Altered Moments and Altered Moments Market Groups on Facebook

 

                                                 Altered Moments Groups Found on Facebook

Hi! Welcome to LilacsNDreams! I love finding people, and groups that share items repurposed. Upcycled, restyled using new, used, and old items they have or found. 1 thing I had not thought about redoing, or transforming were Precious Moments, and other ceramic figurines. I ran across a group on Facebook doing this, and wanted to share with you. It was so neat seeing some share what the figurine looked like before they restyled, or transformed it into what it became. Soo neat!!

The name of the group on Facebook is called Altered Moments and they also have an Altered Moments Market. They use Precious Moments, and other ceramic collectible figurines that they transform. Amazing pieces they share there! I would have never guess to see such a transformation of these pieces! It’s amazing, and I am in aww of what I have seen so far too.

Here are just a very few pictures that I am sharing to give you an idea of what they are doing there. When you can you need to check them out. They are public groups, and you just might be in aww of some of the things that I seen too. Some really great work done, and I really do enjoy seeing the before, and after pictures. With these you can really see the full transformation of some of these pieces shared.

Also, I started to play around a little bit at Canva. I’d like to have new business cards. Going back, and forth with design, the layout, something on the front and back of the card, etc. Here is an example of what I have started. Remember I am just playing around right now. 

It’s always hard to know what is right, and wrong. What works, and don’t work. What honestly looks good, and is eye appealing to everyone too. I can still go to Vista Print where I normally get my cards, and do some designing there too. We’ll see what I eventually decide on.

Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams! I enjoy the visits, and hearing from everyone too. Please feel free to comment, and share. Would be great to hear from you!

Thanks again, and Take Care!

Welcome to LilacsNDreams! I first wanted to apologize for not posting last week. I had made a sale with a Coach Purse I offered on Facebook Marketplace. Prior to this I had sold another Coach of same color, but smaller too. 

Anyway, when people ask me to I have been shipping, and I do shipping through Pirate Ship. I can generally save about 1-2 dollars on shipping compared to the postal service. Sooo this was a sale that was going to ship. Sunday night I was making preparations to have this purse ready to ship Tuesday morning since I had an appointment on Monday. Well, I went to Pirate Ship, put in all the info, and then went to print. Printer telling me paper was jammed. I checked it…knowing it wasn’t. It seem to be a repeat of doing this lately. I turned the printer off, and on, I unplugged it, plugged it back in, I cleaned the roller, put a touch of oil with it as my brother-in-law suggested, and this time nothing was working for me. I honestly had this printer quite a while. Fortunately it lasted me longer than some have done for others.

So, the search was on to locate a printer being offered reasonably, had good reviews, looking at ink used, and of course the price with it too. I finally decided on one…they all start looking alike after a while too. Placed my order, and then the wait. I realized I used a printer more than I thought I had with not having one to use too. 

I got lucky the new printer arrived here Tuesday…after I had shipped the purse. Oh, well, I was able to spend time with setting it up, activating it, connecting to my iPad, and phone too. I was so involved with this issue that I overlooked making my weekly Monday posting on my sight. I am really sorry everyone. I thought about it, intended to do it, and then was side tracked with the printer issue. 

I hope everyone had a great week last week, and wishing you all a great week this week. Thanks for stopping by LilacsNDreams everyone! Take care, and see you again soon.
