Summertime Art by FAAP on Etsy







Wuf wuf from me, Charcoal


Summer has arrived 
in Middle Tennessee 



The fireflies, 
or lightening bugs, 
 as we call them, 
are blinking their green lights...



Tree frogs are everywhere 
and I don't see how something 
so small can be so loud. 
(Bark, bark, bark)



We have had our 
second frog visitor 
in the house for the season!

He thought he had found the Beach!!

He was a pretty green!
Mommie is comfortable or cold, 
and I am hassling 
to beat the drum! 
She felt sorry for me 
and turned on the 
air conditioner before June. 
90° days are warmish...
wuf wuf

WUFly Summer art

This is a family favorite--

perfect for any time of year,
 and oh, so, easy to make! 



Pink Stuff


 1 can Cherry Pie Filling
1 LG can Crushed Pineapple, drained well (drink the juice!)
2 or 3 bananas, sliced--ripper ones taste better! (Mash if you are going to freeze it)
Regular size Tub of Cool Whip, thawed
2 large hand fulls of mini marshmallows
Sugar to taste (maybe 1/4 cup)
Pinch of Salt

 Mix well.
Chill and Enjoy

 This can be frozen, but it is better to make it with strawberries or cranberries...I don't know why...lol

FAAP MARKETPLACE




It is a lazy day in Middle Tennessee 

so I thought I would 
catch you up on what is happening 
with the 
FAAP TEAM on Etsy.

And Oh,
YAY Nashville Predators!!


This last week, 
we focused on updating the

FAAP MARKETPLACE 
on Facebook.

 We realize that many of our customers don't shop on etsy, and we want to keep YOU updated as to what we are creating, with the hope you will become comfortable shopping on etsy. 
* * * * * * 

That brings up a new feature on etsy. You can now SHOP without having to join etsy. They have created a GUEST CHECKOUT. We are pretty excited about this, so keep it in mind.
* * * * * * 

 FAAP MARKETPLACE was created as another tool to help our team to connect to our customers and friends.

 We have had a few auctions, but it has never been a great success, but we haven't given up. We are always trying to improve what we do! 

 We spent this last week doing some house cleaning and updating.

 When you enter FAAP MARKETPLACE, you will notice it is like any other page--lots to see! 

 What makes FAAP MARKETPLACE unique is that each member of FAAP has the opportunity to add an album of their creations. This way, if you have a favorite artist, and we KNOW you do, you can easily find their album to see what they have created! 

 We are going to try to do better, so join us, and visit often! We love to create.

 The FAAP MARKETPLACE is a group page. Search it on facebook, and ask to join. We would love to have you.
* * * * * * 


 I picked out just a few of my favorite things from FAAP MARKETPLACE, to get your attention! I'm including the Etsy shop links, too, so you can go visit these shops...just click on the blue to MAGICALLY appear! 

 We WUF your support and encouragement...

 Thank you!! Wuf wuf...

Getting to know More of US at FAAP



I WUF this saying...
That is what an artist does...
we SHARE ourselves through our creations.

I'm dog tired.
My Momma kept me awake trying to get
some deadline finished.
Wish she could not make so much noise.



It is time to share a few more of our Shops 
and how they got their names..
I WUF reading these!

We have the magic going again--
simply click on the shop name to 
Magically appear in each shop
WUF WUF

Faith Conroy
I love everything old and worn, so that is where the Primitive part of the name came from and there are times when you just have to put that black hat on and show them who you are ;-) that is where the rest came from. The entire name is "The Primitive Black Hat Society" but etsyshortened it to PrimitiveBlackHat 







Michelle Smith
Monday's Child is taken from the old nursery rhyme (yes I was born on a Monday LOL). I wanted something old and whimsical but yet something different that would be easy to remember. In a roundabout way it also ties my mom into it since she is my helper, teacher, and inspriaton.  







Susan Smith
My great aunt really was a gypsy. My grandmother used to tell so many stories about her and always said she was as free as the wind. She was truly so beautiful inside and out and as a child I wanted to be her ... sometimes as an adult too. 







Sharon Jedlinsky
My daughters and I were supposed to craft together. Hence the plural Crusty Old Crows.  Crusty and Old seemed to describe the primitive look we wanted and Crows being a big part of primitives  worked well.   Well two of the crows jumped ship. LOL and now it is just me. 







Connie Smith
I have collected fabrics, trims and buttons for over 30 years, and I have a quilting business which yields lots of scraps.  My love of old and tattered quilts and things gave me the idea.  







Debi Tricerri
mine came out of the fact that my craft room is always in this state, even when it's clean!! mine has never looked like the pristine craft rooms in magazines!! and yes i know where every supply is, that is until i clean it!!  😆. 




* * * * * * * 

Here is a quick recipe for all the chocolate lovers.

Oreo Balls

1 package of Oreo Cookies, crumbled
I crumble them in a zip lock bag.
1 8 ounce block of cream cheese, room temperature
Again, I throw it in the zip lock bag with the cookie crumbs
I mix it gently in the bag while I watch TV

Throw in the fridge to cool a bit

Roll into small balls and place on a cookie sheet.
Put in the freezer to harden.

Dip into melted Chocolate
Drizzle some white chocolate on the tops to look purdy!

YUMMY and, oh, so easy!

The FAAP Team is having a Heart a Thon.
That means, we heart a bunch of items.

This helps us get seen in Etsy.

As you know, there are hundreds of shops in Etsy.
The more activity that happens in our shop,
The better our chance for shoppers to find us.

We would appreciate it.

Go to the Etsy Search Bar
type:

It is better to click on the item so it opens

Bob Reyna
Ryen wanted to leave the shop name open to include any kind of items she chose to create.  After many attempts at shop names that were already taken, RyensMarketplace was born.






Jennifer Rose-Atchison
I named my store after my big baby cat named Paulie Wogs. 





Scott Foster
The adze is a tool similar to an axe but the blade is perpendicular to the handle.  The history of the adze is muddy but archeologists know it goes back as far as the stone age.  I used the adze in my shop name because it reminds me of what can be done with simple handtools.  With an axe, and an adze, a Viking could build a ship.     Adzewoodcraft







Tammy Peacock Fry
I came up with my name, after my great aunts farm.  My favorite place.  Her farm was called Lost Valley Farm, as they flooded the valley where the old town site was, it became the lost valley.  She lived in a big old farm house surrounded by antiques, but to her they were her everyday things. 😊





Sherrie Dalton
A while back I was laughing with my sisters and my husband told us we sounded like old cackling hens all in good humor of course. So, I thought hmm....Old Cacklin' Hen... sounds like a good name for my business.







* * * * * * * *
Don't forget that there are still LOTS of sales items available.
You don't want to pass up a bargain, wuf ya?!




I can think of nothing lovelier than receiving a handmade gift.
