I made my first Treasury today!

I keep watching everyone make the most gorgeous treasuries on Etsy and I've always wanted to try it but I thought it would be really hard.  I remember when I first started on Etsy a couple of years ago how hard it was to even get a treasury on once it was made, but I finally decided to try one today.  It was about the most fun I've had in a long time, and it was very easy once I figured out what I was doing.

I chose a Polka Dot theme but as I was going through the polka dot listings I found I was drawn to the red, black and white ones and that's what I concentrated on.  It took about an hour to put it together, and then, just as I was about to save it, I somehow lost the entire page!   Aaaaagh!

So I started all over again, remembering some I had done, but finding other, new ones I actually liked even better.  When I finally hit the "save" button, I thought it was going to take me to a holding place, but lo and behold--my treasury was up!

Here it is: 

'Vintage On the Dot' by deerpathvintage

I'm dotty for dots. Maybe because my BFF in HS was Dot. Or because I love the Polka. Or because I grew up in the polka dot era. Did I mention that I love the Polka?

Soooo. . . . now that I've done one of them I'm going to be wanting to do more.  (This treasury included several pieces from the Etsy Vintage Team.  I think I'll do my next one to include pieces from Vintage Village.  Not surprisingly two of my favorite places.)
