Gearing up for the Craft Fair

Hello Readers!
I have been gearing up for my first ever craft fair appearance and am excited and nervous all at once! I don't know if I am making too much stuff, not enough stuff, or if I am just right (sounds like Goldilocks and the 3 bears eh?) Well, I need to get back to accomplishing my goals on goodies! If you are able, stop and see me at the 5th Annual Shopping Extravaganza and Craft Fair at the Elizabeth Community Building in Elizabeth on October 9, 2010 from 9am until 5pm. I will have a door prize and other random goodies throughout the day!
In the meantime, enjoy the eye candy that I've been working on and is for sale! Message me for prices and shipping details (always free shipping on cards up to 5) I have also posted some pictures of where the magic happens, so when I say I'm working on goodies, you can see where I work!

Harvest Season

Hello Blogger Peeps!
It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted. I was on vacation for a week to Minnesota. Working at a music festival is rewarding and fun, yet exhausting! I came home on Monday with a cold and felt like I could have slept for a week, but alas, reality calls! I got busy today finally and made a few cool little items. Some holiday cards and a treat tin along with a couple of journals! Back to the real job tomorrow (well, today actually, but I am of the opinion that it isn't officially tomorrow until I've slept), so papercrafting will be on the side burner until my next day off. So in the meantime, here's some fun eye candy for you!

Excitement!

I am so happy right now! I get to participate in a craft fair in October! Come see me and buy some cards, journals, or pre-made scrapbook pages on October 9th in Elizabeth at the Community Building. It is the same weekend as the River Ridge Craft Fair and Country Fair weekend in Galena. Perfect weekend for traffic! I'm going to be busy stocking up so I have plenty to sell that weekend! I will have Christmas Cards, both traditional and eclectic as well as other cards for birthdays, anniversaries, sympathy, weddings, get well, hellos, and thank you's. As I progress this next month, I'll post pictures of completed projects. If you see something you like, let me know and I can get it to you before the Craft Fair! I will ship any greeting cards for free. Journals will just cost the rate they will cost. They do weigh more. I'm not looking to profit on shipping, just recoup shipping costs. Anyhow. I also had a custom card order come through thanks to Tim at Petal Arts referring me (THANKS TIM!). Here's a picture of that card outside and in, along with 2 journals I completed in the last couple of days. Enjoy...Happy Tuesday!

SOLD!

Well, it was a productive week last week, even with all the family wedding festivities. I sold 11 of the 12 journals I had and 32 cards. I couldn't bring myself to sell my favorite journal I've made to date (see photo)
YIPPEE! Now comes the fun part of replenishing stock. Remember if you would like Christmas or any other type of card, let me know. I need a lead time of about 2 weeks for 20 Christmas cards and just a couple of days for a random card here and there. In the meantime, enjoy a little Christmas sneak peek of shimmery, glittery blingyness!
Let me know what you need and I'll get to work! Have a fabulous Friday everyone!!

Two in one day??

Yes, when you put your mind to it, anything is possible. I just cranked out this awesome journal and I'm totally excited about it. I have about 7 more to make this weekend, plus plan a wedding service for next weekend. Yes, obviously I work better under a little bit of pressure. Here's the journal and a cool photo of my plant. He needs a name. He's awesome and has easily tripled in size since I got him in the spring. He's already been transplanted once and certainly needs it again! Help me name him. I just say "hi you" when I walk in the room..lol!
Again...have a fantastic Friday!

2 New Cards

Happy Friday the 13th and International Lefty Day! Yippee for both!
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

New Stuff

Hi followers!
I have a couple of new cards to show you today! I hope you enjoy them! Have a spectacular Friday!
By the way peeps, the word of the day is: technomania. According to my favorite website phrontistery.info, technomania is the "craze for technology". I love looking at tech websites and looking at new phones, new computers and the like. If money were no object, I think I would throw down for the new ipad. Ridiculous name, interesting product. Ok, I think that is enough for today! See you next time!
