vol.25

another batch of 10 dollar prints listed in the shop...

Hello! I hope you had a nice weekend. :) We went out for lunch/dinner with some friends at our local mexican restaurant.  yummmy. As weird as I may seem, I absolutely love the enchilada with an egg on top. :) Its my favorite. flour shell, with shredded chicken please! :)

Anyhow, I listed the rest of the 8x10's. Once they're gone, they'll be re-listed at full price. I am still debating on whether or not to re-list a few of them. They're from an older series I did with projectgrabbag. :) I'd insert a link... but typepad is acting really weird, and my insert link buttons (along with a few others) have all dissappeared!  If there is a print you'd like, I suggest you grab it! When I listed the last batch, they moved SUPER quick! :) You can see the section here (copy and paste) http://www.etsy.com/shop/vol25?section_id=6590389 There is also one 11x14 left from the bunch.... listed in the same section as the other reduced prints. :)

Tomorrow is the last day to take advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free sale!

It is driving me crazy that I cant attach a picture! My sincerest apologies! :)

Hello Black Friday, and some new art!

As you all know today marks the official start of black friday. If your braving the crowds and leaving the house, I wish you the best of luck in your bargain hunting. Be safe! :) If your like me and staying inside, browsing the internet for goodies your UPS man can drop off at your door, then you will want to stop off over at the shop and see what sales we have going on. I've changed things a little from my original plans, and am extending the sale until 12:00 monday the 30th. Hopefully this will give everyone time to take advantage of the lower prices.

Special Sales going on now:

PRINTS: For each 2 prints purchased you will have the option of choosing one free 20.00 print. Please do not add your free print to your shopping cart, but please do let me know in the message to seller  (upon checkout) which print you would like as your free choice. There is no limit to how many prints you can purchase. Example: If you were to purchase 4 prints, you would have two free prints to choose.

COLORING POSTERS: All 4 coloring poster styles are marked down at 3.00 a piece, and are regularly priced at 6.50. The entire set can also be purchased at a highly reduced rate of 6.00. These posters make excellent stocking stuffers. :)

I've also re-listed a bunch of prints, so you may find a few you haven't seen in quite awhile. This means I now have over 100 prints listed in the shop! :)

I have also added this new piece to the shop. Inspiration and quote supplied by Kelly. :)

Love it! And it coordinates so nicely with " a smart person." :)

 
see? ...um no pun intended. :)

Anyhow, that is it for my big update! I'll be home most of the day today, and should be able to answer any questions you might have. Sale ends Monay November 30th!

Vol25 EARLY BIRD SPECIALS and Black Friday details...

Hello everyone! It is that time of year again, and I'm gearing the shop up for a BIG Black Friday sale! Here is your program for the big event. :)

Starting now and ending when selected prints are sold: 

I've just listed 22 prints into an early bird special section. Head on over and take a peek. If there is one you want, I recommend picking it up! Once these are sold they will be re-listed at full price. The prints you see listed in this section were printed for the craft show. I'm needing the extra space, so they are discounted. :)

Starting Friday morning at 12AM - Ending Saturday Morning 12AM:

Friday will be the start of our Buy 2 Get 1 free sale. The sale will apply to regular priced items. In addition, Coloring posters will also be marked down in price, at $3.00 a piece, or $6.00 for the entire set. At these prices, they make PERFECT stocking stuffers.

More details coming in the next couple of days!

50% off ALL items in my artfire shop...

Just a heads up to let you guys know that I am currently having a 50% off sale in my artfire shop. Everything in my etsy shop is marked at full price, and the sale wont apply to etsy purchases. :) My hopes is to get a little more traffic browsing the artfire shop. I'm able to sell there with NO fees, so I really should start trying to promote my artfire shop more...

They are really doing a great job at working and implementing new features. The new look for the shop pages is great! Everything is so customizable and I love that.

PLUS... they have this really nifty Sales mode feature that automatically changes the prices on all your items by the percent you specifiy... and I was really anxious to try it out. ;) I currently only have 1 sold item in my artfire shop, and I would like to build up some feedback over there. All 8x10 prints printed on canvas are marked down to 10.00 a print. :)

But just a reminder that this sale excludes my etsy shop. :) As always, your welcome to contact me if you have any questions!

Anyhow, hope your all doing well. The weather is sooo nice here today. :)

BOGO- BUY 1 GET 1 FREE sale!

I have officially launched the big sale. As some of you know from my previous post I've lost my beloved camera, and have decided to have a big sale in hopes of raising some extra money for its replacement. If I give away prints it is generally a buy 2 get 1 free sale, but this time I've decided to do a buy 1 get 1 free sale. I didnt put an ending date on the offer, it will probably depend on how well everything goes, how busy I stay etc. :)

I was really wanting to do something in honor of my lost camera, and had the idea of making camera id tags for your camera bags or even to hook onto your camera strap in some way. 

If the unthinkable happens and you find yourself misplacing, or in my case losing your camera off the tailgate of the truck, HOPEFULLY you will find that your camera is able to return to your loving arms. :) It is NO fun losing your camera and I do not wish that on anyone! I really wish I had of done something like this when i still had my camera. I think it would be cute to print these on shrinky dink plastic, and attach them by way of a key ring or string. Anyhow I have added them to DIY downloads section in the right hand column of the blog. :) Feel free to share them via your own blog!

So... the sale is live as of now, and if you havent stopped by the shop in awhile you will see several new prints listed. Been super busy getting some new ones finished up. :) like these guys...

from the heart 20.00 in the shop

the robots were a commissioned piece for a couple celebrating they're 5 year anniversary. I fell in love with the bots, and fortunately, they were willing to share! I added them to a new print set with my love happens robots.

and also a new version on this popular print:

 

bound to you in vintage colors also 20.00

I have 5 other prints just about finished making up two new series. One being a new kitchen series, and the other a new nursery themed set.

Anyhow... if you have had a favorite print in mind for awhile, now will probably be your best time to grab it! I probably wont repeat the buy 1 get 1 free sale again anytime this year. So when you feel like shopping, head on over and take a peek at whats new!

last day!

Last day to buy any 2 8x10's and get 1 free. You can go here to see the original post and all the details.

black friday super sale!!

First of all... Happy Thanksgiving!!

Second: I am going to be really lazy since it is super late and I am really tired from baking and cleaning all day (Thanksgiving is at our house this year) so I am copying and pasting this from the sale newsletter I just sent out to my subscribers. :) Please forgive me for the lack of creativity. :) I DID want to go ahead and give everyone a heads up on the sale. Just in case you planned to make a purchase tomorrow.... you may want to wait until friday and save a little money. :)

 
 the details:
Pour yourself a cup of coffee (or if your me, some hot chocolate) grab a warm blanket and take yourself on a shopping spree. All the while getting the black friday sale experience, minus the angry people, long lines, and horrible traffic! :) If you are going out, I wish you the best of luck finding that super special item! But please drive careful, Thanksgiving weekend is the worst for traffic accidents. So... onto the details.
