Goodness, we've been busy around here! :) The sale has been a hit, and I've been printing orders and packaging almost every day to stay on top of things.

Both sales end tonight at midnight, so if you haven't taken advantage of them yet- definitely do that sometime today. :) the details again: Also- Dont forget that there is currently a Black Friday 40% off sale in my etsy shop.

Closer look at the new art listed...

I listed 4 new art prints in honor of Black Friday's 40% off sale (going on through monday) and my last post was so loaded with information, that I didnt feel like I could elaborate on the new pieces much. They definitely needed they're very own post! :) So- I think my favorite from the new batch of art is this print: Always be Different 24.00 in VOL25 etsy shop This was one of those prints (there seems to be lots lately!) that I really struggled with, and I have a few other revisions saved along with this one. I... Read more →

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope those celebrating the holiday are having a nice one. :) We're just about ready to head out the door to my parent's house. Bringing waaay too much food with us! But isnt that just a given? Anyhow, I'm really excited to kick off the BIG BLACK FRIDAY SALES!!! So, tonight after getting back, I'll probably go ahead and sit myself right here at the computer and start both the sales a few hours early! ;) As I type this, Trinity is reading everything I say.

a quote for your week chap 77

Hi!! :) How was your weekend? Ours was nice and quiet... we got even more snow on Saturday... in fact it snowed most of the day. I wish fall would have stuck around a little longer, but it definitely feels like winter now. The snow melted a little yesterday, but unfortunately it is still here! When we have snow on the ground, it just makes me want to stay inside cuddled up with a blanket... I'm such a hermit type person! :) Well, in other news I'm almost done with all of the preparations for black friday. I made a... Read more →

We are busy busy preparing for black friday!

This past week I had quite a few boxes dropped off at my back door: Lots of cardboard... bunches of envelopes, mailing tubes, plastic sleeves, end caps... you know, the fun stuff? :) Actually, I wouldnt consider it to be the fun stuff, but definitely necessary. Me and Trin spent time at the table stuffing cardboard into plastic sleeves, stuffing envelopes etc. etc. :) She really likes to help, and I can't complain. I'm trying to be as prepared for the holiday rush as possible. Having orders as ready as possible, saving me bunches of time during the packaging process.... Read more →

Quite possibly the cutest thing ever...

This cupcake catering trailer is ADORABLE! I think that any baked goods would taste ten times better being served from a trailer THIS cute. :) ADORABLE. If I lived anywhere near Los Olivos California... I would definitely have to book this little guy for a party! :) P.s. Images property of enjoycupcakes. :) Read more →

FREEBIE- Rustic Holiday tags for 2011

It is officially November, and time for me to start gearing up for black friday in BOTH shops! I've finally ordered my packaging, ink, and holiday packaging goodies! I decided to design and gift these holiday tags this year. So, every order placed in my etsy shop (after Thanksgiving) will receive a sheet of these gift tags on 8.5x11 heavy postcard paper. I then decided to spread the love even more and offer them in a free pdf printable, so you can print more copies! :) The woodgrain paper is beautiful: and is meant to be cut into strips, and...

Our Haloween 2011

The girls really enjoyed trick or treating this year. Journey especially LOVED it. She kept begging papa to take her to "one more house" and then one more house turned into "just one more" etc. etc. Journey was minnie mouse, which really fit her. She LOVES minnie mouse, in fact her and minnie are just about inseperable. :) Trinity wanted to be a princess again. No surprise there! :) My sister and her husband brought they're kids over and my grandma and my parents drove into town and we all took the kids trick or treating around our neighborhood. The...
