Yay, pictures!

I can't believe I'm actually posting 2 days in a row! I made good on my promise of showing some pictures of the goods so I hope all is forgiven. The top photo is how I'm imagining my layout at tomorrow's Holiday Boutique (in Mission Viejo, remember?). It's the partial layout, anyhow. I still have to plan a spot for a few other non-holiday cards. You'll also see my very favorite card of the season ("Star of Wonder...") and a "purse" gift card holder.

Below us I've posted a couple of my favorite non-holiday wares, just so you can see what else I've been up to. All told, I have over 300 products to sell tomorrow (or anytime if anyone's interested...!!!). I told you I haven't just been hangin' out watching Desperate Housewives! I've been a busy girl but I have had SO much fun making things! I love the big flower card and gift card slider (below). The stamp is from Stampin' Up! and it pops in Pacific Point and Kiwi Kiss on a Going Gray background. The color inspiration for these two came from a fun pair of shoes I got a few months ago! The other card is for a new baby. Note to my New York people: Deer are very in right now so be aware. You thought I was crazy with the chandeliers and you probably think I'm crazy with my deer-talk right now--but you'll see.

Well, I still have a lot to do to get ready for tomorrow but I promise this will not be my last post for a long time. My lofty goal for the next week is to set up a page for people to see ALL of my inventory with prices and ordering information. Still working on logistics with that, but at least you caught a glimpse of what I've been working on over the last couple of months.

Until next time...

Where Have I Been?

So, yeah, I know, it's been almost a month since I promised to post new pictures. That's not nice of me but please accept my sincerest apologies. In my defense there has been A LOT going on! Craft fairs, open houses, about 46 birthdays, orders to fulfill, Thanksgiving, a Christmas season in full swing, and trying not to alienate friends or family when I keep having to say "I'm so busy". I'm sure that gets fairly annoying. Plus, random things happen that prevent me from working--a loud-snoring dog, a touch of vertigo (honestly, it was really more than a touch), and an urge to write a story about a haunted house in Big Sur! What?! Yeah, random. That said, this entry will be short. It's just so I can let you know I haven't forgotten about the blog and I am taking pictures this afternoon to edit tonight and post tomorrow.

I will be in Mission Viejo on Saturday, December 6th, with my girl Gayle (of Little AM Designs) at The Learning Experience Holiday Boutique. We'll be there from 8am to 3pm hawking our awesome cards, gift tags, and gift card holders so check it out if you're in the area. It will be a great opportunity to do a little holiday shopping and get one-of-a-kind gifts for all of your favorite people! I hope to see you Saturday!
