Back to Work...

After a long weekend of pumpkin carving, visiting with family and friends, eating massive amounts of food, and cheering for the Red Sox (WOOHOO! GO SOX!)... its time to get back to work! :)

Now, here's something I've been working on...

Yay!

Someone added me to an Etsy Treasury! (This is a list of items that everyone can view... I don't know how they get chosen, but sometimes they end up on the front page of Etsy.com) Exciting morning!!

Thanks Debbie! :)

Good morning...

I looked up from reading my e-mail this morning, to find the room glowing pink! I ran outside in my pajamas and took this picture ;) Happy day.

Woah!

I had my first large order the other day, and it was so surprising! I love checking my e-mail! I never know what's going to be in there ;) I also love how my husband lovingly looks at each card that was bought, before I send it out. He looks at them and says, "Aww... I loved this one..." I think he is actually sad to see them go!
I also had a request for another custom order, last night.... Exciting things brewing here!!

SOMETHING INTERESTING:
I belong to a group of greeting card makers from Etsy called, cleverly enough... "EtsyGreetings" ;) A site just went into action today to focus on bringing handmade cards to the public! No more having to search through hundreds of listings... The cards from many artists are featured on a single website, and there will be a single theme throughout. Fall and Thanksgiving is the current theme.

Check out the site here: http://cljdesigns.typepad.com/etsygreetings/

Its a fantastic way to browse and (buy buy buy!) hundreds of handmade cards from talented artists! So much work has gone into creating this site.... Its worth a click! :D

shut uuuuuupppp.....

I got an e-mail from a friend this weekend... She wanted me to turn this picture of a shoe into a card for her friend. It was a fun challenge ;) I love drawing shoes, anyway... so that was a bonus! I hope she enjoys the card!! UPDATE 10.13.07 I was told she loved the card so much that she went out and bought the shoes!! Yay :D

Moving Right Along...

Well, I finally squeezed in some time to finish up on a whole bunch of cards. They are all over my house! For some reason I moved away from my studio and into the dining room... Cards everywhere! ;) I'm so happy to be moving along with these projects! Its been fun watching them come to life, and I've come up with so many more ideas along the way.... More to come!!

We went apple-picking at a farm on Sunday. I had never actually seen a field of flowers before... but, there it was! The flowers were huge and very colorful... amazing! Fun day :)
