Great Giveaway from an Etsy Artist

I just found out about a great giveaway from kerrybeary's Etsy shop. Her retro inspired prints are wonderful! I came across a great blog called Oh! How Lovely, and she is featuring a giveaway of 7 great gifts to 7 winners. And the contest is so easy to enter. Just click the link above and find out how.
Hurry, though, this all ends on Friday. Don't miss it!

Finally Listed Another Item!

It's been more than a week since I listed new items at my Etsy shop. I've just been so busy at work, I haven't had much time to work on my crafting. It started because I wanted to make a card for my boyfriend's mother, who generously bought us a new mattress. I had been putting off making cards a bit because I'd been so tired.

Once I sat down, I couldn't be stopped. I took all my supplies out and began making my usual paper explosion mess. It was so relaxing to just putter away at it.

Maybe it was because I didn't feel I needed to make anything to sell. There was no pressure to produce, yet I did produce quite a bit.

So taking a break from your crafts isn't necessarily a bad thing, maybe it's just what you need. Once you go back to it, it will seem like a fun release instead of work. There's no need to spoil your love of crafting... Keep the Love Alive!!

Here I Am

Okay.

I set up my shop on Etsy a little less than a month ago. So now, I figure it's time for me to start up a blog. Bear with me while I get used to all this and set up. I hope to post a few times a month with insight into my life, my crafts and cards, and my business.

I have loved creating homemade cards for friends and family for a while now. A friend told me about Etsy and I decided I'd try it out.

What an amazing community of people- not to mention talented!

Exploring the site has been so much fun and everyone is so friendly and helpful. I can see that I may become addicted to Etsy.

Now it's time to get crafting...
