Mover and a Shaker

Rossleigh is ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!  This child went from sitting one week to crawling the next!!  There was no gradual scooting period or anything.  On top of it, while she knew HOW, she never even rolled over much either.  Big time culture shock for all of us!  LOL

See the video below for her in action.  She starts out playing with some fabric scraps then decides she wants something on the OTHER side of Bean.  No matter!  She just crawls over him!!  LOL  

P.S. - notice how stoic Bean is in the beginning of the video.  Statue!!  :)

New custom order

YAY!!! I just had another request for a custom order - all thanks to my gal pal, Wimsy on Etsy. A buyer convo'd me about making some thank you cards for her daughter to send out for her graduation. I made five different thank you cards, some pretty and some funky...I'll post them here. Whatcha think?








They sold to a very nice lady. PLUS, she wanted slots in each one for a 2"x3" photo of the graduate! I got to use my notch tool!! :)
By the way, enter my contest while you are here!! Click on "crazy giveaway" over in the archives. :) Have a lovely day!

Couple Sales

Hello all!! I have had a few sales over the last few days.
My newest Wordy Birdy card sold and my DANG card sold...there were a couple of others too...

Anyway, I am thinking about starting a thing where I feature an Etsy artist every week. What do you think? I need to bring more traffic to my blog, and talking about JUST my latest postings has got to be boring for everyone reading. Started the giveaway, which has brought on a lot of traffic, but just trying to brainstorm.

Anyone have any ideas?

One of my newest listings ----->

Sneak Peek at new card

Just a quick note to show a sneak peek at a new card I will list tomorrow on my Etsy site.

Wow-de-dow!! The best thing I have done on Etsy so far is to join the EtsyCAKE forum. If you are on Etsy and want to meet a bunch of SUPER NICE gals, have fun conversation, AND get sales, you should DEFINITELY come by.

In 48 hours, I went from 2 sales to 10 sales. WOW!!!

Hey, make sure to enter my giveaway while you are here!!

New card in shop!!

Wow!! Those number tags went FAST!!! I had 5 lots of them and they all sold to ONE buyer! Hey, I'm not complainin'!! Check out this new card I posted recently. I made it in honor of my sister who says this ALL the time. But, it makes a cute, versatile card because it could be given for several different occasions!
