Monday, Monday

Hey Monday!!

I had a fantastic weekend here! I hope you all did as well! We rode our dirtbikes all over our property mostly, and did a bunch of yard work. We also went to my fathers house and cleaned out his whole yard, which is very small, and took a load to the dump for him. We felt very accomplished and satisfied with ourselves! His yard looks great. It was a good weekend!

I have been incorporating more Kraft into my craft (ha), and have been enjoying it quite a lot. It really does go with just about any color combo, and adds a definite style and feel all it's own.

This is a set of three small note cards that I enjoy creating. And apparently, my customers enjoy them too! :) I cannot keep them stocked in my Etsy shop long!

Some quick selling tips:

~ Always finish the inside of each card. There should be somewhere for the customer to write.

~Sewing and brad prongs should never show through to the inside of the card. Period.

~Don't be stingy on the glue and adhesives. You do not want your card to fall apart at all. Ever.

~If a customer asks for a custom order, do it. You might acquire a customer for life! :)

I am going to get busy stamping and gardening today. I have a ton of card ideas in my head, and the weeds are taking over already! Yikes, which one to do first?? Probably cards!!

Thanks for putting up with me today!

Back on Etsy Baby!!

I am back!!

Back to work, that is!

I have been making and selling my greeting cards for about 5 years now. I have sold cards on Ebay, in an online store with a group of cardmakers, at craft fairs and churchs, and am currently selling in my own shop on Etsy.

For a little more than a year now, and I love it!

I had closed my shop for about a month and a half, to get our home organized and painted for selling and moving. Now everything is in place, and we are waiting for a buyer to swing our way. So it is back to regular life while we wait. Selling a home is hard work, I am finding out! Yikes!

So, I am concentrating on things I love to keep my mind off the stress of moving.

Paper crafts it is!!

Please check out my little card shop and my listings and let me know what you think! I love to hear feedback! :)

Also, if you know where I can find a nice header and banner for my blog and Etsy Shop, please let me know. I am not that savvy at graphics on the web, and would really appreciate any info you can give me. I have seen a lot of great blog designs, and I think I am ready to look great too! :)

So, thanks to all!

Check out my shop!
