A few new items...

from last night's trunk show! Here are some quick photos of my new business card holders, checkbook covers, blank notecards, and more. I'm planning to add these to my Etsy shop in the next day or so. Enjoy!

Trunk Show Tomorrow!

If you're in Central Ohio, tomorrow is our first big Etsy Team Columbus trunk show held at the Market at Serendip in Powell, Ohio. It's a girls' night out theme from 7-9pm. More details are a few posts back. I'd love to see some of you there!

The Next Month +

We are finally in contract with our house! Now, we have to find another house and prepare to move in the next month or so. I am currently finishing and shipping all current orders and trying to get ahead a little for the holiday season. I'm only anticipating my Etsy shop being closed for a week or two while we get moved or settled.

If you need any custom orders for upcoming birthdays or gifts, please get them in quickly. :)

Thanks so much for all of your patience and understanding!

Character Card Sets for Kids!

As a former language arts teacher, I always wanted my students to write in real life, not just for assignments. Hence, my latest items for craft shows and local markets! Each character card set features 2 pockets on the inside, 6 blank character cards and 6 envelopes. It's the perfect way for your Sponge Bob, Dora, Diego, Tinkerbell, etc. fan to send notes to their teachers, friends, grandparents, and more.

At this point, these will only be available locally and by custom order. If you're interested, please let me know.

Local to Central Ohio?

I'll be at the New Albany Market this Friday from 9-1. It's at the corner of 62 and Market St., across from CVS. I'll have several new sets of coasters never posted online before, fridge clothespin clips, post-it note holders, and more! I'm also working on some hair bows and character card sets/ sketch pads for kids. Great gift ideas for the first day of school!

Friday Favorites--Printable Papers!

I confess--I'm addicted to scrapbook paper and use it for everything from the obvious cards and scrapbooking to decoupage and packing envelopes. I love it and can't get enough. Over the last few months, I've discovered printable scrapbooking papers on Etsy, and I love them ,too! The damask patterns in my shop are actually a printable paper that I purchased from Etsy seller cupcakecutiees, and they've been really popular items. Here are a few from my favorites:

Cupcakecutiees has great shop specials and sells everything from scrabble tile size to 8 1/2x11.

Damask--2 colors for $3.50 then print it as many times as you'd like!
