Quiet times

I have been spending a lot of time trying to get everything organised for my wedding on Friday so you have probably noticed that my blog and etsy have been very quiet. I will be back in a couple of weeks with lots of new items and back on board!!

Busy times!

My wholesale order is now finished! Oh it looks so cute on its box! I can't wait to see how they go in the new store they are being sent off to. Hopefully this is the first order with many more to come!! When I first starting listing on Etsy my dream was to have my items sitting in a store for resale! It is the biggest compliment!

Today I also discovered a new website!!! It is Pinkdoodle! oh I can't help but laugh at the name *giggles*. It is a online place to buy and sell 'creative goods'. It is very much like Etsy but it is a UK site which i nice for a change. I am listing most of my Esty items to fill my shop up but will be adding some new stuff in the coming weeks (I just need to fine the time :( ).

I also have something I want to save up for. It is the cutest laptop I have EVER seen! And its PINK!!! Argh!! *jumps up and down with excitement* It is Asus EEE and I want it soooo bad!! It is tiny! Now I need you to all go to my store and shop shop shop. I only need a whole $500!! I will send you a thousand thank yous!!

My little pretties...

For the past 2 nights I have been working on my first wholesale order! It has been a lot of fun but extremely tiring as I am doing 11 hour days at my full time job (to help support my crafting addiction). Now all that is left to do is cover the pencils to go with the sets! Then the painful part... Packaging.. my packing can take me hourrrsssssss. But I alway get good feedback which makes it all worth it :)
After doing this order I can barely type as 4 out of my 10 fingers are all burnt from the hot glue :(

Thank you gifts & Rubber Stamp, Stamp Stamp Stamps!!

Today I have been working on some new items for my store.
I have created a little stationery on the go kit. Perfect for keeping in your bag for the times when you need to jot something done while you are on the run! Unfortunately the photo doesn't do it justice... I am having a bad camera day, i think my batteries might be dying.


I have also been stocking up on some more thank you gifts to put in my little packages I send to customers. I have made some note match books with lined paper and stamped with my own hand carved stamp. I must say, I am really building up a collection of my stamps!! I keep thinking 'what can I carve and stamp now!' I just want to stamp everything!! My biggest trouble I am having is finding large erases!! Every shop I go to stocks the same ones!!




All of this stamp talking has got me wanting to carve a new one! Argh! help me, I think I might have a new addiction!

Craft time!!

Lilley and I have been crafting away tonight making new items for my etsy shop and packing all of my note card sets.

I am now selling custom made note cards sets!! Please check them out and let me know if I can help you with anything!! I am having lots of fun with these sets and hope they take off soon. So far I only sold one but I hope to sell LOTS :)

New Note Card Sets!!

These are my new little beauties! I absolutely LOVE them!! They are my new note card sets now available in my etsy store. I have designed a range of different colourful sets which have been stamped with my hand carved stamps which were made by my two little hands. Every set is 100% handmade from the cutting of the envelopes, folding gluing to stamp carving. I am making more and stamps all the time so in the next couple of weeks I hope to have many more sets!!

Paris Chic Boutique

Yay! My apple magnets were featured on Paris Chic Boutique! They have a very cute blog and definitely have some really good finds. Makes me want to go back to Paris....

Georgie Love items now up!!

My stuff is now available on Georgielove.com! Make sure you stop by and check it out!!

Georgie Love Order & Ramblings

I have been busy for the past couple of days working on new items ready to send off to Georgie Love!!

Hopefully they will all be ready by the end of January so make sure you stop by and check them out! They are one offs and will only be available on Georgie Love.

I also organised my fabric! I finally have everything in a more organised state, as before it was a mess!! I am hoping to be able to list a few of my wristlets and pouches on Etsy in the next couple of months (after I get all of my other custom order finished!)

I have also been browsing around Etsy this week and came across Jelene. She has some awsome pieces which are very fun and colourful! I think her stuff will be in my new list of 'things to buy'!!

My New Years Resolution...

I don't usually make one as I never stick them it but this year I am going to try really hard to be organised. Last year I fluked it and think I did ok but I not only need to keep my life organised, I need to keep my Esty store organised as it is picking up I need to make sure everything is in order.

I have wanted to have a white board in my room so I can see things which need to be done in a glance but now my wall is nicely painted, the last thing I want to do is go sticking things on it so I needed to improvise. I came up with some pretty ribbon which I think goes beautifully!

I also needed to sort out my packaging for my blobs. I have been able to get away with the normal zip lock bags but my packs are now changing quite a bit and the zip lock bags are just not working any more. I have given cellophane a go. It is extremely fiddly and takes a lot more time but I think it looks quite nice. Packaging is one thing which I try to improve on all the time as this is one thing as that is what can make or break your product or brand. I think my blobs look attractive in their new little packs :)
