A few of our ETSY Items

Its been too long since I posted anything!

I am sorry I have not  posted anything in a while.  Life has been crazy lately!!!
I want to post a few new pictures. We have been selling items on ETSY and we have a show this coming weekend in Bloomburg Texas.

Banner Banner and More Banners!

I have found a new favorite thing to make. Banners! They are so much fun to design and make. Over the weekend I made some It's a Boy, It's a Girl and Happy Birthday ones. I will post some pictures later today of them.

I hope to sell them in our upcoming craft shows and also plan to to put some on ETSY.  This is also a great way to use spare paper up. I really got some good use out of my cricut while making these banners.

I found that by leaving my cricut out in the open I use it alot more!

Hugs, Mary

My 2nd Post Today!

This is one of my favorite things that I have made in a few months. I just love the colors!

I think I need to add a few more ribbons to it.

This picture just makes me laugh!

I found this on my computer at work and everytime I see this pictures of Jordan is cracks me up! It is 3 years old but still rings a smile to my face everytime I see it.

Upcoming Craft Sale

I want to post some of the items we have been busy making for our next craft sale. We have both been very busy making things.
I have also uploaded several new items to ETSY.

So far we have made 19 sales which I am tickled pink about!

I hope you like what you see...

Hugs,

ETSY Store

I forgot that I have never posted the actual store's site.

It is www.love2embellish.etsy.com

It has all kinds of papercrafting items.

So far we have had 18 sales which is pretty good I understand for a new store. We have only been open since the end of May.

It took a little work getting it set up but it has been fun. I get so excited when I get a message from Pay Pal saying that I have a payment waiting.

Hugs!

Summer is Winding Down

Well it seems that since summer is ALMOST over I have been thinking about fall and how busy it is about to be....

School starts in 2 1/2 weeks
Last vacation of the summer is next week-Port Aransas here we come!!!!
Fall craft shows starting
Getting ready for the holidays
Keeping the ETSY store stocked

I am already getting tired.

But I love it at the same time!

Oh I can not forget keeping up with my "Farm" on Farmtown. That seems to be a new obsession of mine. At least my husband thinks so. :)

I sent the 1st 2 applications in this week for the Gladewater and Bloomburg craft shows. I hope they are successful even more than last years were.

Happy late 4th everyone!

Happy July to everyone. I can not believe the summer is half way over already. School will be starting soon and so will the Fall Craft Shows! We better get busy making some new items. I hope to be really stocked up with new products by our 1st Fall show.

I will post which shows we will be at very soon.

Hugs!
Mary

Mary and Jordan are on vacation

Here's hoping they are having fun. They will be gone for one week beginning June 26th. I'm sure they will have plenty to post and will update by next week.

Have fun and good weather,
Janie

Cass County SummerFest

Today was our second craft fair of this year. About 40 vendors, including food vendors. We did OK, despite the heat. Was 97* today. Not that many people milling around in the middle of the day. We folded out tent about 2:30 and was out of there. We are looking forward to the fall fairs. Weather should be much nicer. We also need to add to our inventory for the Fall and Christmas season.

Schools out for Summer!

Jordan got out of school yesterday and today we have done NOTHING !

I did clean up my scrapbooking room and created a few new items. I went to the American Scrapbook Convention and picked up a few new goodies.

I will post some pics of new creations.

We have a craft show coming up next weekend. It is the Cass County Sumerfest in Atlanta.

I hope we sale lots of items to make room for new items for the Fall shows.

I have uploaded lots of new things on ETSY also. Please check it out! I would love to hear some comments.

Summer is here!

I love summer! I am so glad it is finally here. Of course it just has to be a rainy weekend but at least I get a few days off work....

Jordan has only 2 weeks of school left so we are celebrating that. I plan on adding some new stuff to ETSY this weekend so I guess it is okay that it is going to rain ALL weekend. So far I have had 3 sales That is pretty good I guess since some people go months before getting their first sale. I hope that is a good sign.

Better go craft now. Happy Memorial Day to everyone and Happy Summer!

Hugs,
Mary

Finally...after debating for a long time

We did it! We opened up a shop on Etsy. Go check it out.
The address is www.love2embellish.etsy.com

I have only listed 2 items so far. It is taking me a while to figure it all out. I have a lot to list on it so it will take me a few days probably.
It is a lot of work let me tell you. I am guessing it will be easier every time.

Please check it out and let me know what you think.
Have a great weekend.

Hugs!

It's a whole new day! I turn 40 tomorrow and craft show season is starting up. I have been in CRAFT MODE for about a week now. My mom has stayed with me last week and we are gearing up for our 1st Spring Show. It will be in Linden, Texas on April 25th.

So... this past week has been very busy and productive. I promise to update this blog on a more regular basis now!

Hugs and Kisses!
