1st Crafts Show...

L-R: Rayne, Crede', Turkey, Stef, Heather

The first show of the season was a complete HIT! We had fun and Crede' was the BEST little hostess...the extra money we all earned was nice & we laughed the whole day! I can see why we try to do these things annually...Perfect group of vendors. We're working on one for the 13th of December in North Dallas. As we get the details finalized, I will posted the info! Thanks to those that came out and supported us.

Birthday Girl Pail!

Sadie's little girlfriend, Charlotte, is turning three and we've been invited to her birthday party. I made this pail with the birthday princess in mind. I hope she (and her mommy) are as thrilled about it as I am.

The pail is monogrammed with a single initial C, on sparkly paper with a princess crown above it. The image didn't come out as clear as I would have liked. Additionally, I added glitter glaze and rhinestones...

I have started making corresponding greeting cards as well--charge is $3.50.

The pail would sell for $16.75.

Sandra's Order

Sandra's Pail $10.25

Sandra asked me to create a pail for her desk (at work). All she asked was that was her favorite color--PURPLE--was used. The rest was up to me...I just kept Sandra in mind as I worked. The pail is really adorable--it has a glitter glaze and a "princess" crown above the first letter-S. Sandra is a wonderful woman with a heart of gold. Thanks, Sandra, for allowing me to design a very special pail--JUST FOR YOU!

Julie's Order

Photo Frame $15

Pen Holder $8.00 Paperclip Holder $4.50

Clipboard $9.50

Boy, do I miss Julie E!

My sweet long-distance friend placed an order for several items for her home office & just let me know run with the creativity. She wanted a cross between University of Texas and still professional. The goal was to be sassy, fun and not look like a Freshman in college. I designed her a clipboard, pen/pencil holder, paperclip holder and custom frame...The end result was achieved, I believe.

Julie, your items are soon on their way--I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek! I truly had fun with your order.

The set total came to $40! *There was a $3 specialty paper fee...college paper is more expensive!

Great Christmas gifts...!

Personalized Pen/Pencil Holders

My wonderful mother-in-law sent me a HUGE order for pen/pencil holders. She wanted each one monogrammed with a single initial...and I think these will make a personal & wonderful gift for the residents. She manages high-end condos in South Florida. The order is for 50 and I have completed 15. You get funny looks when you buy bean cans by the dozens!!! ;0)

I love the animal print designs, but a second big "fave" is the damask print--last photo w/ the pink "e" and pink boa. As most of you know, I am a fan of pink!

These pen/pencil holders cost $8.00 each.

I am so honored that my mother-in-law chose me to design these gifts...I am having such a fun time designing & creating. BB has been one of my biggest cheerleaders...that means the world. Thank you. Your pen holders are being shipped this morning, BB.

Now, I had better get back to work.

Alyssa's Order

Small Pail $12.75-this pail almost had the complete works--just missing the photo

My sweet friend, Alyssa, ordered a pail for her sis's bday -- which is today. I hope she likes the way it turned out. I think it's sassy & fun.
