Doing the happy sales dance

It seems that whenever I start to get just a little down about having no sales in my shop, that's when a sale happens. I logged in last night to find that 2 of my Halloween cards had sold. Yay! Just when I was starting to think that maybe I was silly for having Halloween items in the shop in July. They are now winging their way across the country to a new home in Florida.

Hmm, get a little down, get a sale.....maybe I should be a little down all the time : )

Bye bye Monster Mash cards.

Look, even the monsters are doing the happy sales dance.

Productive evening

At work today an idea for a card popped into my head. I quickly became obsessed with the idea and couldn't wait to get home to try it. Well, alright, I just couldn't wait to leave work, period.

Anyway....

I got home, played with the kids for a while and then was finally able to get into the craft room to try out my idea. I ended up with both kids in there with me. My daughter wanted to make a card as well, which mainly consists of her gluing things down to a bigger sheet of paper (she's 4) and my son (he's 14 months), well, he had a huge amount of fun opening up several containers of Halloween foam stickers and throwing them all over the floor. But, it kept him entertained and allowed me to work.

Luckily, my idea worked and a new card design was born.


This is Francine, she's quite proud of her feathers.

I ended up making 4 of the birds tonight. I'm really proud of them. I'll take pics of the other 3 tomorrow and try to get them listed tomorrow as well.




I also listed a couple more Halloween cards. I have a few more to do still, including a Halloween birdie, Bertha. Not sure where the names come from, they just pop into my head when I'm making the birds.
