Custom Ooooommmmm....

(Cafe Press & Gaiam custom yoga mats...so much fun...)

Happy Monday! Found this last week & have got to share. I have been having so much fun with it. Make your own custom yoga mat with Gaiam & Cafe Press. So for I have only decided on 1, but have been playing with them for hours. I could have 10. Voila...my mat of Zen...


Choose from their images or upload your own. Holiday shopping is coming soon! Put this one on your list for the yogi in your life! Hint, hint, Mr. B...

Merry, Happy, Joy & Love

Hi again, blog readers! Remember the other day when I said I had more to share? Well, here I am, coming through on that promise.

Last Spring I participated in the Minted.com 2010 Holiday Challenge, which I posted about on this blog. Here. And here. And here. They didn't win any awards this time around, sadly. I mean, there were only 1300 plus designs! Gees... :) Anywho, my designs did get some great votes & positive feedback.

So!! Here they are, now available for release on my Etsy shop.

Peace, Hope, Joy in Green - listed on my Etsy shop

Peace, Hope, Joy also comes in Red, above & Blue, below

Peace, Hope, Joy is 5 x 7 & features one large photo. The message is customizable (see other colors for examples). Angel Noel (below) is 4 x 9.25, fits in a long rectangular no. 10 envelope & features 5 of your photos. Great for a family montage!

Isn't the angel cute? I drew her!

You can also get these as a PDF or jpeg that you can print at home or take to the printer of your choice. Check out those listings here for Peace, Hope, Joy or here for Angel Noel, on my Etsy shop.

I have 2 holiday promotions coming up! Stay tuned!!!

New stuff!

Hello, Blogspot! Oh, how the time has passed since I last posted...{sigh}. But all has not been for naught! I have been working on new things (and apparently reading too much Jane Austen at night) that I would love to share with you thus...I mean here. :)

First, I have been doing lots of experimenting lately with new designs. During a recent fulfillment of an order (thanks angruth1!) I made the package below. As soon as I can figure out the additional pricing, I'll start selling this on my Etsy shop - Stars of Thank You with stamped envelope liners.

(Look for these here)

It's amazing what you can do with a stamp pad & some painters tape! In addition, I have long been experimenting with colored envelopes & am finally finding ways to use them in my existing designs to bring an extra punch of color & panache. Add the envelope liner & VIOLA! We have a fun new stationery set just in time for the holiday season. I think I'll do another one in red...

Speaking of the holiday season...more news on that coming up. More new products and a fun promotion...stay tuned!
