Winter Time....

As much as this saddens me to say... I won't be doing any shows on Saturday or Sunday this winter season.  You are looking at the coach for my son's basketball team, and since most of the games fall on weekend days, that's what I'll be busy doing.

On the other hand, in the evenings I can be mobile...call me with your ideas....

I hope you are enjoying every single day, I know I am.

Hi.
It's been such a long time since I've let you know what I've been up to.
Well.
It's been a lot.
A LOT.
--eloped -- moved --  made cards with kids at children's hosptial --had a booth at the crafty super market --worked on getting my house ready to sell  --made stuff --been on the hunt for some awesome items to re-purpose..(and just to let you know...I've totally scored)  --still haven't sold my house --had a semi-successful garage sale --made more stuff --and you get the drift....

BUT. not to bore you.
so..
This Saturday you should plan on coming on out to Northside for this super cool Art Event.
I will have a table...errrr...tent rather..
and a bunch of new cards...(which i've yet to take pictures of)
here is the 411 on the show..hope to see you there... indeed...yes.
Art Show this Saturday.

Here's the plan Stan...

With it being that March is coming to an end..I thought it would be a great idea to make a plan for 2010.

I’ve decided to pick a few key shows to do this year, and spend the rest of my time building up my etsy site, and working on a few other projects.

I don’t think that I’ll be doing the Hyde Park show this year due to a wedding that falls on the same weekend.

– Although I did pick 3 really great shows to do. Once I get confirmation, I will most certainly post the information.

Of course there is The Card of the Month Club to keep me busy as well. Every month I pick some sort of “inspiration” to repurpose into that months cards.

The cards are each designed, created, packaged then mailed to the card members in the first or second week of every month. Members get to enjoy one of a kind cards delivered to their doorsteps monthly…exciting

 – indeed.

gocco + 3 screens + 6 bulbs + ink = finished.

From this....

 to this....

and ta da.....

 

hi.

Happy New Year!
I've got some great new projects in the work.  I will let you know more about them after I get all of my ducks in a row.  In the meantime, I've added some new cards for sale in my Etsy site...
indeed.
