Hey folks, guess what!  I'm currently the featured artist on Cafe Handmade.  How cool is that?  You can click the link or the lovely little button to read my interview and see a smattering of my goods amidst the lovely environment of Cafe Handmade (have I mentioned that I love their design?).  While you're there, if you'd be so kind as to click the little "vote" button at the bottom of the page and/or leave a comment, it would be very much appreciated!  And if you haven't already perused the rest of the lovely site, you really should.  It's wonderful - and I really need to spend more time there myself...

In the meantime, however, I've got an order to finish up and some new goodies to play with.  So off I go!  Have a great day, everyone! 
                                                                                           
 

Monday Motivator: Features

It's been a while since I wrote a Monday Motivator post because, to be perfectly honest, my motivation was a bit lacking.  Though I do my best to stay positive and motivated, there are still times when I just feel... blah.  I'm sure you've all had a case of The Blahs before, right?

Well, I've found two things that never fail to beat The Blahs in no time flat:  new ideas and... features!  Things you can't control, alas, but they sure do work.  And I've been lucky enough lately to get a good dose of both. 

I already mentioned in my last post the rash of new ideas I've had and the revamp that's underway (and coming along quite nicely, I might add), so I shan't say anymore about that.  But let's talk about features!

I'm on a roll!  I already mentioned my interview on the WWES blog that was posted Thursday, right?  Well, Friday I got a nice little Facebook feature - Digicute Printables chose one of my printable business card designs as her Featured Item of the Day.  And then, just this morning, I received a lovely message informing me that I'd made it into the Top Handmade Creations of the Week!  How cool is that?

This week's already off to a great start!  I've got a lot to do but I'm super-excited about all of it.  Bye-bye Blahs! 

How about you, readers?  What's motivating you this week?

Busy Day Update

Whew.  It's been a busy couple of days.  I got off to a late start yesterday, but then I spent the rest of the day beading and crocheting and taking pictures and editing pictures... I totally forgot about my blog post. And then today I got up and took some more pictures, did some more editing, got my donation to Hearts for Haiti sent in... I was thinking I would write up today's post after lunch. But while I was eating, my email notifier made its little noise at me, I bounced over to check it, and huzzah! A sale!

So instead of working on my blog post, I've been working on a custom banner order. And as I've been working so hard, I thought I'd be a bit lazy and just post something short. And all about me. =P

Besides, I wanted to let my lovely readers know that I'm running a special on this baby...



which is currently featured on the Craftomania Toolbar I told you about in my last post AND on The T-shirt Lady's blog! About which I am ten kinds of excited. My very first blog feature! Yay!

But I digress. To celebrate, I've reduced the price and, for the rest of the week, shipping is free! So if you've been eyeballing this one, now is the time to grab it!

Me? I'm off to work some new items that shall soon be gracing the shop! See you tomorrow!
