Get your cards...

Christmas is fast approaching...do you have your Christmas cards yet? If you take a look around in my shop, you might find the cards that you want! I have several listed, and plan on listing more in the next week.

I am going to be seeing family for Thanksgiving this week! Lots of packing to be done...the only thing worse than that is the unpacking! ;) I will still be keeping my shop open though since cards are reletively easy to take along!

Also, don't forget your table...these place cards are really pretty for your Christmas get together. I am willing to make custom orders. I just Thanksgiving place cards for a customer who wanted some phrases about each family member attatched to each of the place cards...it was a wonderful idea, and they turned out beautiful!

Have a wonderful week!

What do you think?

I was told 2 times in the last couple of days that I should sell some of my photos. While I really appreciate the compliments, I have a hard time thinking that my photos are good enough for that! Especially after seeing some of the wonderful and talented photographers on Etsy!

At the same time, I am wondering if there really is a market for my photos. At this time, I am going to get some of the printed up at a quality place, and see how they turn out. I do love to take photos, it's actually on my mind a lot! And I really hate it when I don't take my camera along with me...it's those times when my "photographer's eye" is working over time!

So, give me your opinion, if you would. Should I?

How do you shop?

When you are shopping online, do you use Ebates? My sister actually got me signed up, and it actually saves you money! Every once in awhile you will get a check in the mail!

First, sign up.
Then, any time you are going to purchase something online, take a look to see if that store is on Ebates.
When you click on the store you are shopping at, you will get a percentage of your total given back to you!

It's pretty simple! Almost like getting money for free.

There are a few sites that are running a holiday special so that you will get a higher percentage back. I know I'm loving it! (And I am really mad when I forget, like that camera my sister had me buy for her...arg!) Most of the stores are from 2-6 percent, but there are some on there for 10 and over!

Christmas Cards

I am making all my Christmas cards this year again. Last year I did it myself, and even though it was a lot of work, I decided that it was worth it! I don't know, maybe I am crazy, or maybe I like to be rushed around the holidays? Who knows! I do have good intentions to get them done early! Right now, the only problem that I am having is finding envelopes that will fit. If I order from the internet, will they make it in a week? (We are heading up to see family next week Monday.) Hopefully so!

I took some photos of the process:

Favorite Friday

This week's favorite is a shop that I have bought a few things from. MadisonReeceDesigns has a lovely shop filled with some really pretty pendants! Maybe I really like her shop because she shares the same love of paper as I do!;) She is wonderful to work with, and like it says in her profile, she is willing to do any type of customized pendant. Her pendants would also make wonderful Christmas gifts! If you would like, take a peek at her blog also.

New, New, New!

How are your shops doing for the holidays? Have you gotten stocked up...changed your photos if necessary...really spruced up your shop? I am going through some of that process. Not an easy task! At least for my shop!

I just listed some more place cards for Christmas!

I also changed my avatar to another little birdie! This set of cards is really fun and I love the colors of them!

I've been Featured!

It's not that much, but still kinda cool to see my item! Take a look:
