It's CRUNCH time!

Yes, that's what I said it's now less than one month until the 2nd STJ Holiday Soiree and I am busy, busy! The majority of my pieces are completed with the exception of five. I am not sure I will get this other handful done, but we shall see.

Regardless, I do have to start tagging, pricing and inventorying what I have complete and get at least half of my pieces ready to ship to NJ next week.

I am in the midst of trying to take photos... completely forgot how long that takes... especially when I average about 6 to 10 pictures per item. That may sound super odd to many of you, but I like to shoot my pieces from every angle. The main reason for this "anal behaviour is because I am commissioned every now and then to make "past" pieces and without plenty of pictures to draw from I cannot always remember what the piece looked like from the sides or back.

In other news: 
This week I have been playing around with my Silhouette digital craft cutter again - this has resulted in some fairly nice sized logo stickers to apply to my shopping bags for use at shows.


















And I even went so far as to make some cat head hang tags - for those of you who may not know this cat head is part of my logo.
















 

Oh and STJ opens its doors tomorrow night at midnight (Eastern) time... there's a sneak peek of the two items I will have for sale this month pictured below. So please stop by if you're still up to see the "full" picture. 

Okay, that's all for now. Have a great weekend all! ~ Lori

Your stickers and hang tags came out great. I never heard of the Silhouette digital craft cutter. Where can purchase that item?

Hi Liz, thank you!

I am thinking you can probably buy them at Michael's or any craft or scrap booking supply store in the US.
I know they have them on eBay and online as well.

BUT if you are seriously entertaining the idea of getting one they are releasing their newest version a Silhouette Cameo in October. It will cut 12.0" wide pieces of paper vs. the current 8.5" width.

Welcome to my blog

Well here goes, seems like all the EHAG's are doing blogs today, so I thought I'd give it a try.
Hopefully, I will think of something witty or at the very least interesting to post here in the next while.... please stay tuned!
