The T-Shirt Memory Blankets Have Been Featured!

I woke up to a nice surprise on my blog reading feed this morning! 

I have been featured on The Alternative Consumer!

I had never visited the site before, but found their features a great read. They feature different items from all over the internet and world during the day. I am very honored to be on their site and thank them for featuring  our T-Shirt Memory Blankets.

For those who are interested in getting one made, we are booked for Christmas, but would be happy to add you to the list for after the holidays! We have been very busy with requests. Blankets come in 4 sizes at different price points.

Here is the latest feedback we received from a kind customer, who also attached a photo!

"This quilt is absolutely fabulous ! I had it done in Harley Davidson Tshirts , and it turned out so much better than I could even imagine. It's made very well and well worth the money ! If you are even thinking of doing this , don't hesitate !"

You can check out the blankets we make custom on my ETSY site!

Thanks for reading and catching up with me!

Happy 4th Of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! Boy has it been a busy week. I have several Crayon orders come in that I have been working on. I am also putting up new paintings in my shop and coming out with an awesome new shirt!

Today I want to share some links where I have been featured or noticed. Also, the new crafting challenge has come out for SC Johnson's Clean Home Journal in which I am the featured Crafting Expert of the Month!

This month's theme is Eye Candy. On the site, I teach viewers how to make a clutch and wallet using candy wrappers and packaging tape! Sounds odd, but it is very cool!

Check it out for a fun craft to make. I would appreciate any comments you post on the site or any ratings you could give me ( 5 Houses is the best, 1 is the worst). 

You can also submit your own projects based on the theme in a contest. Two etsians have won in the past 2 months, so you could be next!

I was also in the recent May issue of Etsy Press Club for Clean Home Journal!

I will have more articles and fun things to share this week plus an interview with Etsian PaintedHorse, who creates wonderful bracelets and jewelry!

Be safe tonight and Happy 4th!

I think I am Going to Go Crazy..........

This week has been crazy in the way or new customers. It is weird how business is because in order for me to sell more, I have to raise my prices. I had recently posted some new crayon designs. Usually my crayons are hot sellers, but I have not spent as much time promoting my shop and products with so many things going on  in my life and three separate projects that need to also be completed this weekend.  The good news is that I completed my first THREE wholesale transactions this week!!!

These orders were HUGE compared to what I normally create at a time. I am sure I have been breathing in a ton of wax fumes (but the crayons are non toxic, so I should be safe right) and that will take its toll in about 40 years. I am almost complete with all three except for packaging, labeling and shipping. The only thing I do not have complete are the Rainbow Butterfly Crayons(see picture from previous entry) because they are so slow and time consuming to make! THEY ARE DRIVING ME NUTS! These large crayons are the coolest ever, but I have to make them one at a time. I have 10 out of 60 to make. I think after these orders, I will not wholesale those again....

In other news, the book I am creating about ACEO Art and Artists is coming along great. I have recently written a grant that will provide copies of Create. Collect. Trade. to all of 3rd grade at both schools (about 110 copies). Please wish me luck in getting this grant because it would mean so much for myself, the students, the artists in the book, and ACEO art in general. If you would like to make a $5.00 donation or donate a whole copy of the book for $23.00 (and get a dedication/donor label for the book) please visit The Official Book Blog for Create. Collect. Trade.

I was also featured in a blog this past week. Elektrajewelry blogged about my shop and my crayons, saying some wonderful things about my products and some of the services and items I sell/offer.

Well... I am hoping things will slow down for a bit, so I can catch up with life! Hopefully I will have more time to blog now! Check back for more updates!
