First of all, I want to thank each of you for making my fall 2010 a HUGE success! I would love to have been able to be present at your homes when the gifts were opened and been able to hear all of the comments about the Everyday Alphabet Pics. I enjoyed so much being able to help you give a gift that was different and that would be treasured for many years to come.
I sort of took January off to recuperate and revamp some things and now I'm ready to start getting those parties and events scheduled. Just as a reminder, I do home parties, schools, craft fairs, offices and just about anywhere else you want me to be. I also would love to start doing some fund raisers - so let me know if that would be something you would be interested in for your school or charity. I think it would be a huge success and I would be able to give a fairly decent percentage of sales to the cause.
One of the things I am most excited about is that you can now order from my blog! It goes through Paypal for payment so it is very secure. This is something I've done in the interim until I can get the kind of website that I want. I've tested it and it worked very well. It is not as easy or streamlined as a website would be but it is definitely workable. You have to look at the letter pages to choose your letters and then go back to the Clip 'n Stick, Custom, or Inspirations Tiles page to fill in what letters you want. I am very excited about this new feature!
Speaking of Inspirations Tiles.......that is a brand new product that I am going to be carrying. Right now, I am taking orders and will hopefully have my first order in about 4-6 weeks. There is an interesting story behind these. I had seen these at Atlanta Market last July and have been searching for a manufacturer online with no luck. With fall being so busy, I really had not had much time to look recently. Well, a couple of weeks ago, a man from Minneapolis called me and said he had found my alphabet letter blog and had a product that he makes for people that do this kind of photography and wondered if I would be interested in having my letters put on this product. When he told me what it was I was so excited and told him YES! that I had been looking for this exact thing! These tiles are perfect for a desk, bookshelf, dresser and any other small place. Here is a sample:
These letters are not from my collection so don't try to order these. On my Inspirations Tiles page I have the letters you can choose from for the tiles. I am thrilled to be able to offer these as part of my product line!
I have a couple of new Inspirational Prints also. My first with color!
And a great one for Valentine's Day!! (I know it's a little late, but it could also be for an anniversary!)
I am continually looking for new products to add to keep things fresh and fun!
My first craft fair of the year will be at Trinity Marketplace at Trinity United Methodist Church on Airport Rd. The dates are March 4th & 5th! This is a fun show and has great products represented. I will have some things for Mother's Day and graduation so be sure to stop by!
I am looking forward to meeting lots of new people this year and helping fulfill your gift-giving needs. Please share this post with your email list, FB friends and anyone else you would like! And visit often!! Google likes that!
That's it for now!
