Hoppy Easter Greeting Card

My new Easter greeting card - I cut out the bunny by hand.

Vintage Look Mother's Day Cards

I recently found a Stock Photo Catalog with some great vintage black and white photos. I picked out two kitchen scenes and hand colored them to use for Mother's Day greeting cards. Here's how they turned out:




Both are now available for sale at Susan's Greetings for $2.50 each.

New Mother's Day Card!

I listed my first handmade Mother's Day card today at Susan's Greetings on Etsy. It's an elegant square card in a gold and white pattern that I printed with the words Happy Mother's Day in script font.

More cards coming soon! And as always, free shipping on all single greeting cards when purchased with another item!

Total Alchemy Success!

I've won several bids on Etsy's Alchemy page, where customers put out requests for custom items to the Etsy community. But recently I posted my own request for the first time and I am super thrilled with the results!

I've really been wanting a necklace to go with these great earrings I bought from BarbarellaBeadworks in 2007. I wear them all the time but I never saw anything on Etsy that would go with them.



Earlier this month I wrote up my first request, not sure what to expect. I got more than a dozen bids from Etsy sellers to make me a matching necklace and once I saw MeridianStudio's site I knew she would do a fantastic job.

Here's the necklace I received in the mail Thursday - it's absolutely perfect! Thanks so much MeridianStudio! This necklace was just what I was looking for - better than I could have expected!

Congratulations to Baby!

My friend Casey announced she and her husband Mike are expecting their first baby and I'm so excited she is joining the mommy club. Now I'll be waiting (not so) patiently to find out whether I'll be making her lots of cards in pink or blue.
