Hello my Lovelies!
Gosh, how does time get away from us so easily?
I know how......
I've found that opening another shop is exciting, but tremendously time consuming. Of course, to be fair, I'm not doing a great job of dividing my time wisely. I want to make sure there's lots of goodies to peruse on the "shelves" so I get into that mental game of, "Just one more and I'll stop and work on something else" with myself.....next thing I know it's 1am!
I did take a couple days off over the weekend to go to the Scrapbook Expo and had a craft night with some girlfriends. While they scrapped, I made more packaging materials for my own store....y'know, the stuff you need, but don't make the time for because you have more pressing things to attend to? *sigh*
Story of our lives, eh? Haha!
Well, it didn't take me all night to make those things, luckily, so I was able to make a couple new coffee cozies while we chatted.
I just barely finished putting the final touches on them today. (Hooray! I can cross something off my list!)
Here's my first ever butterfly cozy. I thought it fitting that butterflies go through a major transformation....sorta like I do after my cup of joe in the morning ;P
So, on a cozy they went....

And another floral. Nothing like flowers to brighten your day :)
Still on my list are:
- More Word of the Year Art
- Art Print Jewelry!
- Coloring my hair (be glad you can't see my scary roots right now!)
But my next post will be something truly special! I can't wait to share how I was able to give my Husband an awesome gift last Christmas!
I'll be back soon to tell you all about it :)
Hope you are doing a better job than I am keeping on task,
Pencil in a hug from me,

ReplyDeleteLovely to see what you are up to my friend. I love your new shop too, the name is awesome and so are the fantastic items. Yay! How do you keep up? I think I need to work on some time management. :) Big hugs to you and <3 your fabulous art. Have a happy week. I look forward to hearing about your gift.
ReplyDeleteNope definitely not doing a better job than you at multitasking hehe! I haven't posted in two weeks! Or commented! Neglecting the blogs, I deserve a slap on the wrist.
