its been awhile...but here are some new things!

its been so long since i last posted! so many things going on around here! i will get to that in my next post, i dont have much time right now!

anyway, i added these 3 things to my shop! im kind of surprised that the bird journal hasnt sold yet, but thats okay- it's only been like 6 days!

coptic bound journal, featuring the birds you all seem to love!

96 pages of 80 lb drawing paper.

new bird tags! with rounded edges!!!
and i JUST posted these- tree cards printed with speedball ink.
this weekend i went to michigan and LOVED it there. i have a new place i want

to move to, haha.

mushroooooms

not as fun as my lantern cards, but it will do! i just posted them in my shop along with some stationery with a mushroom...and holy cow it sold fast! i think it sold about 10 minutes after i edited it! nice!

hmm...whats next in the world of cards? well i dont know. im kind of stuck on that one- there are so many things i want to do, ya know? hmmmmm. i guess you'll just have to wait and see!

sorry about the lack of journals, lately ive been in a card mood. i havent sold many journals lately on etsy. when i was selling them quicker i loved making them, because i knew other people must have liked them if they bought them! but now more people are buying cards so ive been focusing more on them. less time consuming too. whew, i needed a break from those journals for a minute (just a minute though, i promise!) because they take me about 3-5 hours each. too long for right now. but im sure i will get back to binding in about a week or so, i will start to miss it soon!

joe is going to be home in about....40 hours! im so excited- i cant wait!!! when he gets home i think we should go on a picnic and then to the greyhound track. that would be fun! please dont rain, sky!

anyway, ive been on this damn computer for about 3 hours now...tooooo long. thanks for stopping by! i LOVE to see new comments on here, thanks for everyone's kind words!

new cards!

new greeting cards in my shop!

my newest stamp- lanterns! i am SOO happy with the way these ones turned out!

im working on some more designs real soon too. i didnt make banana bread tonight like i said i was going to because i was too busy making these! tomorrow morning for sure though.

...

joe is out of town on a business trip for 6 whole days. im really sad about this, even though everybody says "6 days is nothing" i find myself very empty without him here. its such a strange feeling, being in the apartment alone. im not exactly bored since i never run out of things to do, but its just so lonely without him here. i dont like it. i still have 4 nights and 4 days to go without him. last night was the first night alone, i didnt sleep very well- i kept waking up. didnt help that it was storming, im not a sound sleeper in the least.

at any rate...

i just got home from the craft store. i bought some ink pads and silk flowers for my wedding bouquet. tonight im going to do some crafting, perhaps carve a new stamp, and make chocolate chip banana bread. joe doesnt like bananas so i bought a bunch a week ago just so i could have unripe ones when he was gone so i could make it. i could make it when he was here, but i figured that it would add some excitement to my week without him.

anne in sweden posted some lovely pictures of the newest journal she bought from me- check them out!

okay well im off to craft and wait for joe to call me. then its baking time. then sleep, i hope.

hot hot hot

my wisdom teeth are hurting me a lot today. ugh so much pressure! i cant wait till i get them out...although it will be awhile till then. hmph.

my shop has been slow lately. i heard that all of etsy has been slow, but still- i wish it would pick up. it will soon, im sure.

eep!

i love this haircut, although im not sure i could pull it off...ive been wanting to TRY short hair for awhile now. perhaps after the wedding? i mean, everyone says i look like my mom. my mom has short hair. my mom looks good with short hair...do you feel a pattern? hmmmmmm. i dont know though.

help me find one!

hello all!

does anybody know where i can buy a chartpak colorless blender pen?

i've searched google and also froogle, but froogle didnt have a single result!

any info would be great. i looked at dick blick and a few drafting places but they dont have them either!

alrighty, i have to say that this is one of my favorites so far...i loved trees for one and i love the way it all came together.

on another note- first blogger was underlining everything i typed. now its double spacing everytime i press "enter"

see?

its retarded. another retarded thing is that i cant use gmail at my parents house because the enter button doesnt work...i mean it doesnt go to the next line like it should and its a real pain in the ass. but whatever, i like my computer better anyway.

my journals are famous!

so check this out, anne added her new goodies that she bought from me to her photo blog- you should go see them! its so cool to see my stuff pictured on somebody elses place!
