Sunday Stroll : Including my First Sponsorship

Its been a funny old week.
Lots of comings and goings, we had an encounter with another car, a bust water pipe, a treasury that reached number one on the listing page and my first sponsorship.


Yes that's right I am now an official sponsor of a lovely blog called The Elephants Trunk.... ever since I found Lauren and her blog I have been contemplating becoming a sponsor...

Today I took the Elephant by the trunk and just did it.

I really recommend Lauren's blog it is full of lots of stuff to do ... she has some wonderful guest posts and I just know you guys would really enjoy it... she is also an Etsy shop owner

Also this week I have finished another collection ..... No really name for this collection It was more a theme that I had in mind.... a theme of sepia ..... as sepia is something I relate to as old...and we all know I love anything older than me .....

So here we have my latest collection... and if any of you can think of a name for it ...I would love to hear from you ...

Well that's my week in a nutshell.... how was your week...? anything interesting happen?

I'm wondering what the week to come will bring .... thinking good vibes !!

Valentines Day

 Being a merchant means being on step ahead of yourself.....
planning in advance and being organized ... something which I use to be fairly good at ..but it would seem I have gotten out of the habit just a little.

So with a swift kick up the backside I have gotten my acted into gear.

I produced my valentines range and made them into mini prints.
Valentines day isn't just for lovers its for that person in your life that means a lot to you

Like your mother,father,sister,brother,daughter and son

The mini prints are ideal as they say I love you your special to me and then that person has a keepsake that they can fame... they come in a set ... and two of the sets are printed in textured METALLIC Linen Textured paper.

So not just one person can benefit a few special people in you life can.
Here is a little taste of what they look like ....

 each set ranges from $12 to $15 .... and they are in my shop now

Can I just say I have never got this excited over a New Year ... day 3 and I woke up to another sale in my shop... Now that's worth getting up for ... 
That makes my two sales this week and its only Monday .... Got to LOVE IT

My hope, dreams and aspirations are beginning to fall into place... 

Last night I began working on a few new collections...

I love new collections I find really joy and peace when I come up with new ideas... and when I am in that place things move so quickly and I produce faster than if I'm in that stuck what am I doing place

Still stuck on the card idea, if I product a card is it Handmade... yes its my photo on the front but I didn't make the card... so this idea is a bit puzzling right now not sure what to think, but that's ok I'm sure at some point Ill find the answer that sits right with me.

So 2011 I am Loving you right now ....
