One Year With My Laser

One year ago today, my amazing, life-changing laser engraver was delivered! I can't believe it's really been a year, but after looking back at all the amazing things I've made I can see how wonderful of an investment this was! This little machine really made the dream of owning my own business and working full-time from home a real possibility! 2012 is my year to prove to myself that I can do this! My main goal for the year is to get all of our finances in line for me to run Memories for Life full-time!

I thought it would be fun to look back on the last year at some of the projects I made. Some made it to my shop, some were just for fun, some need more work and some are still to be added! Have fun watching my slideshow :)

What was your biggest event in 2011? What are your big plans/goals for 2012?

Thanks on Thursday

In the last couple weeks, I've been featured 3 times! So today I'd like to give thanks to the wonderful blogs that featured me and my work :)

Last Friday I was featured on my team blog Blogging Business Artisans. This is a fun feature we do on all our team members where we answer 7 questions about ourselves and our work. Please check it out HERE and see the other features there as well :)

I was also a guest blogger on our team blog on Monday. I blogged about Preparing for a Craft Show. This will be a two part series with lots of craft show tips!

Cyber Monday began in 2005 after online retailers started to see a trend that the Monday after Thanksgiving showed greater sales than any other shopping day of the year. Coined by the National Retail Federation, Cyber Monday has become a day known for great deals and great shopping! This year is no different :)

Here is one of the wonderful items you will find in my SALE Section:

SALE Summer Vacation Scrapbook Photo Album

New Colors!!!

I've had fun working on lots of projects this weekend :) One that I'm really excited about is my Family Favorites Recipe Books...they are now available in 3 colors!!! I had them in pink before, but have since added green and blue!

These would make great Christmas gifts! With such a great price, you could give one to everyone in the office, make them a stocking stuffer, add them to a gift basket...the possibilities are endless!

If you're looking for another color...just let me know. I love custom orders and can make these in any color you would like :)
