Engraved Photo Ornaments

I've been having so much fun making my Engraved Photo Ornaments! Photos are my favorite thing to engrave...I love watching them while they laser :) And having such cute subject to work with makes it even more enjoyable :)

Here are some of the recent ornaments I've made...just look at these faces!

I bet you can tell why I love engraving these so much :)

Wordless Wednesday - Nip Kitty

Marley's Nursery Frame

On Sunday I attended one of my best friend's baby showers. I'm so excited for her and wanted to make her a super special gift for her baby girl's nursery :) You knew I wouldn't get her a store bought gift, right!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It took me a while to decide what to make her since it had to be special...and personalized. I'll be making her scrapbooks later, but wanted her to have something for the shower. Here's what I came up with.

She's not in to pink, so I used a light yellow and grey, which matches the nursery colors. And I told her we can paint the frame as well, but I wanted her to choose the color for that. I'm so glad she loved it!!!

I may have to add something similar to my Etsy Shop...what do you think?

First Wholesale Order

Last week I told you about two of my big orders I've had lately (coasters and girl scout albums). I also recently had my first true wholesale order!!! I sold 20 Sorority Albums to a gift shop in Indiana.

I sent a sample album (shown above) and we made a few changes making the patterned paper and ribbons lighter and leaving off the stickers in the final albums. The gift shop owner decided since each girl has different taste, that leaving the stickers out would work better. Below is one of the final albums.

I would love to do more wholesale orders and this order made me realize that I need to get all my prices down on paper and have everything ready for the next big order :)

Treasury Time

Last week I got busy with my Open House and forgot to get my weekly treasuries posted! I really like the format of thanking each treasury curator, but I'll have to get back to that format next week. In the last two weeks, I've been included in 20 treasuries! I think that's a new record for me :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A big thanks to each curator!!!

Please help me thank my curators by clicking on the treasuries that you like and giving them some loving :)

Girl Scout Albums

On Tuesday I told you about my large coaster order...today I'm excited to tell you about my large order for Custom Girl Scout Albums!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was contacted by a troop leader in New York to make 12 albums for her Daisy Troop. She thought having a flower on the album would be a cute idea as well :) Here they are!

Each album has a personalized first page. They have the Girl Scout Promise, the Girl Scout Law and each girl's name and the years they were with the troop. What a fun idea!!!

They are decorated with fun Girl Scout themed embellishments too! I loved searching all the craft stores for these fun stickers!

I can't wait for the girls to get their books and fill them with photos!
