Father's Day Preview

Mother's Day may have just been last weekend, but as business owners, it's never too early to start planning ahead for the next holiday. Father's Day will be here before we know it and I'm determined to be ahead of the game this year!

Last year I had this beer mug available and this year I'm expanding the selection to pint glasses and pilsner glasses as well.

I've also relisted these Dad's Kitchen & Grill Master cutting boards, which are perfect for Father's Day.

Last year I designed some wood cards, but never got around to making samples and getting them listed in the shop...ugh! This year I'm on top of my game and have 3 cards made and photographed! I'm working on getting everything listed this week/weekend.

Have you started prepping your shop for Father's Day?

Have any other ideas for my shop?

Valentine's Day...Already?

I don't know about you, but didn't we just get done with Christmas! My gosh, I can't believe Valentine's Day is just around the corner! I relisted some of my wooden cards from last year and I've already sold several. Which told me I better get my butt in gear and get the rest of my items listed! Shoppers are on top of their game this year.

 From last year, I've relisted the Double Heart Card, Deer Card and Mustache Card...all of which are doing well again this year :)

And just last night I got a few more items listed like this Love Is...You and Me photo album. This can also be personalized.

I'm also working on a Valentine's Day DIY using some red acrylic and thought some red heart earrings and cuff links would make fun Valentine's Day accessories.

Are you ready for Valentine's Day? Are you still stuck in December like I am?

Happy Birthday to my Brother

I want to wish my brother a Happy 33rd Birthday today!

We went to lunch together on Friday and it was so nice to spend time together just the two of us :) My brother and I work different shifts and always seem to be busy on the weekends, so we don't get to see each other as much as I'd like. Our time together is always special :)

Here is the birthday card I made him:

I've made several of these lasered wood cards lately and I have SO many ideas for premade and custom cards to add to my shop! I have even thought a lot about trying to get them in local shops if I can find a pen or marker that will work well so people can sign their names. When ordered from my Etsy Shop, they will be able to have me engrave their special message or have the option of adding a photo like this one I made for my brother.

I really think I'm on to something here...what do you think? Would you send one of these or enjoy receiving one in the mail? I would really love to hear your thoughts :)

Happy Father's Day

Here's wishing my dad a Happy Father's Day :) I wish I were there to give him a big hug and tell him how much I love him! I guess a phone call will have to do for now. Here is the card I made my dad this year. I'm really loving these engraved wood photos! And I'm loving these wood cards as well! I hope to get them added to my shop soon in premade and custom versions!

I hope all the dads out there have a wonderful Father's Day!

Happy Mother's Day

I want to wish all the mothers out there Happy Mother's Day! To all those with kiddos or furbabies, I hope you have a very special day :) And I want to send out a special Happy Mother's Day to my mom! She really is THE BEST! She is always there for me, encourages me in everything I do and helps me to be a better person! Happy Mother's Day Mom :) And here is the card she got today! You knew it would be laser engraved, didn't you! I always try to send a special, handmade card each year and this year I wanted to try my hand with my laser engraver! I love the lasered photos!!!
