Friday Features - Harley Turns 7

Today is my baby's birthday...he's turning 7 already! I can't believe it was that long ago that we brought home our adorable ball of fur!

Here he is the day we brought him home...

And here he is today!

He's such a happy dog and makes us happy everyday :) I mean, look at that face, how could he not :)

So today's features are for my Harley!

Keeping Those Goals

Every year I set goals for my self and my business. I like to keep regular tabs on my goals and I'm so happy with how this year is starting and where I am with my goals! Today I just wanted to share a few goals I'm especially proud of.

New Card and Invitation Designs

I set the goal to add 5 new Wood Greeting Cards and 5 New Wedding Invitations to my shop in 2013. Already this year I've added two of each style!

Mustache Card

My Mustache Valentine did especially well which makes me SO happy!

Chevron Invitation

I just added a Chevron Invitation as well as an Ampersand Invitation and both have gotten some views and favorites!

List Jewelry Inventory

"Diamond" Earrings

 I've also been slowly adding my jewelry inventory. I still have SO much to add, but finding time to photograph/edit everything and write all the listings is taking longer than I'd hoped. I'm still happy with the progress I've made so far :)

Tax Info Up-to-Date

One of my biggest accomplishments...my cost log is up-to-date! I told myself that this year I want it updated at the end of each month. Last year I let it slide for 6 months and that was not fun! I've also been keeping better track of my mileage log as well. I know we're only a month in, but I'm happy I'm up-to-date so far :)

Okay, now don't ask me how I'm coming along on the cleaning and organizing...lol!

Wordless Wednesday - Pink Sunrise

No photo editing...it's was really this brilliant!

In a Pretty Box

Last week I blogged about a great company that delivers handmade goodies to your door every month. I was so excited when I found out there is another awesome company offering handmade monthly goodies...and I got to see first hand how exciting it is to receive such a package!

I was the winner of In a Pretty Box's blog giveaway! And I got to see just how cool their monthly subscriptions are by receiving one of their boxes. The minute I opened the box I was giddy with excitement over the wonderful handmade contents.

 First came the Letterpress Bird Notepad from Two Hand Design. As many of my readers know, I'm a huge list maker and go through notebooks like crazy. So this little guy has already been put to use :)

Next up was Honey Lip Butter from Love Your Body Essentials. With this dry, chilly weather, I can't get enough lip balm. This little guy is sitting on my computer desk ready to be used all day :)

Last, but certainly not least was this 2013 Pocket Calendar from In the Clear. I love the hand drawn dates and they're printed on really professional paper. This little guy is also on my computer desk for quick date reference.

 Thank you so much to the team at In a Pretty Box for this awesome haul of handmade goodness! If you'd like to receive handmade goodies right to your door every month, check out In a Pretty Box's subscription options. There's something for everyone!

Friday Features - Chevron Crazy

If you read yesterday's post about my new technique and designs, you know I'm a fan of chevron. I've loved this pattern since it became popular last year and I love it in every color! It's such a fun design and works well for both young and old alike :) It didn't take me long to find great chevron finds on Etsy. Take a look at this week's favorites...
