Wondering what I've been up to? Well, last week we had a craft show/sale at work, so I had been busy creating stuff for that. I also made my own little plexi fixture to display what I had for sale. Sorry the photos aren't very good.
I've also been having fun making these house-shaped ornaments this year. These are for some family members we'll be seeing tonight at a party.
And then there's also been a bit of baking. What have you been up to?
I still know very little about doing all of this . . .but . . .my shop is officially open now! So, go on--have a look-see! Tell me what you think!
I'm excited to be able to show you a sneak peek of some of what you'll find in my soon-to-be-open Etsy shop. My goal is to have it up by the end of the month, which means I have about a week to go! I just wanted to let you know what I've been up to. Stay tuned for the grand opening!
Hey guess what? The free project of the week for the Mixed-Media Group over at MyCraftivity is from Plexi Class! If you aren't a member of MyCraftivity yet, head on over and sign up--it's a great place to find creative inspiration and share what you're making with others. After you're signed up, if you go here, you can download this bracelet project from the book and try it yourself.
Good morning! The early bird gets the worm, or at least the first person to comment (and agree to play) gets the bracelet. This bracelet was fun to make and I am looking forward to playing around with some variations on it. Oh, and I almost forgot, the winner will also be getting a nifty extra surprise!
I know it's been a long time since I've posted a HIF project (thirty-three days! sheesh . . .) so if you aren't familiar with the rules, check them out here. And I'll try not to take so long before the next HIF! But for now . . . be the first to comment, and agree to play. Happy Saturday! XOXO
Ms. Kelly Snelling! Katey, shoot, I'm so sorry I made it tricky this time! Keep checking back; I'm sure it won't always be so hard! And Liz, well . . .you were sort of right. The Birch is my primary sign, but I've found that those primary signs rarely ever suit anyone too precisely, so I always stick with the secondary signs, which are more closely tied to your exact date of birth anyway (so they feel more personal) and that sign for me is the Fir. But I think I may have to come up with some sort of Second Place prize for you, since you did do your research! But Kelly, boy are you right on the money or what? My favorite food is definitely pizza and you were right about Nick Cage. He's been in some truly aweful movies, but I just adore him when he's in a more comedic or satirical role. And as for the movie . . .Moonstruck! (I love the soundtrack too!) Kelly, your earrings are on their way! Happy Tuesday everyone!
Finally! I have had a wee bit of time to make something new for a Heart It Forward. This time there's a bit of a twist though! I decided it was time to mix things up a bit, so for this giveaway there are two changes. The first is that if you are the lucky winner, you agree to keep one of these pairs of earrings for yourself, (and of course, heart it forward!) but the other pair you must agree to gift anonymously to anyone of your choice--friend or stranger. Sound fun? Okay, then the other thing that's a bit different, is instead of being just the first to comment, you must be the first to comment with a correct answer to any of these questions: What is the name of my favorite movie? What is my favorite food? What is my Celtic tree sign? or If I could have dinner with any of the following three actors, which one would I choose? a) George Clooney, b) Matt Damon or c) Nicholas Cage
Look what I got today--an advance copy of my new book, PlexiClass! How exciting! This book has a very cool cover. It has a plastic overlay with the title on it, and then a glossy cover underneath. I'm very happy with how it came out. Thanks Marissa for such a great design! And a huge thanks to Jessica--the best editor a girl could have.
The book should be in stores by next month, but you can preorder it, if you like. Yay!
And speaking of having fun with plexi, I taught two classes this past weekend, at Artiscape. I really had wonderful students in both classes who seemed to really enjoy being introduced to the magic of Plexiglas. Everyone was super nice and I am really fortunate to have had such great groups of people. If anyone who took a class is reading this, please feel free to comment here with any questions you might have and I promise to email you back as quickly as possible.
