Enclosure Cards

Enclosure cards make great gifts! I made these for all of the hostesses for my baby showers. Mom and I had so much wrapping them, and we did it differently for each shower. We got these little jars at Revival in Chattanooga, and the cards fit perfectly in them!

And for my next shower, we had to be a little more creative since there were 14 of them! The cards looked like they were in a little nest and it turned out really cute. We got a little carried away with the photoshoot, and mom brought the little chair in that we found at an antique store recently. How cute is it??

Let me know if you're interested in ordering cards. These would make great Christmas gifts or hostess gifts!!

And the Winner is...

And the Winner is...AMANDA WILBANKS!!!

Bringing the Art to the Cart

A good friend emailed me this incredible DIY blog yesterday, Centsational Girl, and I was hooked. I love DIY projects and have refinished and painted a lot of the furniture in our house, so of course, I fell in love with her ideas and her before and after pics. I love bargains and making something ugly beautiful again, so if you're like me, you must check this blog out.

On Centsational Girl I saw a link to Big Cartel – the simple shopping cart for artists. Don't I feel out-of-the-loop! I didn't know there was another ETSY-type of online site.

I could spend HOURS on this site, browsing through paper goods and other handmade items, but I need to get back to work. Maybe someday I can start my own line of papergoods for sale on sites like this...hmmm....really must get to work now. Thought I'd share this with you in case you wanted to waste enjoy some online retail therapy this morning. 

So, here are a few of my favorite paper good finds on Big Cartel...
