The Craft Show and Buttons to Show and a Giveaway too

It's been a crazy couple of weeks

well who is kidding who?

it's been one CRAZY year!

Hasn't this year just flown by?

Honestly I truly can not wrap my mind around how quickly this year went by

not sure if I was just really busy, or distracted this year

but what ever the case

I hope next year goes by at a bit more manageable rate.

Anywho~ I have a TUN to catch you all up on

and I hope to be filling my blog with more nonsense

throughout the next few weeks

Crafty Wonderland was AMAZING!

over 7500 people came and went

it was so overwhelming

I met a lot of really lovely people

spent way to much money

made a little too

but mostly just had a grand ol' time

It is crazy how much time goes into preparing for such an event

there's differently those who are seasoned venders and have a system

for me it was pure chaos

my poor house is in shambles

so I invited my folks over for dinner this weekend

nothing like the stress of knowing you have company coming

to get your house back to tip top shape

as soon as I get things looking like a home again

I'll share this years Christmas decorations and such

You will notice many many new items arriving in my shop

in the next few days, weeks, - month

I have been working on so many different new ideas

and really challenging myself to come up with new unique items

and every now and then facing my greatest fear

my PRINTER! ICK!

So one such new item to introduce is...

well I must first say that I am a very very terrible girl

I have quite an impulsive nature

of which I should be ashamd

well at-least when it coming to spending my money

so after playing with my friends button machine

I had to have my own!

A HUGE purchase

but my goodness is it addicting

and hopefully sometime in my life I will pay the silly thing off :)

So the first thing I've added to my shop are some really fun button mirrors

using items from my digital kits and also my hand drawn and colored illustrations

I've also made cute coordinating sets of 3-5 small buttons

that I will be adding to the shop just as soon as I get them photographed

I'm not sure if I ever shared this drawing of a little sailer outfit

it was suppose to be for the paper dolls I was working on

but as I never figured out how to really capitalize on selling the paper-dolls

I thought I might incorporate them into collage work or something else in the near future

As you can see I got really into making these.

I pretty much did these all in one day

as my machine arrived just in time for the craft show

Christmas is a time of giving

and because you are all such great bff

If you leave a comment sharing which button mirror is your favorite

you might just be lucky enough to be receiving it the mail very very soon!

I'll announce the winner Friday!

Thanks again for all your support!

I heart you all!
