Current Projects

We always have a couple different projects going on at one time depending on what interests us and the time of year. Like most people, Fall through Christmas time is the busiest time of year for us not only because of the holidays, but it seems everyone in our family has a birthday. O, and we need to make cards for them and O, then there are the Christmas cards to make for everyone and their mother. Every year, we always try to start making our Christmas cards around June or July because the amount of cards we send out and the detail we put into the cards. And remember, these are just the cards we send out to family, friends, co-workers, ect. Not the cards we are selling. Minus this year, this time of year is usually our slowest as well. We usually make around 30+ cards depending on how much time we give ourselves and our level of creativity. Last year, we admit was a bad year for creativity. It just was not happening in large dosages. Now this year, we are ready to hit the ground running. We just have to make time and we are ready to go!


Another project we are working on is our 'secret project'. We have been hinting about this project on our Facebook page. I'm sure if you look at the pictures and (hint) look at previous cards we have made, you will figure out what we are making. And the good news, these cards are for our Etsy shop!


Speaking of selling cards, we are getting some of our cards ready to sell at local shops in our area!! People keep asking us if we have our cards in stores and hopefully sometime this summer the answer will be YES! When we have all the details worked out, we will be sure to tell the world. Yes, we are that excited about it.


Lastly, selling cards is great, but giving them away is even better. We started making our cards to just give to people we like, love, care about. In fact we loved it so much that we didn't want to sell our cards initially. So in the spirit of keeping to our roots, we are working on a special set of cards to give away to a couple local charities that have asked for them. One of these sets is called the 'tea pot' project.We also hope to finish these cards sometime this summer and will definitely be sharing them here on why this set is worth mentioning.


As you can tell, we are busy busy busy. But in a very good and exciting way. We will keep everyone posted as projects are finished and new ones are added.
