K...got lots to do...have a great Sunday!

I GOT ACCEPTED!

I got accepted to my first crafts show! The Rock, Paper, Scissors Show is part of the Troika Music Festival, held in Durham, NC. The show will be on November 7th from 12p-4p so I have a little bit of time to prepare. I've never sold my stuff in person before and I'm so nervous! Thankfully, I've gotten LOTS of great tips from veteran craft show sellers in the Etsy Forums. I've printed a checklist based on the info I got from various threads and it is LONG! LOL I even have a banner - it's so pretty :) I got it for free from VistaPrint a few weeks back (gotta love the free stuff!) and I'm excited to put it to use. Ack! I'm so nervous!

Ok, moving on...

We went to a Fall Festival at one of the local churches yesterday. The kids had so much fun! Ethan & Ava got their first pony ride, their faces painted, made spin art, went on a hay ride - FUN FUN FUN!





I got one other layout done with my October LP Featured Kit and a little diorama. I got some other layouts done too but they're for my Crop Challenges so I can't show them yet :) I hope to see you at the LP Online Crop this FRIDAY - SUNDAY!! They're really so much fun. The members there are the sweetest, most supportive ever. Love them. So, stop by and join the fun!



I think that's all the excitement I have to share for now. Have a wonderful Sunday night! See ya soon :)

OCTOBER

I went with Ethan's class to the local firehouse last Thursday. We had so much fun! I made sure to bring my camera with me, of course. Except I left it in the car :( BAD MOMMY! BAD SCRAPPER! I did take some pics with my cell phone. I know, that doesn't make it ok. :P

I got my LPSC October kits on Friday - OH. MY. GA. They are so beautiful!! Thank you, Von, for putting together the best kits EVER. xoxoxoxo So after sniffing them and fondling them a little, I got to working. I've used my card kit and some of the featured kit so far. So much more to do yet!
















All of the cards shown here can be found in my etsy shop!

JUST A QUICK POST

Just wanted to say HI! I've been a busy little bee this last week. I agreed to consign with a shop in California, met with a local shop whose owner also wants to carry my cards and sent out a bunch of postcards to local businesses letting them know I'm willing to consign/wholesale. I'm so happy with the way things are going for WhimsyPics right now. I've been approached by so many people lately and sales are starting to pick up. I'm so thankful.

I wanted to show you what I did with my kits and some random things I've been working on. Also, don't forget the LP CROP is October 23-25! It's always so much fun!!













You can see more in my etsy shop!

LAZY SATURDAY

I got through two of my LPSC Kits! Yay me :) The vintage inspired graphic45 papers are TO DIE FOR. I have not a shred of paper left of that kit. It broke my heart to cut into it but I'm really happy with the way my projects turned out. I made 3 altered jars and filled them with vintagey gift tags. I'll be listing them this week - so keep an eye out!

Not too much going on otherwise. I'm going to clean clean clean today - especially my work space. Just so I can mess it up again :)
