My wife's artwork

Rachel recently started space painting. I thought now would be the perfect time to share, since her etsy shop will be open next week! :)

Please check out her FB page and leave her some love. Spray paint art is underappreciated, but I want her to know we all believe she is an artist! Thanks!

Also if you have any idea how to ship these things .. let me know. We have to figure that out before we open her shop! I really want to avoid rolling them up. Maybe like a document mailer? But they're HUGE.. like 22x28.. How does one ship artwork usually?

Just a sample of her work.. there are more pics on her FB page.

Sharing some linky love

I started a swap with a few Etsians where we traded business cards and are sending them off with our orders, hopefully expanding our circle of customers. Hopefully being the keyword hehe. I have had a lot of orders this month, so I've sent off quite a few cards! But I recently received more and wanted to share some linky love because I adore their cards! They rock and I'm a litttttle jealous.

First, though, I have to share my newest Etsy listing... click here to see it. The lovely JANE let Melly model for me. Thank you, Jane. (Those links mean.. go visit her lol)

I also am offering F R E E shipping on all orders in my etsy shop through the end of April. You will see that the prices are marked up more than on the website, but all prices are going to be that price soon. Unfortunately, my expenses have gone up. So I am hoping everyone will take advantage of the free shipping on Etsy to offset the raise in prices. :/ Hopefully my customers understand that running a website and business can get really expensive, and I am barely breaking even.. so I'm hoping to make a profit by raising the prices a bit. I'd love to hear comments/suggestions on this issue.

First up, Kimminita. You can check out her Etsy shop here. I'm loving her vintage memo boards.



Next, Tres Renee Studio. This woman is SO nice.. SO talented.. and just all around awesomeness. She does portraits painted on canvas (or paper!) in oil or acrylic from your favorite photos. She paints them with archival materials, and frames them as well. Check her out on etsy by clicking here. An 8"x10" image framed to 11"x14" and 12"x12" canvas portraits start at $175.00. You can contact Renee for more pricing info. This would be a great graduation gift.



Last but not least, La Cravate Du Chien... I think I've talked about this shop before. Etsy is so saturated with jewelry makers that it's hard to even figure out where to start. I suggest here! :)



Later tonight, I will try to post an update on the weight loss bloggers as well as a weigh in from yours truly.
