My New Years Resolution...

I don't usually make one as I never stick them it but this year I am going to try really hard to be organised. Last year I fluked it and think I did ok but I not only need to keep my life organised, I need to keep my Esty store organised as it is picking up I need to make sure everything is in order.

I have wanted to have a white board in my room so I can see things which need to be done in a glance but now my wall is nicely painted, the last thing I want to do is go sticking things on it so I needed to improvise. I came up with some pretty ribbon which I think goes beautifully!


I also needed to sort out my packaging for my blobs. I have been able to get away with the normal zip lock bags but my packs are now changing quite a bit and the zip lock bags are just not working any more. I have given cellophane a go. It is extremely fiddly and takes a lot more time but I think it looks quite nice. Packaging is one thing which I try to improve on all the time as this is one thing as that is what can make or break your product or brand. I think my blobs look attractive in their new little packs :)

My 'very bright' pink treasury





My very first treasury! What fun!! I think it may be a new addiction! Next time i think I might do bright yellow! I like the 'in your face' effect it has on people :)

New Etsy Items!

After painting my craft room I have been full of ideas! Gee, why did I take so long to get it done!!

I have just listed my new stationery sets! I love them!



I have now included 2 new items to make my original office sets a bit more interesting. I finally found some BIG pebble and JUMBO paper clips! I have also included a matching pencil in the set. I will soon be adding pencil sets which will be around 10 pencils for $5. I think these will make really nice gifts :)

Make sure you stop by my etsy store to check out my other items :)

Craft room makeover!

The holidays are here and it is time to do up the craft room!! I have been running low on ideas for my Etsy store and had hit a real low so S agreed to take me to Bunnings and get some PINK paint for my room! (Gosh I feel like a child!!) AND it looks fantastic!! Here is a peek of how my craft room used to look!And Tada! this is now what it looks like!!


Isn't it beautiful!!! I brought a nice PINK chair from Ikea and some little baskets and other pink things to make my room look more beautiful. I am hoping this will now lift my spirits so I can get back into making things!

I will be back soon to show my new items!!

Lilley has landed!!



Today I had a big package waiting for me!! Lilley was delivered!! Isn't she beautiful!
I will post lots more pictures soon but she is fairly tired from her long trip.

Etsy is still going strong! Another order last night while I was sleeping. I am nearly up to an order a day. hopefully I will soon be saying 5 orders a day! Okay, maybe I am getting a bit ahead of myself.

I am really excited to be working on some new designs for my coasters. They have been a hit so far!

Stay tuned to see how Lilley is going in her new home!

I have also been offered to sell my items on Georgielove.com.au!! The website is run by Sally and she has done a fantastic job. There are LOTS of sellers on there so you should stop by and check it out! Hopefully my items will be listed by the end of this month (that is the plan anyway!)
