In honor of lazy Sundays, here is a little roundup of coffee mug related items found on Etsy.

Onto part two of my hand-drawn cards from back in 2006. I am having a hard time believing that I actually found time to hand-draw each of these cards using colored pencils. I must have had a lot more creative energy back 4 years ago, to create each unique card design and spend all that time drawing with colored pencils.
Here are 7 more hand-drawn cards, made by me, in the very very beginning of my card-making adventures.

Travel back in time with me, to 2006. To a time when I drew all my cards by hand with colored pencil and hadn’t yet started using scrapbook paper and glue as my mediums of choice.
I think I’m going to have to make this post a two-parter because I have much more old cards to show than I initially thought.
Here are 6 hand-drawn cards, made by me, in the very very beginning of my card-making adventures.

Besides revamping my little blog, here’s a look at what I have been working on this week.

(Packaging for my first Etsy sale.)
(Shipping my first Etsy sale.)
(My new blog banner that I designed.)
(My new Etsy banner that I designed to coordinate with my blog.)
(The beginning stages of felt barrettes.)

If you’ve been to my blog lately, you most likely noticed that I made a few changes.
The previous design was getting a little stale (which simply means I was getting bored with it), and I’ve been meaning to make some changes.
My intention was to hop into the code and design it myself. That, however, became too time-consuming and did not happen. Plus, I stumbled upon a template right in blogger that I really liked. So for now, I can live with only having designed my new blog header. And I am pleased with how that turned out. Very pleased actually. Oh, and how could I forget? I also designed the email, Facebook, and Etsy tabs on the right-hand side of my blog as well.
I will continue to tweak little things here and there and work to finally update all my tabs…but that is a slow process. It has been a busy week. And next week promises to be an even busier week with guests coming to town (Yay! Sarah and Chad!).
In the meantime, check out my Etsy shop via the link on the right. I redesigned my shop banner for that as well. Gone are the butterfly and stars. If you check out my shop, you may also notice that I made my very first Etsy sale (the reason why I was so busy this week and last). I made custom invitations and will write a more detailed post about them in the future (after the event). Until then, you can check out the custom invites via this link. The plan is to finally get my shop up and running with products consistently available for purchase. I know, I know…it’s been a long time coming. In the works right now: a few handmade cards, felt barrettes, and photo print note cards. So, keep an eye out!
The sunset last night was simply ah-mazing. These photos just don’t do it justice.
