It certainly doesn't feel like it, but the calendar will show you that Christmas is just around the corner! I made my first Christmas card of the season today.

I've been published!

So, last week I got an e-mail through my Etsy shop from a fellow Etsy seller who is also the DIY wedding expert for the Examiner.com. She was writing an article on fashionable colors for spring and wanted to know if she could use my recently listed Wedding Congratulations card in her slideshow. In doing so she would link my Etsy shop in the picture credits.

Of course I said YES!!! The idea of having exposure for my cards is exciting! I'm not sure what her reader base is, and how many will actually see this, but it's a start, right?

Take a look! It's the first picture on the turquoise page of her slideshow.

Bright, fun cards

What to do, what to do....

For the first time, all my kids are in school all day long! So, with all of this "Me" time I'm going to have, I'm working on building my card business. I've made several cards in the past few weeks and have them listed at my Etsy shop. I have a free giveaway in mind - still working on the details. Check back soon to see the announcement!

In the meantime, take a look at some of my latest creations!
