Happy Halloween??

That's right!!! I started making items for Halloween.

You may think it's a little early to start thinking about Halloween, but I want to make sure that I get everything I'm making done in time to add to the Etsy store and that the items can be ready to be delivered in time for Halloween.

So far I have designed two invitations and I also have made one greeting card. I also have been planning all the other items I will be making.

Here is a sneak peek at the two invitations!

This is the first one:

Book Marks!!

Well the other day I had made a book mark for a gift and I liked it so much that I went off on a mini book mark making spree! Lol so now I have six new bookmarks for the store! They all have different themes and colors. I will be adding them to the Etsy store later today after I finish taking them and editing the pictures.

Also after I post those I will be working on a few greeting cards and also a few other items, like a gift bag or two and two folders for back to school (hopefully they will be made with recycled trading cards!)

Also next month I will be starting to work on Halloween items! Halloween is my favorite holiday and I am getting a head start because after that comes Thanksgiving and Christmas! I will be a busy for sure!

Also I am squeezing in a secret project for an anniversary gift for my husband, and hun if your reading this there will be no clues given! LOL

I recently rearranged our office again because we took the twin bed out and I should take pictures and write another post about that! Soon hopefully!
