In case you are wondering why it’s been so quiet around here, it’s because we got a new family member. She is keeping us quite busy. When I would normally be doing business related stuff, I am now having to watch and chase a puppy. lol

I got so much fun stuff to make pens and I can’t wait to get started. Hoping to share a sneak peek today at some point.

It has been hectic and I didn’t get any of the things I wanted to share posted before Christmas. But, I did get a bunch of new supplies to make even more fancy beads and extra special pens!! I can’t wait to create!

I am hoping to get pens and ornaments posted from my recent show for anyone looking for last minute gifts. It has been WAY TOO BUSY lately. Since the Handmade Arcade event last week, my kiddos had 2 concerts and a dance recital. Plus, it’s a bit of a long story, but I am also part of my son’s dance class, so I was preparing for the recital too. Between that and work, I haven’t had much chance to breathe! Oh, and we got a puppy!!!

So, despite my best intentions, no photos of items for sell have been posted yet and no decorating at home has been finished. For now, please enjoy some photos of the hectic week and hopefully I will get some time in the next 2 days to share actual products.

I had such an awesome experience at Handmade Arcade. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be there from Bridgeway Capital, through the ACRE program. I have never participated in such a large and well organized event, with so many talented people. I am so tired but so grateful for the past two days.

I am all set up at Handmade Arcade for the opening party tonight! Friends, if you are local and you didn’t get your free tickets, run to eventbrite now and get a ticket to come tomorrow! I have never seen such stunning artistry all in the same place! I am truly humbled to be here with so many talented creators.

The last several weeks have been incredibly hectic getting ready for a big event and just, you know, life. As I was hustling so much to get prepared for Handmade Arcade, I didn’t do a very good job of letting you all know that I would be there. What I did do a good job of was making a ridiculous amount of handmade glitter float pens, beaded pens, and fancy handmade beads for the aforementioned beaded pens! I probably made 75-100 pens just in the past week or so. I am not even joking when I say that I have well over 300 pens coming along with me. Anyway, I hope you will stop in and see me, along with so many amazing creators!

I am getting some things together to take to Artistry From Scratch for the weekend! I am loving the pens! This isn’t everything that I hope to take, but it’s a start! (I was NOT running around making these last night after work with beads all over the place. Honest!😅)

I am checking in to see if anyone would be interested in ordering customized Christmas ornaments, keychains, or other items (such as mugs and tumblers) for the holidays. I have some items on hand to make, but I wanted to see if I should order more. Keychains and ornaments are two sided, so I can add photos to both sides or I can do a photo on one side and a quote on the other, children’s artwork, etc. Tumblers and mugs can include artwork, photos, or other designs. The tumbler pictured was made with my grandmother’s artwork and it is my favorite item I have made so far!

As usual, I am behind schedule! With it being Thanksgiving week, and a big shopping weekend, I wanted to see if anyone would be k treated in purchasing key chains, ornaments, or other personalized items! I will share some samples of items I have created this past year.

Ornaments and keychains are front and back, so I can include photos on both sides. I can also do favorite sayings as well.

The tumbler pictured was made with my grandmother’s artwork. It is one of my favorite things I have ever made! I can also do mugs and water bottles. If you have an idea that you don’t see here, just ask and I can let you know if it is something I can do! And, just a reminder, I do not do licensed items such as Disney characters or Sports team logos.
