New things to come






Well I'm trying to get new ideas and put out new things. I tend to get board if I do the same thing over and over again, as I know plenty of other people do as well. But right now I have a new card that I'll be putting in to my Etsy shop later this week. I love this card because it's the card and its holder all in one. I like it because it's cute and decorative on the outside, has a little tab on the inside to add just a little more to it and them you have your place to write your little note or letter to whom ever. Right now I just have them as Valentines, but there will be more to come and these will be in my store later this week. I'm also going to be working on a few different books. I'll post a peek of them later in the week!

A good cause

The link above is for a blog by some girls here in Arkansas that
are trying to help in the fight against breast cancer. They've
asked me to part of there team to get fund raisers together and get
the word out to people here in Arkansas and everywhere else.
They're doing this for the Susan G. Komen's Passionately Pink for
the Cure campaign.

They are planning on having a crop in October to raise money, but
between now and then, they're also trying to come up with some
other events and activities. Some people are donating items for
door prizes at the crop or getting together for sales and other
events between now and them. The other events between now and
then aren't set in stone yet, but they will be here very soon.

Things are just now getting kicked off, but if you would like to
help in some way, even if it's just passing the word around,
please do! And if you would like to do more please let them know
on their blog or let me know. Please visit their blog and check
it off and on for new info.My blog is also keeping up with them
and things going on with it. I would love to encourage anyone
that has been affected, directly or indirectly, by this disease
to get involved in any way possible.

Trying new things


Well its a new year, so I thought I'd try something new as well. So now I have a blog, not completely sure what all I'm going to do with it but I guess I'll figure it out as I go. Thats one thing I want to do this year, I guess as kind of a resolution, is to go with the flow a little more. Instead of felling like I have to have everything planned. So maybe this will help. Never know.

Lets see, I'm a part of a great web site that promotes handmade items, ETSY, http://www.etsy.com/index.php

I have my own store, Scrap_a_dot, http://scrapadot.etsy.com
I make scrapbooks, cards, tags and more. I haven't got everything put on my site yet, but I'm working on it. Its taken me a while to get things together and finding the time to make things is hard with two little ones, but I manage to do it and my husband helps.
