 One of the greatest joys of doing what I do is that work never feels like "work." I get to fill my time doing what I love to do -- sewing, creating, playing with ribbons, shopping for materials and conversing with my fabulous customers (and working in my pj's is a real perk!). So when a big time publication contacted ME about including MY wine/drink tags in their April issue, well...I was positively giddy and quite honored. I wont admit to how many times I ran to the newsstand this month to see if the April issue was {finally} on display, but I will admit to wanting to tell every person around me in the store that "hey, look here, these are mine!" when I got my first glance at the spread. Take a look! Write Drink Tags are available in standard sets of 12 and 24. They can also be purchased in bulk (great for guests at receptions and parties) and as personalized favors. Just ask for details!   Need a favor? 03/05/2011
 I love custom orders. I really do. Not only do they give me the chance to create something special for a customer, 99 percent of the time they lead to a new design or product. Recently, I had a customer order a large quantity of Write Drink Tags for her sister's bridal shower luncheon she is hosting this coming May. As we discussed pricing, I had a surprise "aha" moment - for a special event like this, how fun would it be to tailor the packaging to reflect the bride's special day. Hello, genius! After all, in my former life I was a communications director + graphic designer. How brilliant, I could marry two of my loves and offer my customer a truly unique bridal luncheon favor. Today, I happily shipped out the customer's box of wine tag favors. Must say, I'm delighted with how they turned out. I created four concepts for the customer that used the wedding colors, and she ultimately choice this one (and my personal favorite!). Personalized drink tag favors are perfect for weddings, bridal showers, anniversary parties, wine parties and other festive celebrations. Thank your special guests with an extra special touch. Design and message are fully customizable. If you are interested in a bulk purchase of tags for favors, let's chat about it! ...and, by the way, the timing for this could not be more ideal. Why, you ask? Can't say just yet...but exciting details to come very, very soon!   Weekend Deal: Get your shopping on... 09/25/2009

What a fun surprise! Just happened to check on my store on Artfire.com and was greeted with the sight that my Children's Toile chalk mat was "The Item of the Hour." Naturally, I had to take a screen shot of it. It's not every day you get front screen promotion! Thanks, Artfire!  In the press: Handmade News 07/14/2009

Oh boy! It's been months since I last posted on my blog, which just goes to show you how busy life has been. Between my daughter Lilly's preschool & playdate activities (ah the busy life of a nearly 5-year-old) and creating new items for Lil.B.Designs, I'm lucky to get dinner on the table and folded laundry put away. Summer is now here (yay!), which means I have an even better excuse for avoiding housework and the perfect reason for having a yard sale! So, before I pilfer through my garage for hot ticket items to sell, I'll start with my Lil.B.Designs shop. This coming week, Etsy is hosting its 2nd annual "Yart Sale" (Art + Yard Sale = Yart!) and I'm joining the fun because, seriously, who doesn't like a good deal these days. During the Yart Sale days, I'm offering FREE SHIPPING worldwide. That's like saving on gas by not having to drive to the store AND having it delivered right to you (not to mention the added bonus of shopping in your PJ's). Stress free. Postage free. Got to love that!  |  {about me}
