Free Shipping During December

There will be free shipping all this month in my shop as a promotion for the holiday season. It doesn't seem like I'm selling a lot this month, but you never know when things might pick up? If you are thinking of buying from my shop for the holiday season, here's the dates to buy your items buy:

*For custom orders, please have your orders in by December 12th to make sure I have enough time to create the item and mail it you by Christmas. How long it takes to get to you will also depend on what type of item you want.
*For all other orders, I'll need your orders in by December 20th to guarantee it will get to you by Christmas. (This is priority mail according to the USPS website)

Also, this month, one of my coptic bound journals will be 15% off as part of a promotion for the bookbinding team I'm in. I forget what day it exactly (I think it's December 18th...), but it will be posted on the BEST Team Blog (and I'll post it here too).

Speaking of promotions, I'm in the Little Black Box this month and noticed my matchbook notepad got mentioned in this blog. Also, there's this group on youtube that makes videos about etsy and crafting called Indie5. This one girl usually does a video where she shows what's inside her Little Black Box. I'm hoping one of my matchbook notepads went in to hers and I can see a video of her opening it.

I haven't had a lot of time to create new items with finals coming up and trying to finish final projects for classes. I did get some older items listed today though:

Swirl Green Christmas Tree Card



This is sort of like my other Christmas cards, except I used a mix of decorative paper and fabric (for the tree). It comes blank on the inside.

Set of Decorative Handmade Playing Cards



This is a set of handmade playing cards I made for a craftster challenge on Craftster (I posted about it in July). I decided to put them up for sale because you never know who might buy them. I couldn't really figure out how to price them because it's sort of a mix between fine art and paper work, but I estimated a price from the materials and amount of time I spent on them.

I'm also thinking of making a calendar for 2009. I love the calendars I see on etsy and other craft sites. I want to list one if I can make one on time, but otherwise, I could just keep it for myself.
