New Listings

Click here to go to the giveaway. By the way, when you enter, you don't have to do a bunch of responses for everything you did. You can just do one response and I'll add up all your entries. :)

I want to keep a link to my giveaway on top so it's easy to find. I know when I update, the entry will move down one. My giveaway is having a good turnout this time. It ends August 5th so there's still time to enter! I'm trying to promote my giveaway a lot so I think that's helped. I never got exactly why a lot of people did giveaways before, but now I see how they can be a lot of fun and helpful for your shop.

Speaking of giveaways, I won a giveaway done by someone else! I won a giveaway last year, but the person never sent me my prize and didn't reply to me when I contacted her. I think most people are pretty good at being honest with prizes though so I'm excited about this. I won this really cute crocheted banana:



I love crocheted things and little food items like these so I'm glad out of the giveaways I entered (I entered a bunch while I was promoting my own), I got to have this item. Bananas are one of my favorite fruits and they also rhyme with my name. :)

I got these new items listed:

Red and Gold Anniversary Greeting Card



This item is made with red tissue paper and red decorative paper. It's an anniversary card on the inside. I love the unique texture of it and had a lot of fun ripping the paper and collaging them together (I find this technique is good to use with scrap papers I have).

Hope Floats Movie Recycled Journal



I made this item over a year ago, but never got it listed for some reason. I always like to have a couple of items I don't list right away so if I do feel like listing something when there's not any new items, I can. This recycled journal uses a recycled VHS cover of the movie "Hope Floats". I've never seen the movie actually, I just sort of found the case. It seems like it's a cute movie though. I used the long stitch method to bind it together which I don't use on any other journals except this one.

The plug to charge my camera broke so I had to order a new one. Once I get my camera back, I can take photos of new items I made this week. I made 3 new journals and a bunch of new cards. I also made some envelopes out of decorative paper. I usually make envelopes to go with orders of journals (I try to have paper of the envelope match the color of the journal), but I was thinking of selling some of these new ones. Would you guys be interested in envelopes? If people show interest, I'll definitely make a listing for them.

There's only two more days left of voting for my Blue Marbled Coptic Stitch Journal to be in the gift guide. I don't think I'll make it to the gift guide, but I'm glad I got nominated and it seems like I'm getting more exposure in my shop just for being nominated. I think only the top 3 people get in the gift guides and I'm not even in the top half. I wonder how much exposure people in gift guides get. I know being in a showcase doesn't help your shop much, but being on the front page does seem to get clicks, so maybe the gift guides are somewhere in between? If you haven't voted, I'd appreciate your vote for my journal. :)
