Showcase and Secret Santa

My Reindeer Greeting Card is in the Paper Goods Showcase today. If that sells, I have some other holiday cards lined up too. I know showcases aren't usually that effective, but I figured doing it just one time couldn't hurt. I'm going to see if the views for that item go up.

I'm doing a Secret Santa type gift exchange in the EtsyVeg team. I'm a little late sending it out because I was so busy with school work, but I got my gift for my partner sent out

When you open it up...
I decided to make my Secret Santa a sketchbook because she likes sketching. I found this pretty blue rose fabric at a store near my college and decided to use it.

I also gave her this card. I thought the Penquins were a good fit because of it being the EtsyVeg team:



I also got my Secret Santa gift in the mail. I decided to not open it until Christmas, but I know it's jewelry and soap (because I read the card). I can't wait to see it. I love handmade gifts. I'm still working on my gifts, but I'll also do a post showing what I gave out as gifts for my family.

Speaking of gifts, for my mom's birthday, I got her a gift certificate to my Etsy shop and she chose this box. It's not listed now, but if you want a custom one like it, I can re-create it:

Pink Flowers Box



I ordered a lot of new paper and a lot of it came in the mail. It looks really nice in real life. I can't wait to start using it. I also got some vintage paper and greeting cards I'm going to play around it. I don't have any glue left though so I probably won't start making new items until after Christmas.
