Manic!

Is the only word that can describe today, was a mixture of some boring things that just needed doing and family visiting!





One thing that made me happy this morning though was the postman bringing me my business cards and the cello sleeves I was waiting for so I can send some orders, finally :)



all ready to be shipped out to US :)

Had more family vists today, the grandparents came over which was really nice, haven't seen them for a couple of weeks. Cakes ensued as always and Grandad managed to help me solve my almost full hardrive dilema.

Painting must commence and got an early start tomorrow :(

Night!

Sales, Shipping, Slurping and Printing, Posting, Village Pondering

I have just got back from a fairly lengthly walk in the village and am now blogging about my lovely day with a big mug of hot chocolate.


First thing this morning, as always (when i'm not working) on a Saturday, Josh, Mum and I bundlled into the car and went to watch Josh's swimming lesson.

After the lesson we all went into the town so I could get the last things so I could ship my very first order :)

We also perused round the lovely little shop called the Marmalade Tree and finished off with a steak slice from the bakery (I've been eating lots of these late, I do love them!) as a proper breakfast, a yoghurt just doesn't cut it.
Once home I began working on designing some labels, which didn't actually take that long after hours (yesterday) of agony trying to come up with ideas. I came to realise that in this situation less was definately more!

I then started with my printing, which I must admit, I do love printing for some reason:

my stickers and the print which is my very first sale!

I then set to work on all the little extras to go in with the print and I thoroughly enjoyed doing all these, I was truely in my element, If only I could make that my full time source of income!

the thankyou cards I made :)

all together!

finished and ready to be posted!


Creating packing up my first sale made me very happy and I hope there to be many more to come! I am donating 50% of all sales until midnight tonight (GMT) to Children In Need!



one final note my little helper today
