The Long Overdue Update...

Well first let me start off by saying I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I ended up working a double on Christmas, until 10pm on New Year's Eve and back in at 7am on New Year's Day. Mom and Bill got me a Wii and I've been spending way too many hours playing Animal Crossing. Didn't get the Cricut like I wanted but Mom reminded me that my birthday is right around the corner.


The Spring semester started on Monday and I've been trying to accustom myself to getting back into the swing of things seeing as I've been out of school for twelve years. Here I go giving away my age! I'm taking Math, English, two Psychology classes and Spanish. Yo estoy muy desconcertado.

I've started a new shop called Strange Candy. I want to keep IssueGirl more cards and jewelry and throw all of my other little creations into the other. I have a lot of funky items I need to upload but my homework load has prevented me from doing so. Here are a few samples of what will be up for grabs on Etsy.

Michael's is getting some amazing card stock in. I drove up to Paducah last week and found a Poppy themed pack that I picked up. I've made the cards but again, no time to take photos. I'm not working on Sunday so hopefully I'll be able to get it done then.


Valentine's and St. Patty's is right around the corner so keep you eyes out for themed items. Currently I have two Valentine photo frames and a cute little scrapbook. Wednesday night I made a St. Patty's Day shamrock photo frame and a lot of jewelry. They'll all be posted soon. I promise.


Swap-bot is growing on me and I've been signing up for swaps left and right. I even created a cozy mittens/gloves swap today. With the temperatures in the negatives and single digits I figured it would be a great idea. Here's a list of the swaps I'm currently signed up for.


I feel like I'm leaving something out and I probably am. Of course! The January Giveaway! This month, the giveaway will be for a set of 2 Valentines Fridge Flair magnets! I will make this a new post with all of the details.


I hope everyone is doing well and finds lots of new stuff to check out!

January Giveaway: You Vote!

I've been going through my goodies and couldn't decide on what to use for the giveawaw in January so I figure'd I'd make a poll and let you guys decide on what you want to see up for grabs! Use the poll box on the top right side bar to cast your vote. Whatever item has the most votes will be up for grabs. I'll be listing the item on here as well as the Etsy Giveaways Blog. VOTE!

Gift Packs Are Here!


The sun came out today for about 15 minutes and I was finally able to take photos of these. These gift packs include a handmade card with a matching silver tin, perfect for small gifts! The cards measure 4" x 5.5" and come in a clear cello envelope for protection. The tins measure 2" across and 1" high. I intentionally left the cards blank on the inside so you can use them for any occasion! They should be up in my shop by this afternoon sometime :D

Twenty-Second & Main

Twenty-Second & Main is another one of my etsy shops, solely dedicated to vintage finds. I had some old jewelry kicking around and figured, why not? I currently have only 3 pieces listed by I plan to add more once the holidays are over and some of the craziness stops. Check out the blog here.

Swap-bot


Do you like sending and receiving snail mail? Do you like writing letters, making crafts, or putting together fun packages? You should try swapping! Swap-bot is a online service that organizes group swaps and a community of creative individuals. Swap-bot takes the hassle out of participating in group swaps by organizing all of the participant information and doing all of the partner assignments. On Swap-bot, you can host swaps, join swaps, and chat with other swappers from all over the world. Give it a try!

I've signed up for 5 swaps already.

Yay Swaps!
