October happenings

These earrings were on hold awhile ago.  My friend must have changed his mind and got his wife a different gift because he never came over to purchase them.  So they went back into my case and finally sold at a craft event I did earlier this month.   I always liked them and am glad they'll now be adorning the ears of a pretty girl instead of sitting in a plastic bag! 


This card sold the other day.  I always appreciate a sale, but feel a little bad when it's a sympathy card, knowing that person has been touched by sadness.


I have an event to attend later in the week and will have some Halloween cards with me. 


I have made alot of Christmas cards over the years but I don't send handmade ones to everyone on our card list.  Sometimes a girl just buys a box or two from the store and is happy with that.  
For the event next week, I do want to offer a few assorted holiday designs.  Guess I better get to work, huh?

                     

If you are a cardmaker, do you make them for all holidays and occasions?  If you sell cards, what is your best holiday for sales?


Hope you are enjoying a nice weekend!

hearts and fans

These two pair (or is it 'pairs' ...hmm?)  are fairly recent creations. 

Rose gold hearts/wires/beads with Swarovski crystals and black onyx. 


I don't know yet, but I think these might have to be re-worked.  They feel heavy.  Since I can't wear earrings (insert gentle sobbing here) I'm not sure if the middle beads/crystals add too much.  I know alot of people who love the dangly gypsy earrings but these seem like they might be weightier.

World Card Making Day!

World Card Making Day

I didn't know it was WCMD until a friend posted it on my wall at Facebook.  Duh, I'm cardmaker and I didn't know about this before??   Ah well, I'll get around to a few sites maybe tomorrow and check out as many designs as I can since right now I'm exhausted from a craft fair today. 

Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps is another site that looks really interesting and has alot of links for cards.
