random thoughts, owls and cute girls.

I actually accomplished something tonight! I made a load of cards and I'll post pictures of a couple of my favorites.














The supply shopping has not been going so well. I still need...everything. And now I need to add business cards to my list because I have seriously almost run out. I think I am going to make make a design and try my gocco to give my card a new look.















I had better get to bed. It's 12:30a.m. and I will be up at 6:00 and in a crazy training session all day at work tomorrow. Oh how I wish there were more hours in the day...

squirrels abound.

I like squirrels. They're fluffy and cute and will be making lots of appearances in my etsy shop in the coming weeks along with other forest friends. Excellent.

countdown to panic.

I have not yet reached full-on-renegade-panic-mode but did just realize that the show is just a little over six weeks away. This may not seem disturbing to anyone who makes a living from/has a lot of time to dedicate to their craft - but for me, it's quite distressing! My only craft time is carved out of delirious late nights and occasional lucky moments when both of my kids are napping.

I am trying to lay out a plan to get as much done as possible before the show. I am dedicating this week to supply shopping. I need everything - button parts, gocco ink, mod podge, cardstock....I could go on and on. I don't know why everything seems to run out at once.

I wonder if I can negotiate paying my rent in magnet sets and greeting cards.

Yay!

Thanks for your input on the owl designs. I printed some cards last night and they will be available in my etsy shop soon!

whooo do you like?

My husband and I are up late sketching madly to try to make some fun designs for notecards. Which owls do you like better? Please leave a comment to let me know! Boxy squareish goofy eyed owls - like this:









Or big fat simple sanrio-esque owls - like this one:













Of course these are just quick sketches - but which of the styles above (if any) do you dig? Thanks for your input!
