Well, it is official.  I am exhausted!  We now have over 500 greeting cards in stock for the Seattle Pet Expo (and what doesn't sell there will be available for the Summer and Holiday Bazaars).

Here are some of the greeting cards I prepared over the past two weeks:

Loads of Kitties!! 

And we have customers who love bunnies!

I haven't shown any of my husband's etched glassware in quite a while, so here is one of his larger apothecary jars with a Butterfly design.  His glassware is available at our shows if you are looking for a unique gift -- all pets, animals, floral, seashells, and nature inspired.

And, of course, we will have handmade chocolates.  At the Seattle Pet Expo, we will be debuting our new Raspberry Creme/White Chocolate truffles!  Come early to get yours!

I will have some wonderful cross stitch gifts available as well.

First 250 Cat households and first 250 Dog households each day will receive a free bag of snacks for your four-legged buddy.  Three (3) gift baskets will be up for a drawing as well.

So be sure to stop at our booth -- #430 -- and say Hi!

Look forward to seeing you at the Pet Expo!

Hi Everyone!  The Postage Stamp Greeting Card Class in mid-April went well. Students enjoyed the cards and are looking forward to sending them out as Birthday and Mother's Day cards.

It is time for our first Craft Show of the year, so be sure to come out and get some of my husband's yummy handmade chocolates.  With Mother's Day, Father's Day and I'm sure numerous birthdays coming up over the next few months, you'll want to check out the handmade greeting cards.  There are now over 500 cards in stock, so take the time to see what you need.  Yes, we do have baby cards.

With our Pet Expo coming up in just over a month, I've been working up a whole slew of pet cards.  I previously showed you the cat cards; here are some of our dog cards:

Here is the information on the Spring Craft Fair we have this weekend.  We hope to see you there!

Here is a wedding card I was commissioned to do for a Seahawks-themed wedding.  Turned out super good!

Lastly, I made this Tink card for a special little girl.

See you at the Craft Fair this weekend!

If you cannot attend, Have a great weekend!

We have a greeting card class coming up in 2 weeks!  Since it is in conjunction with a (postage) stamp show, we will be making 4 postage stamp greeting cards and a special card for Mother's Day.

Cost will be $20.00 for all 5 cards.  You do need to bring a pair of small scissors and tweezers.  If you have stamps that fit the card themes, please bring them, otherwise, I will supply those.  Optional scrapbooking supplies to bring:  paper cutter, work mat, and runner adhesive and glue for paper crafts.  If you need runner adhesive, it will cost $5 (my cost).

Materials to make the cards will be provided.

I was informed by one of my customers that my (postage) stamp greeting cards stock was low.  Turns out, they were right!


Since I'm still working up cards for the June Pet Expo, I pulled out a bunch of cat stamps to make cards.  Here they are:

The bright foil papers are all from Belgium.

So cute -- Persians are such "royal" at times.

More papers from Belgium.

Have to put in some wild cats for my customers.

Wow!  These were all so fun to do, quick and easy, and affordable for the customers!
