Treasury Tuesday!

Ok I know that it isn't Tuesday just yet, give me about 5 hours. But I really wanted to share my latest Treasury.

I created this treasury in honor of my cus's three year wedding anniversary, it is all about the number 3. Some really cute stuff.

Congratulations Talia & Luke!

Having a probem......

I have been asked to make a birthday gift for my mother-in-laws sister's 50th birthday, OMG! What on earth am I going to make? So far with my store SuJoh I mostly just make pillows and shopping bags, and I don't think that any of those who be good 50th birthday gifts. I think that this request of me was made because of the card that I made for my sister-in-laws birthday which was on Friday. Next weekend she is having her birthday party which is an Alice in Wonderland themed fancy dress party, and I found a vintage image taken from an original version of the book Alice in wonderland I coloured the image in Photoshop and layered the card with a clock image. My in-laws all loved the card, which I suppose is the reason why I have been asked to make something. Card I can do, I have some great vintage images that I would love to play with the make a 50th birthday card. But as for a gift........

I have had an idea, a framed personalised family tree. Having a little trouble finding the right kind of image. I think that I might have a scrapbooking page in my collection, but that has been earmarked for my own personal use. Though I have had that page for a couple of years without using it so this might be the use I have obviously been waiting for.......

My mother-in-law has said that she wants to pay me for whatever it is that I make, which is good. I have 2ish people who are going to buys something from my Etsy store SuJoh (yeah!).

I have until the 19th October (no pressure!!!), time to go away that formulate some ideas. Maybe some more searching the www.

Treasury Tuesday!

I L-O-V-E Etsy and love any excuse to spent time searching around the creative Esty sellers. Recently I have been looking for a birthday present for my sister-in-law, she is turn the big 3-0 and is celebrating with an Alice in Wonderland inspired fancy dress party. As of yet not sure what me and my WH (wonderful husband) are going to dress up as yet, but I still have time.

Today's treasury Tuesday is inspired by Alice in Wonderland and my search for a present for my sister-in-law, is her gift in the list?......hmmm........not telling!

Click her to check out my treasury list, don't forget to check out my store SuJoh as well!

I'm on a showcase!

This month I splashed out on a showcase spot for my Etsy store. It is in the housewares section woohoo!

Sales have been abit slow as of late, so I am hoping that my presence in the showcase will get my products and store out there. I have been enjoying working for myself doing something that I love to do. I am most excited about my cards that I have been working on using vintage images, just been waiting to go and get our printer ink cartridge filled so that I can get some printing done. I have been meaning to do it for 2 months, but things have been getting in the way and I forget.

Pop over to my store and check it out. Also sign up for my newsletter and you can stay updated with new products in the store and with other things happening in my blog world.

Open for business!

YEAH!

I have listed my first three items for sale on my Etsy shop SuJoh.

Please pop over and have a look, let me know what you think!

I am also developing an idea for my shop that will allow me to share my love of scrapbooking, and my obsessive love of going to scrapbooking store.

It is called;

Customisable Scrapbooking Pages

Basically I will be designing scrapbook pages and people would send me photo's and I would place those photo's on the layout and send the now completely layout to the person who sent me the photo's.

Still working out all the details, stay tuned for more.

So in love!

I found this background and just had to use it, I think that I am alittle ADHD when it comes to this blog. I just find it fun to play with the look and the feel. I have been very good not to change the name lately, I really like my blog name. It is quite simple but speaks volumes (I think) about me. Take me as I am cause that is all I am. I really feel that God has been working on making me happy with who I am and seeing the value in that person.

Going with my ADHDness I have changed the name of my ETSY shop, it is now SuJoh and combination of my first and last name. I really like the new name and think that it says that this is my store/brand but I can still stand back from it when I need to. I have seen people start ventures like this and they get caught up and ultimately burnt out. I don't want to do that, because I love making the things that I am going to be selling and I don't want to lose that love. That is one of my greatest fears, I don't want this to become 'work' something I just do and not enjoy.

Two days to go before items go up for sale on my ETSY store! Woohoo!

I have an opening....

Due to the birth of my new baby niece I have had to put back the opening of my Etsy store, can't focus on the store as well as all that comes with a new addition to our family.

But I thought that I would give a little preview of some of the things that I have been working on for the store.

I really like the way that the Journal covers have turned out, particularly like the one with the coordinating flowers, bit more time consuming but love how it turned out. Very tempted to keep it for myself.

My new plan is to start selling end of next week (16th July 2010), so exciting to have an official date!
