Halloween Cards

In some of the free time I've had over the past couple weeks I have been making greeting cards. I think I've been going a little overboard but it's just so much fun! I made a pile of Christmas cards and realized I was jumping the gun a little and decided I had better make some Halloween ones too. I made two different ones (several of each) - 

 Cute, right? I'm a sucker for Halloween. I couldn't tell you why exactly. I'm not really into the scary element of it, but more the innocent fun part. What isn't to love about pumpkins and candy? :)

These cards are now available for purchase in my Etsy shop. 

Have a great weekend!

Boo! I'm having a Halloween Sale in my Etsy shop this weekend. Shop anytime from now until midnight on Halloween night and receive 25% off every purchase! To receive the discount use coupon code "Halloween" at checkout.

The table runner shown above is this week's item-of-the-week. It's made from the "Trick or Treat" fabric line by Moda. It's so super cute and fun for Halloween!

Have a great weekend!

Angela's Expressions

So I've been experimenting with this new website. It's called CraftLaunch and it's cool because it syncs to your Etsy page. Originally I thought that you didn't need an Etsy account to purchase an item, but you still do. I did think it was convenient though because you don't have to keep track of different inventories. Anyway, I created a webpage (they do a 15 day free trial) and I might give it a try for a month to see how it goes. I often wonder how some artist's do it; having a website while selling on Ebay and other sites. It's a lot to keep up with.

I have a little announcement to make - I had my first international sale on Etsy yesterday! Okay, maybe it's not such a big deal, but I was pretty excited about it. This woman was from Canada and turns out shipping costs were not as bad as I had expected. Therefore, I am officially offering shipping to Canada on my quilted table runners and other items.

I've been working on a commissioned watercolor painting and will post that as soon as I'm finished with it.

Hope you're having a great week!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Yes, I am one of those silly people that dresses up their dogs for Halloween! Actually this is the first year that I have, but don't they look adorable?

Bentley as a pumpkin is just too cute!! And Cooper as a ladybug is quite funny. I think I'll dress them up and have them help me pass out candy to trick-or-treaters tonight. :) I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!

Trick-Or-Treat

I made these adorable trick-or-treat bags for my nieces and nephew. After realizing that I had purchased way too much fabric, I made 5 more bags to list on Etsy. Since they're personalized, I listed them for $15 each.

There is just something about Halloween that I love. I love it even more than my birthday! I always have, and I'm not entirely sure why, but that might explain my motivation behind these trick-or-treat bags. I just couldn't resist the print on the fabrics.

If you're the type that loves to give gifts for all occasions, including Halloween, this bag is perfect (especially if you feel guilty giving candy). My hope is that my nieces and nephew carry these bags year after year, or use them for something else. Maybe they will just be a treasured keepsake. Whatever the case, I just love giving personalized one-of-a-kind gifts.
