March Madness Day 18 - A special card for a Friends Mum

Today has been a little less hectic than yesterday but still as productive, as I have worked on some new cards, done some painting, been to the gym and out for several walks with my dogs Jelly & Daisy as it's been such a beautiful day.

One of the cards I made today is a special one for a school friends mother who has been through surgery to remove cancer and I wanted to send her a card to brighten her day.  I hope this brings a smile to her face and these flowers are sure to last much longer than fresh ones too.

I've got it all packaged up safely ready to post back to England in the morning.

New Handy Note Pads

I love making things, cards, cakes, etc, etc. and so when I picked up a pack of 5 mini notepads in Staples last week, my brain starting thinking of what I could do with them to make them more fun!

I used some colored cardstock to cover the fronts of the cards, and then mounted a cute cut out verse on the front of each! I think I'll be making lots more of these as they'll be perfect stocking fillers for the holidays!

Review from a very happy customer

Its always nice to hear how happy someone is with their purchase of one of my handmade cards and today I got an awesome review I wanted to share with you.

All this networking is a full time job!

Wow, I never knew you could spend so much time on these soocial network sites promoting your business. My head is in a spin with all the blogs, websites, twitters, facebook things out there.

I've spent the last couple of days creating new sites and doing lots of networking in the hope that its going to drive more traffic to my hand made card site and in turn bring in more sales to my Etsy store. I just need to make sure I leave time to actually make the cards!!

I'm sure once I get my head around it all, it will all become second nature to me, but then there will probably be even more things to do by then.
