I know I'm early again with changing the skins.  I can never wait till the actual day anymore for the season to get here.  Besides, it was depressing looking at a snow driven website when there is no snow here.

I'm excited for the tea day tomorrow.  Even though there are literally only a handful of people coming it should still be fun.  People will walk out of here with lots of goodies and happy tummies.  At least that is my goal.  I also hope to get opinions on shop names tomorrow.

I want to have the name picked out by this weekend and grab those profiles and domains.  Then I'll crank out some business cards and stickers.  All next week will be devoted to some crafting but the main focus is website creation and my Etsy profiles.  By the end of next week I hope to upload all these photos and transfer my item descriptions from notebook to keyboard.  I really could do it all by Monday but I don't want to put it up before all my packing gear gets here.  I'm all about fast turn around people.

I worked on some postcard sets, gift tags and more bookmark pairs using one type of card stock today.  All the hard card bases reuse cardboard packing materials from other card stock.  I have found a way to reuse anything that comes in contact with my crafts and supplies.  Except for cut off scraps or plastic wrapping.  My goal is to recycle, reuse and thus reduce.  That is going to be my main shop motto.  It's all about educating people while also providing goods to them.

Some examples of the reused card stock items:

I started the teacup bird feeder/votive holders today.  I don't think I will get back to them till Monday though!  Plus I need to find chain hangers to finish them anyway and that is going to be hard.  I only need two!
