Black Friday and Cyber Monday fun!

Thanksgiving is the time that we reflect on all that we are thankful for, and I've got so much to be thankful for this past year. I have a healthy and happy family, fantastic friends and a supportive community. This year, I have to add, having the opportunity to expand my creative business to that list. The past several months have seen many additions to both Etsy stores and Zazzle, several new cakes, the revival of this blog as well as branching out into the world of stock photography. I am excited to see where it all goes in 2011.

But before we jump ahead to a new year, we can't forget that the holidays are still before us, along with shopping, shopping, shopping. Black Friday, and more recently Cyber Monday, are two of my favorite days. Like everyone else, I'm drawn to the great deals but I also love the bustle of the holiday season. I absolutely adore finding little gifts that will speak to the person I'm shopping for... send some magic their way. That means even more to me now that I am offering my creativity publicly. I feel very fortunate to be able to convey same that magic through my art.

This year I am having my first sale for a holiday season in both Etsy stores. It will run from Wednesday, November 24th, 5 p.m. pacific to Monday, November 29th, 5 p.m. pacific. cre8ivegifts will feature 25% off of all wine charms and 50% off of all cell phone charms. In the cre8ivepix store, all photography prints will be Buy One Get One Free of equal or lesser value. Simply request a custom order.

I want to send out many hugs and a big thank you to my friends, family and customers for supporting my businesses and I hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday season!

New year, new adventures, new news!!

Happy New Year! New years always bring new perspectives and here in cre8iveland it's no different. Whether you call them resolutions or goals, I've always been one to write out how I hope my year will transpire and what I hope to say I have accomplished at the end of the next 12 months. This year is no different. And while I have the same "going to exercise regularly" resolutions as everyone else, most of my goals are centered on expanding the various aspects of my business and finding more ways to give back. While cre8ive Industries has always donated items to help with various causes and fundraisers, there is so much more that can be done. It is this that tops my resolution list. In December, I received a fun bit of news... one of my designs, the I'm the Baby Daddy tshirt , is being featured on Amazon. It's a design that I created for my Cafepress store, mostly out of a sarcastic state as the term Baby Daddy first started getting popular. My intention ...

Afternoon Hiking

Two days ago I posted on my facebook wall that I was done being creative for the day and was going outside to play. Funny thing about going outside to play… it usually gives me more work to do in the form of photos to edit. (-: The kids and I went to Lucia Falls and Moulton Falls Park, which were both beautiful and relatively empty of people. The water was cold but not as cold as you might expect for mountain run off in June. However, not warm enough to swim. And it’s all fun and games until someone falls in the river. In this case it was the little guy who now has a battle wound in the form of a scraped knee and a new story to add to his collection of adventures. Several new shots, one scraped knee, a mile or two of hiking and lots of laughs add up to a pretty good afternoon.

Birthdays, Bookmarks and Baseball

Image
There's not much that keeps me from crafting, baking and creativity in general. However, baseball is one of those things. We have two kids in regular little league and one kiddo who plays for a tournament team that has more games during a much longer season. And while I love baseball, this could mean 3 games in 3 different towns on any given day and conceivably a game every day during May and June and All Star Tournaments in July. Craziness. It also means that I have a lot to do where my creative work is concerned to catch up. Here is catching up looks like... Graphic design  Since Cafepress changed the way they do business a year ago, I've been gradually moving my newer designs to Zazzle instead. I have over 800 designs at CP but will probably only move about 200 of them and put any new creations at Zazzle as well.  Zazzle isn't as popular as CP yet and I don't love what I feel are limitations, but I have hopes that once I get my designs listed, it will be better....
