Packaging Fix

I made a simple bow tonight for a friend and, as usual, had a dilemma as to how I would present it to her. Usually with hair accessories, I add them to a gift bag or what-not, but I didn't want to go through all the hype for a simple bow...It's just one of those little "thanks for being a great friend" type of gifts ..you know, the little trinkets and heart-felt items we give to each other for a pick-me-up, smile or as just a kind gesture.
So, I decided to do the following in case you want a good idea too...I took a couple of colorful note cards and my favorite stamps and decorated for fun...I had a cute hole punch to add a little depth, cute slits for the bows, and wa-la...I loved the outcome. I went ahead and made a half-dozen or so to keep on hand for those times you want to give a little something last minute or for a final touch on a gift or birthday present fit for a little princess :).

January 2010

Over the holiday, my good and long-time friend Julie insisted I start designing and selling my work...I never really considered selling my work seriously to the public, as the amount of time put in comes no where close to equal profit received, but I thought I would give this whole idea a simple start by creating a blog dedicated solely to my work as it is created...a working portfolio as you will. I am always up for a good creative challenge...and will be happy to create a custom project or item for your special occasion or as a gift...handmade happiness...it's made to order...so thanks Julie, thanks for your confidence and fanfare...here it goes...
