Whimsical trees


It's a beautiful day today! Supposed to reach about 28 degrees today, that's awesome for the end of September! I went for a powerwalk this morning, felt great to be in the sunshine, yup soakin' up that vitamain D.
Well I've been creating Christmas designs. Whimsical trees and winter scenes! Someone visiting my site said how festive it was and that they really liked the way it looked! It's great getting feed back from others on my creations and designs! I used my Christmas trees on a postage stamp that says December Wedding! Also on t-shirts and mugs! It's fun brainstorming and seeing what I can come up with! Well better run for now, lots to do!

Pumpkin Pie

Okay, so who loves pumpkin pie? This is one of the best things about fall! Pumpkin pie season, yummmm, my husband and I just love it! This is the second weekend now, we buy the pumpkin pie from Costco, if you haven't tried there pumpkin pie, oh boy, you're really missing out! There pie is to die for and don't let your mom say hers is better! No way, Costco makes the best pumpkin pie, so creamy and smooth! Mmmm can't wait for the next piece!
We'll I have been doing a lot of floral designs lately. I just made some beautiful t-shirts and mugs with flowers that really pop out! In bright colors and also in soft colors! I love creating flower designs they are so versatile and as I get better with my paint program, I get new ideas! I'm only using the basic paint program that comes with windows, so I may have to ask my husband for a new program for Christmas! That would really open up a new world of designing! Anyhow I shall go do some creating now! Stop by my store and see what I've been up too! Drop me a comment I'd love to chat!

Go Green


I've been very busy working on designs for my store! For the last few days I've been designing environmental t-shirts for a great team that is working hard to make a change in the environment. Being examples for young and old. One person at a time! Everyone can make a difference in what the future of the environment will look like! It might be recycling that juicebox, or cardboard, taking in the paper products and milk jugs. You might think these are small things but with everyone doing their part it can make a huge difference to our world and the world we leave to our children and grandchildren ect. I've designed shirts with a 'Go Green' theme to promote a healthier world! I've also used similar designs for mugs, magnets, stickers and other green products. Pop into my store and have a look around! You may be inspired! Have a great day!

New Features


Hello there! Let me see, what shall I chat about today! Hmmmm.... Well yesterday my husband gave me a hand with adding some new features to my store and to my blog site as well! As you will see on the right handside below my profile is a 'blog panel' this shows you samples of products from my store. If you click on one of the products you see there, it will take you to a closer view and right to my store! Has anyone else added a blog panel to a site? Did you find this was a useful tool? I thought it was a pretty cool feature and might encourage folks to check it out! Thanks to Zazzle for adding this for us! The samples change after a page refresh.
Today I am working on some floral magnet designs and continuing with some really great Christmas designs! So much to do....never enough time! :-) Have a great day!

Steppin' into Fall

Well it looks like fall has arrived! I woke up to a very wet, rainy day! I really love the fall season actually, the freshness and crispness of the air is so refreshing and I love to see all the colours of the leaves changing on the trees! Just beautiful!
I've been busy designing and coming up with new ideas for my store! I've been doing a variety of different things lately! Whenever an idea hits I just run with it and see what I can create! When I checked into my store this morning I had some new sales, so that was encouraging! I am told that sales should pick up as it gets closer to Christmas and folks are thinking about gifts for friends and family! I can't believe how the time is going so quickly.
Zazzle recently added some new features to the site, things to add to your store and some great ideas to promote traffic to our sites. Can't wait to try some out! So I better get busy on some designs, I like to try to add new items to my store several times a week. Talk to you soon!

Learning Curve

Hi all, hope everyone is having a great day! The sun is shining and it's beautiful where I am!

Well I've been busy designing and creating for Christmas items the last few days! I designed an adorable stocking that I put on a festive Christmas tie. I also used it for kids t-shirts. With this design I was able to change the color and background and it made a wonderful Baby's first Christmas postage stamp too! So versatile!
My husband calls me his "Fearless Learner" as I have been learning so much in the world of computers lately! I've learned so much just from trial and error! It wasn't long ago that I was totally scared to try new things on the computer in fear of wrecking or doing something I didn't know anything about! A couple of days ago I was able to give advice to some other new on-line store owners! They were so happy and grateful when what I explained for them to do worked! That was a really nice feeling to be able to help someone! So my husband says I have now crossed over to not only being able to figure things out myself and just try things but now I can also offer help to other new store owners! That's cool!

Time for a starbucks and I better get some creating done! ;-)

A Summer Day

Another beautiful day, it's supposed to get into the 30's today! Wow, I love a warm September but I think today it's going to be down right hot! The lawn is as green as can be and there are still lots of flowers blooming!

I've been working on some whimsical christmas designs! I designed a little tree on a base with colored ornaments! It looks great on a mug, magnet and a postage stamp that I created! I may try it on some other products as well! I can change the background colors and play with different fonts to change it up!

Christmas is well on it's way, so in my store now I will likely be adding Christmas items on a regular bases along with everyday designs as well! If you want to find that original product for a gift come and check out my zazzle store! Several great designs and items to choose from and new ones every day!

Have a great day!
