Tuesday's Teasers

Here is a look at some new items in A Blond And A Torch!

Yesterday I was accepted to Trunkt! I was so very happy because I have heard about so many people getting rejected. I applied at the urging of a friend, but I had zero expectations. Imagine my surprise!

Then I saw that I was in my first Trunkt showcase! Wheeeeeeee!

So of course I encourage others to try that were too afraid to! It isn't so hard after all!

Come visit me on Trunkt!

Take care,

On The Road Again

Sorry I have been neglecting this blog! I have been out of town this past week doing some important things and I will be leaving again tomorrow for a few days.

Hopefully I will be able to get back on track soon!


Have a great week!

My New Light Tent!

Yay! I am so excited!

I went to Hand Held Items and bought this mini studio!
It comes with the light tent, two lights, a camera holder and a cool carrying case.

I can't wait to use it! So stay tuned and check my shop because hopefully I will have some great photos coming soon!

Have a great Tuesday!

Lucy-Goosey

My dogs are crazy. But my Lucy is always really cracking me up.

I think she is trying to tell me something. She dragged their old swimming pool up to the back patio and has been sleeping in it.

What do you think she is trying to say?

Hello there, Beautiful Greetings!

One of the great things about Etsy is every time you look you will find a store you have never seen before. I found one today and it is fabulous. The name of the shop is Beautiful Greetings Card Shoppe.

I got a chance to speak with the owner, Peggy Russell and I would like to share the experience with you:

1. What is it that you make? I make handcrafted greeting cards for many occasions. I also do special orders for invitations and list gift tags. 2. What mediums do you enjoy working in most? I love to stamp. I usually make my stamps 3 dimensional and watercolor them for a soft effect. I always add glitter for a little sparkle! I am a glitter-aholic! 3. How long have you been creating your craft? I have been making cards for almost 8 years now. It has been a growing hobby for me and now is a lucrative passion. 4. How did you get started making cards? I started making cards when one of my best friends asked me to help her with her wedding invitations. I loved it so much that I ran out to buy my own supplies. I have definitely improved over the years but I still try new things all the time! 5. Where does the name of your shop come from? Last year I participated in a large Christmas bazaar. The application asked for a booth name and after much contemplation, Beautiful Greetings was born. 6. What would you most want people to know about your work? I make each card completely unique. My cards are never exactly the same unless ordered that way. I always add something extra to my cards such as 3-d characters, hardware, ribbon and of course glitter! 7. What words of advice do you have for other artists? Nothing feels better than selling your craft, especially if you love making them. Knowing that others love your work as much as you do is so fulfilling! Please take a minute and check out Peggy's shop, Beautiful Greetings. You will be so glad that you did! Whatever the occasion, Peggy has something special just for you! -Jen
