Slowly but Surely

With the holidays came craziness.   I wanted to get a bunch more animals listed so that they could all find new forever homes over the holidays but I just didn't have time.  My cleaning business became complicated and I was dealing with that instead of making and listing my creatures.  That didn't stop me from selling some siamese triplet snails though!

All my future listings will also feature a picture of the great packaging that I came up with.  It has breathing holes and paper bedding inside for their messes.  I think its hilarious.

On a personal note I now have two awesome dogs.  Xander the husky and Butters the pit bull.  Here's a cute pic:

 

I'm officially a paid artist!

I just sold my first animals! And I didn't even have everything totally up and running!  I'm excited!!!!!!  Can you tell?  I can't wait until I sell some more.  I have the greatest idea for packaging.  I'm going to put them in those boxes like they give you at the pet store with air holes and shredded paper in the bottom.  Then I will put care and feeding instructions tied to the outside with their free limb.  I think its hilarious.  Totally crack myself up.  And now it seems someone else appreciates me too!  Astonishing!

Here's the link to what just sold

3...2...1... almost liftoff!

So thanks to Kimberly of Grits and Glamour Designs (check her out here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5330731 ) I'm almost a real shop!  I love the banner she's made for me!  Just what I had in my mind.  She must be a Jedi or something.  I've been working on my photo skills with the help of my good friend Gianni and its time to start listing.

I've been hard at work the last couple nights putting creatures together and have had stuffed animal guts all over me almost constantly.  Its worse than having a real animal!  Or maybe better... depending on how you look at it :).

I've decided to give a free limb with every order.  Very exciting right?  It will be on a key chain so you can take your limb with you everywhere!  Limbs need excercise too you know.  Lots of it, every day.  This is the funnest thing I've done in a long time!

It starts!

I have joined the ranks of the bloggers. I can no longer avoid the digital age! I'm going to post all the happenings in my creative world.  This is going to be a place for communication as well!  Comments are alwasy appreciated!  I will post my newest endeavors on here as well as any sales.  I will also write up reviews about companies that I feel  are doing an excellent job and encourage you all to visit them!  As a business owner I often feel unappreciated for the endless hours of hard work that I do.  So I've decided to start the Appreciation Revolution!  Join me on my quest to find great products and services!
