Custom hand-painted Vintage Roses sign and flowers

I came across Tami's beautiful work while browsing through Etsy Cottage Style site a couple of days ago and some of her work was featured there. Her work immediately caught my attention, there are soooo many beautiful works from her, they are just pure exquisite and looks to be very delicate workmanship. I then ordered a custom hand-painted sign from her and she replied to me immediately and had the sign finished in a day! What an angel! And to top it off, I received the sign from the US really really fast!

I am in love with the sign, it's so perfect and dainty! Just what I wanted!

Looks beautiful hanging on my wall (for now) with my lovely bouquet of flowers from Bryan.

Do check out Tami's store at www.pinkbuttercreme.etsy.com or her blog at www.pinkbuttercreme.blogspot.com which features her lovely hand-painted items.

Turn Your Creative Hobby Into a Business

I purchased this book a couple of days ago and just finished reading it. It is written by Meg Mateo Ilasco who is a designer, writer and illustrator. I was in the bookstore looking for a book like this and it has everything a crafter needs to know. It is a very resourceful book to have; from beginning to end, it covers aspects of choosing a craft to suit you, including time management, packaging, selling and marketing. I also love the layout and design of this book. There are awe inspiring quotes in this book to get the could-be crafter in you wondering 'what if' and all the possibilities you could dream of, of one day turning your love of creating and making things into a business you can be proud of.

"Some people will like your product and some people won't, but the most important thing is that you like it". Ilasco, p.52.

Well, I've finally got my name card templates ready to be printed! Beth from 5Star Design in Etsy helped me in creating my pretty new name cards. Thanks so much Beth!
