I started my 2009 with Tea and Cupcakes

I started my 2009 with many good intentions personal for me and my family and I have also taken up the good habit of crafting.
Some time ago in this post, I talked about hand carved stamp! I like a lot and I also like them, I enjoy very much. I created these cups and this Cupcake to personalize the card accompanying the Travel Tea Bags, which have their certificate with a theme poem attached.




2008 ended with a great December and I want to thanks for it! I have also always been very careful to spoil the recipient of my creations, and this coming year I want to continue on this road! In fact, I have a give away for those who grab a moleskine's notebook cover at my Dawanda or Etsy: these colorful handmade notebooks combined with moleskine's cover!! Isn't it nice? This you see here is going to a happy customer.











That's all for now!

They're back to school, we're back to work!

School is beguns today. My boyfriend Daughter is 13 this year, and begins the third class of the secondary school. I'm really impressed how they change quickly at this age, only last year she seems like a child, this year she's a little beautiful girl that's going at the last year of secondary school, and next year is already at the Highschool.

As they go to school, we come back to our things. So, I have to share some news.

Do you remember about the Diary 2009 Project?! Well the diary is already printed and turned out great, it's available for purchase at the Fantazya site, you can order the book, CD or CD by email.

Etsy... well, it's hard to get through there... but I don't throw in the sponge :) I belong to the European Street Team, we are partecipating to a Secret Santa for Xmas, :) I was with the first filled the questionaire, so we get a special treasury for that by Artmind:

And thank you also to Mirth that has doing a great job with the European Street Team on Google Map!



So, I'm out of lazyness and make some new stuff, one is already at Dawanda Shop, but more have to come :)





Have a nice night.

I really love to make my customer happy, and sometimes I'm inspired by they're suggestion, for this one the customer has asked the cover without the pen slot, and I must say that this is even more beautiful! Thank you!

The Diary 2009 Project -- Update

As I mentionated in this post I took part to The Diary 2009 Project, I finished drawing my pages and sent out to Fantazya. I cant wait to have the diary on hands, I want to buy a copy for me too, and maybe also the CD.

Well, those two are the pages designed by me.

The Diary 2009 Project

My Moleskine is full of "to do" listings this week. I take notes of all those things I found interesting and I want to post in here during the week-end. One of this is The Diary 2009 Project that Fantazya is running.
The Diary will be designed by at least 365 artists and crafters around the world. All of them are web sellers o crafters with blog, flickr etc. and you can reach them by their webpage adress on the bottom of their page. Each page correspond to a date...

I'm partecipating, and still designing my two pages, I've got 4 february and 20 december 2009.

New shelfs in my studio and new book and magazines

That's All for now, I'm going to spend my sunday with DH and parents, so I've to go to bake the bread. :)
