Just Goin' For It...

Just a note to say that I haven't forgotten about my blog. I've just been completely and totally busy with...

Starting my card business! Yes, folks. You will soon be able to order "50 of those" if you so choose. Right now I am starting with Christmas/Holiday cards. The other night I came up with 10 designs after Grey went to bed. After drawing them, I said, "Let's do this shizz. Life's short. I want to make some cash!"

Beauregard wholeheartedly agreed.

So...pics to come soon. I just went to the printer and approved the proofs. They're now being printed...2500 of them. Wow. It's a little scary and a LOT exciting to finally be doing this! The cards will come in packs of 10, sealed in biodegradable clear plastic bags. That was a MUST for me. I really didn't want to put more plastic out into the world, but I knew I needed some sort of protective covering, and I found some wonderful products at www.clearbags.com

I love it that you can compost the plastic sleeve! YAY!

Alrighty, have to go do stuff while my extremely fussy and teething human boy naps. I'm the most excited EVER! I shall write more entertaining blogs when I get a chance, but I just wanted to "put it out to the Universe" that yes...yes, I AM following/chasing/designing this dream for myself.

Anybody want to help me stuff bags full of cards? Because I'll need help with that. :)

p.s. $20 for a pack of 10 cards. Seems reasonable enough to me...especially since they're AWESOME.

    1.) I'm super happy about this bc I fell in love with your cards when you had a few out last Christmas (and I laughed out loud reading about your bitter Valentine's cards).
    2.) I can NOT be a bigger fan of doing what you want and making your own existence/destiny/creation/life.
