This is Bert and he's a snowman. He's new and in my shop. Yep.

I re-shot the reindeer and cookie people photos so they aren't so boring. Crazy busy! Don't forget about the Big Giveaway starting on my Blog Anniversary on Friday November 12th, 2010.

WIP that's slowly coming along.

Gingerbread people, snow people, reindeer, Santa and the Mrs: cut out, laid out and bits and parts sewn. A very long way to go! Thought you'd like another peek.

 A pile of arms and antlers and some legs.

I had to break out the holiday buffet table!

Sigh! So much and so little time!

My Very First Giveaway!

You probably already guessed that the giveaway would be these cute cards I just spent so much time making...and you are correct!

As you can see by this picture I need a lightbox so I'll also post the digital file at the end of this so you can get a clearer idea of the cuteness factor.

There are 5 designs; Snowman, Reindeer, Christmas Tree, Santa and Mrs. Claus. The cards measure 5.5" x 4.25" and are printed on a lovely, thick, linen card stock. They will come with matching A2 sized white envelopes. You will win the entire set of 5 cards.

O.k. to play: 1. follow my blog and leave a comment below telling me you followed and also which character from the cards you like best. 2. If you already follow me, let me know that and leave a comment. Simple, simple...I won't make you jump through hoops for a chance to win. Good Luck!Contest will end Sunday December 6th.

I've been working on a secret project

For the last few days I've been working in secret on a special project. After I made the little felt ornaments I just listed in my etsy shop I thought "wouldn't these be cute as graphics for stationery"?After all that's what I do (I'm a sassy stationery gal!). Although I kind of did this backward since I usually draw something out first then make a little felt thingy.


So off to the computer I dashed and I'm really very pleased by how they came out. But now I'm thinking I should make bigger plush Santa & friends with more details than my simple ornaments. See how my mind jumps from thing to thing! ADD at it's worst here. No wonder I have such a hard time getting things done for my etsy shop! I must restrain myself and save that idea for next year since I running so late on this idea! But hey when the creative juices flow you gotta go with it even if the timing isn't always right.


By now you're probably saying "shut up already and show us the secret project!" So here it is.

I made 5.5" x 4.25" flat cards from the graphics. I have the snowman, reindeer, Santa, Mrs. Claus and the Christmas tree. I'll be offering these on etsy as soon as I figure out the details.

Check back tomorrow for a giveaway! You'll love it I promise!

Also please leave comments letting me know what you think of the cards and the graphics. I really want to know what you think.

Ho, ho, holidays are coming!

I've been spending the morning working on some holiday promo stickers for the business. They are photos of little felt ornaments that I designed and made myself. I intend to use these on my shipping packages and may possibly include some tags of a similar design inside the package.

My original goal was to make these little ornaments to sell on etsy. But time has gotten away from me again this year and I'm not feeling very confident that they would sell. So I thought they would be perfect for promos and possibly to sell to other sellers with their business info. If anyone is interested please just let me know.

I'm also thinking about having a giveaway of one of the actual ornaments just after Thanksgiving, to spread a little holiday cheer.

Holiday Ornaments Prototypes

This is a terrible picture but I took a quick shot to show some holiday ornament ideas I've been working on. These are done in the new eco-felt that's made from recycled water bottles. I'm all about recycling and I love felt so it's perfect.

I'm opening an etsy store for a new idea I had to turn some of my stationery designs into felt pins and ornaments, etc. The gingerbread people is a design I've had for a while (reminds me of the cookie cutter we used when I was a child) but never put on cards. The ball ornament is the same design I have on cards and stickers in my ebay store right now. I have them in red, blue, green, yellow, purple and pink.

I also have a sweet idea for a baby's First Christmas ornament. Lots of designs for beyond the holidays too. I'll put a link once I get my store up and running. If you see anything in my ebay store you'd like to see turned into felt, let me know too. http://www.thesassypackrat.com/
