Playing Catch-Up

As most of you who have stopped by my blog in the past month or so, I am sure you have noticed that I have not been keeping up with postings as much as I would like to, and somewhere in the midst of it all, Life took over. There are SO many updates and wonderful news to share with you all & I hope that this posting (...and the MANY more to come) will make up for my neglect!

First off... you can NOW shop Domestic Goddess Creations on Etsy.com!!! I opened up the shop in January and am proud to say that since doing so I have sent orders to Washington, Texas, Colorado and even Spain! I am an internantional seller! :) It may not be exciting to most, but for me... it was an accomplishment full of pure joy!

Jennifer Porter Designs has been a HUGE help with all of my logos, business cards and product tags. She does some amazing work and is wonderful to work with! If you are a business owner, or just admire adorable design you have to take a look at her work! She is an amazingly talented graphic artist! http://jenniferporterdesigns.com/

Along with trying to establish a business... I have been working non-stop on new designs, event and party planning as well as completing and shipping orders. I never knew how much work it takes to balance it all! Through the past 2 months, I have always had the blog in the back of my mind. Telling myself "Ok...Jennifer, tonight you need to sit down and catch-up on the blogging world" I always tell myself that I am going to... but somehow it continues to get pushed to the bottom of the list EVERY time! So HERE I am, it is now nearly April, but i'm actually doing it!!

another rainy day...

It's another rainy day here in Southern California... so what better day to stay inside by the fire, with a warm cup of hot chocolate and craft! I found these adorable cardboard die-cut signs at Michael's last week in the dollar section and just couldn't pass them by!

I had a great idea of making these cardboard cut-out's into decorative signs to hang in my friend's little girls bedroom. So I broke out the Martha Stewart glitter and got to work!

I started out by placing the cardboard cut-out onto an oversized cardstock card.(this makes cleaning up excess glitter much easier!) Using a foam craft brush & Tacky Glue, I then brushed a thin & even coat of glue over each letter, brushing the glue in the same direction (from left to right).

TIP: let the glue sit for about a min. so that the glue has time to set up and become "tacky" to really adhere to the glitter.

After the glittering was complete, I set both die-cut's aside to dry.

Finish off by embellishing with some Martha Stewart Silk Ribbon and it's now ready to hang up and add a little touch of whimsy to any room!
