Weekend Wrap-Up TEASER

 Thanks for everyone who came out to UNIQUE LA this weekend!!! 

We had the most wonderful weekend and really enjoyed this year's show. I am going to post my first "haul video" of items I purchased so stay tuned for videos and more details.

I have been uploading pictures Kevin took with the slr onto our Flickr Page and I have to dump my point and shoot/ cell phone tomorrow. I had an exhausting day of regrouping, moving and organizing today and I still have some things hidden from myself :/  I can't hardly keep my eyes open which isn't helpful when I so badly want to add all kinds of updates. Things are swimming today! But if I walk downstairs one more time I don't think I am coming back up. So sleepy!

I have had a ton of inquires about the PBR Reinbeers so it looks like I need to make another batch of those suckers before its too late to ship for Christmas, but that is honestly the tip of the iceberg...

I must go to bed before I work myself up-

XOXO, KC

Good Friday

Yippee For FRIDAY!!! Plus, It is EARTH DAY and Good Friday- Even better!

What did everyone else do today for Earth Day? Or Good Friday?  I wonder if there are places doing a super combo of the two today- that would be awesome!!!

 

 I made sure to take some time today to go out and soak up some sun. The biggest bummer for my computer being out is that I can't use our SLR at the moment.  I am going to have to either put the software on the laptop or wait until we get the new computer before I can utilize some new pictures.  We found out that the new iMac is about to come out so now is not the best time to buy one... 

Back on topic- While on the walk I got some new pictures of the Seed Paper Tags that can be found at our booth at Unique LA.  As seen in the above picture, we have made them in the shape of California  and the seeds on this variety grow flowers that attracts butterflies. 

I have been finishing up cleaning and organizing the house for my trip and I got out my luggage today.  Tomorrow I have some errands and then I have to make sure to start printing out business cards.  I hope that I get on the computer some this next week and can post and check e-mail, but my mom doesn't have the internet... (I know right! It is the truth.  I am supposed to give her some computer lessons while home so that she can get on the internet for e-mail,Lol)

Fingers crossed that I can make it all week being so far from Kevin :( It is going to be a long week not doing my regular routine plus not seeing everyone/ my husband is going to be tough.

Best Wishes to all!

XOXO,

KC

Fave Finds

Besides the ominous unpacking that is dominating my life at the moment, I have been trying to peruse the internet for some of my favorite finds on-line.  Here are some great things that have peaked my interest: 
Mushrooms are totally not within my flavor favorites, but these mushrooms are visually delicious!  

 I am in awe of Absinthe and Orange's blog and am so excited to check on their great tutorials often.  Make the mushrooms above with this great tutorial-

THANK GOODNESS we don't live in the Bay Area because I would accumulate even more great stuff than I have already at The East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse! I am overwhelmed and excited about all the possibilities to be held within all their great materials, and just glancing over their What's New list gets me pumped up for the day I can get up there for a visit :) 

I really like the way they have organized all their supplies in these two pictures and I think I am going to strive to start the organization to our NEW studio in this great fashion

I have been collecting tons of cans to put to good use and I give great props to the top example of using them for a great storage solution-

We have been busy trying to figure out which on-line endeavors are the best to suit our needs and there are so many new things to "help" you out and maximize our time...  It takes time to figure out how to navigate each new thing.  Flickr is one of the programs that I LOVE the community and the opportunity to use and find great pictures.  I don't think we are using it to the fullest potential possible, so I will be posting tons of finds as we grasp all the possibilities!!!

I came across an amazing Flickr user Seaotter22.  I am going to bookmark her clever info and great pictures that illustrate and depict the great messages that we all should be mindful of- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rot and her Environmental set are awesome!

I love the way she can carry the message so perfect in one picture

On my perusing of the Daily Green website I discovered the "Ecopedia"- the A to Z of everything GREEN.  I love the idea that they have an Environmental Glossary and I am bookmarking it for reference. 

I haven't figured out a great tutorial for tomorrow, I think we will share some highlights of some that have given us inspiration- and highlight some great artists we enjoy :)

Posted my first set of pictures to Flickr of our "Fan Mail" for Mail Monday.

The photos were submitted by my dear friend Jessica Lloyd who is a wonderful source of inspiration and motivation for me. I am hoping this will be the first post of many illustrating our Pen Pall Adventure :)
