Getting Ready for a Show

Well, I am frantically getting ready for a show tomorrow that has 85 crafters. That's a lot!! I'm wondering whether it will be worth my time, I'm committed and will put a smile on my face. I have had too many good things happen this week to let negative thoughts creep into brain. I've had 2 small sales on etsy, a sale is a sale, being in the Timothy Adams Top Ten of Etsy this week and now I have a possible wedding invitation paper commission! I am very happy with these possibilities. Plus, on Wednesday, a day off, I have learned that there is a papermaking studio and letterpress/printing studio in my town. Yippeee!

Plus I am sharing my space, down the right side with other etsy artists! Want to share? Contact me!

I'm happy and nervous and excited and sad about my son's graduation. I have to voice/type these feelings so that I can calm down. He's is so talented and will do great in college.

PS. Don't forget to choose your favorite paper from the 3 pics below. I'll send the winner their favorite card.

Cattail Stationery Contest

I am having my first contest on my blog site. Look at my site and tell me your favorite item here or at my etsy site at http://www.paintingpam.etsy.com/ and comment on your favorite product. The contest starts tonight and will end on February 7. My son will select the winner from all comments left on my site. Make sure I can contact you.

The winner will receive 5 handmade paper notecards with cattail seeds in the pulp. A sizing has been added to the pulp so you may write on the paper and send a special note to a friend, family member or teacher. Look at the photo for the gift.
