End of Spring Sale

Hi!

This is just a short little post to let you know that I am having an "End of Spring Sale" over at my eBay store (www.anascards.com). Everything listed in the store is 15% off from June 1st to June 15th at midnight. Items listed in Auction format do not qualify for this sale, however, starting bids are low, so take a peek and you might find something just for you.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Monday...I sure did! So, now go an enjoy the rest of the week. Blessings.

Today I said good-bye to my shoulder-length bob...and traded it for a chin-length-angled-bob, which turned out fantastic!!! And why am I SO excited about this haircut? Well, simply because it's just what I wanted. When I moved from Texas to North Carolina, not only did I leave behind some family and friends but also my amazingly-talented hairstylist Olga, who was the creator of my trademark super short-spiky-pixie hairstyle.
Once, in North Carolina it became evident after a couple of not-so-great-haircuts that my super short-spiky-pixie hair was going to be hard to keep. "The Bob" had been one of my favorite hairstyles in the past and so, I decided to go for that look.
Well, "The Bob" got too long, it was still cute but it needed some pizazz and to be out of my face! The next step was to find the right person for the job. I followed my intuition to this place we've driven by before. I knew that I'd found the right place when I watched 2 ladies get the perfect short and long Pixie! ...The rest is history...
OK, almost history...I have to mention that the satisfaction of finding a hairstylist that shared my vision and who was willing to go that extra mile to make sure that I was totally and completely satisfied with my new hairstyle was just...priceless. In a time where Customer Service seems to be taking a back seat... I was impressed by the courtesy, interest and service of my new found Salon. Thank You Cara!

Thank You Honey!

Update

Hello Everyone,
I know that I have once again been abscent here at blogger and my eBay store. There has been a family matter that needed my full attention and still does. However, I am making a great effort to get back in to "creative mode" and allow my creative juices to flow again. With that said, you will find new creations listed in my store in the next day or so.
Also, I will be listing a large amount of new and gently used rubber stamps. Moving is the main reason that these cherished stamps have to find a new home. I really don't have much space for them and the extra money will most definitely be put to good use.
As always, a special thanks goes out to my special clients that have sent words of encouragement and good wishes. I Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

"All we'll ever have is NOW"
Make the best of it!

Oh it's Monday!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We had a nice time at Grandma's house. MissK and Grandma painted eggs on Saturday. I've been spending sometime at my LSS, setting up the new merchandise and preparing for some new classes.
I'd like to write and create more, but it is hard to do so when times are rough...My heart aches.

Button Night

This past Wednesday, Kelly and I spent some crafty time together making clay buttons. We made lots of them. Unfortunately, many broke before we painted them and many more after we painted them. But, I was really giving them the "how-easily-could-they-brake" test. It was my very first time working with clay, so this was pretty much an experiment. I just did not think that so many would brake and so easily. We both were sort of disappointed at how many had broke, but we still had fun painting them and placed a few around the computer screen and others on the wall around a picture.

When I went to bed that night, I was determined to find out what I'd done wrong....Then,last night, I got more clay and decided to give it one more try. Kelly was with daddy and I thought this was the best time to do it. So, I looked a the instructions again, and read them a few times. Then, I realized that I'd baked the first batch at the wrong temperature!!! Oh, how could I've missed that? Easy, I was too excited to do this project with MissKelly the other day and miss read the instructions or simply it was all my ADD's fault.

So, I baked more at the right temperature this time and after they cooled off, I gave them that test again and I'm happy to say that, they are sturdy and although some did brake, you'd have to really put some pressure to brake them. After MissKelly got home last night, I gave her the good news but, since it was way past her bed time, we planned on making buttons tonight.

Here's the Spot

Well, as promised...Here's a picture of my new spot. This place is packed with all kinds of arts and crafts. It's located downtown and it has pretty high traffic, which is very good. Last spring/summer we had a booth at another location but that particular one I shared with my husband and father-in-law...this time it'll be just ME! I'm very, very excited about it. Mmmmm...about those shelves...I'll be changing those as well as the green fabric, however, they'll do for now. I'd to move 'pronto' because there was somebody else wanting that spot. Soon, I'll post new pictures once they shelves are nice and stocked.

I'm keeping my posts short and sweet, because my 'To Do' list is usually about a mile long!

Have fun enjoy today and scrap-happy when you can!
Ana
