About My Openhouse!

So I realized that I hadn't updated you all on how my openhouse went. So here's the update!!
I was very pleased with how it turned out. I didn't have many people come, BUT I had a 100% sale rate, so I can't complain about that!! Also I got a 4 custom orders to keep me busy!! So all in all I would say it was a successful first openhouse. Hopefully I will have many more to come!
Here are a couple of pictures of my display. They aren't the best pictures, but it gives you an idea of how I had everything set up.

I Won Again!!

Man do I love giveaways, especially when I win!! I entered a giveaway from My Watercolor Dreams and won a free print of one of her original water color paintings. I chose "Laundry Day" because she makes laundry day seem like such a happy thing, and in my world it is NOT!! So I figured that I would hang it up in my laundry area to cheer me up when I am doing the dreaded chore of laundry!!


Check out this great shop for more fabulous water color paintings!!

I LOVE Trades!!

So a couple of weeks ago I did my first trade with this amazing shop: Adorn
I traded her a necklace and bracelet set for these adorable bows for my baby girl!!
Pink Korker Bow
Little Lady in Red
Dark Pink Gerbera Daisy




I love these bows, and am so excited for my baby girl to be born so that I can use them!! Make sure you check out this shop for more cute, cute bows and things!!
