Cupcake cards

I am hard at work on my Fun in the Sun Project, but I had to take a little break to make up some cute cards!

From doing a little research I have heard mixed opinions about mailing quilled cards. Some say they can, some say they can't. So I thought I would test out that theory by mailing 2 cards to a volunteer. I sent one card in a regular envelope, and sent a second one in a small bubble mailer. Hopefully one will reach her intact! Once she receives them she will take pics for me, so I can see how they held up. I really want to offer some cards in my shop, but I have a feeling they will only be available for people who hand cards to their recipients. When I get the results I will let you know!!


Meanwhile, here is what I came up with:

For a true test I wanted to make sure I had some different coils. Some tight and close, some with a little space, and just one long strip.

Here is a close up shot of the cupcake:

Wouldn't this be the cutest birthday card? I really hope they hold up in the mail, I had so much fun putting these cards together!

Around the House Gift Guide

OK, I had to take a couple days off from my Gift Guides due to my husband and kids all being home this weekend. :) So now I am back and ready to go!

Today we are going to see what Cyber Monday Storenvy Flash sale has to offer for Around the House.

My first pick would be this lovely handmade Large Owl Rug - Rope Rug by Twisted Thread and Hook

This would be a great addition to any room in your house, and I can't get enough owls!

Next on my list would be this Deluxe Wine Set by Mystic Eye Creations.

I am known to enjoy a bottle of wine after the kiddos go to bed, and I think this set would be perfect for any wine lover!

Along with the Wine Set, I think these Multicolored Chevron Coaster Set by Sweet Pepper Parties would be a great addition.

I can just see me now, my wine time would be heaven with all the accessories!

Lastly I can't forget my Husband. He loves to cook and I think these Star Wars Comic Pot Holders by Poppy's Garden Gate would be a great gift for him!

I can imagine him using these exclusively, and never touching the other pot holders in our house!

These items are just a small sample of the products offered in the Storenvyflash30 sale happening on Cyber Monday, December 2, 2013. For a complete list of shops click here. All stores will have 30% off for the entire day, just use the code storenvyflash30.

Coffee Lovers Gift Guide

I am participating in a HUGE Storenvy Sale on Cyber Monday. Not only am I having all items in my shop at 30% off, so are 50 other stores!! With all these shops having a sale, I thought I would show you some of the items on my wishlist, and also to give you some great gift ideas.

I am starting off with Coffee. I love coffee. I can not start my day without at least 2 cups. Even my kids know to only ask me yes or no questions until I am done! So, as I was browsing I came across some perfect gifts for the coffee lovers on your list.

We will start out with Scrawny Girl's Kawaii Latte Love Mixed Media Original Painting

This would be a perfect painting to hang above the coffee maker and stare at the calming colors until you can wake up fully. I love mixed media art, and really enjoy seeing different textures. I really think this would look lovely in everyone's coffee corner!

Next we move onto the drinking experience. I get really upset at having to wait until my cup cools enough to hold it. The best part of the wait is to put your nose down close and take a really deep sniff. Only drinking coffee wakes me up faster than smelling it. So to be able to hold onto that cup right after it has been poured you need a Braided Cozy by Fairy Tale Accessories.

Look at all the colors you can choose from!! Not only are they pretty, you don't have to worry at wasting all those paper sleeves anymore. Just throw your cozy in your purse and show off your amazing reusing skills at the local coffee shop.

Now we move onto those delicious smells I was going on about earlier. Playa Blu can have you or your coffee loving friends enjoying the smell all day long with this Cup O' Joe Candle and Mug Rug

I would get the cafe caramel or cafe mocha scent. The best part of this candle is it is made from Palm and Soy wax, with a cotton or hemp candle wick, which are all non-toxic.

Ok, these are just some of my favorite items from this HUGE Storenvy sale! So this is a big HINT HINT to those with me on their lists! If you would like to see all the shops participating click here.
