Shoppe News and My Best Helper!

~ Patty Radish ~ 4 Comments

This doesn’t happen often enough, but on the day that I sold the last “Surprise Ephemera Pack” in my shoppe, somebody convo-ed and asked if I sell ephemera packs. Well, far be it from me to let an opportunity slip on by, so I got right to work, along with my trusty companion, and made some more.

…my trusty companion meaning my niece of course! It was so much more fun to have someone to chat with and bounce ideas off while putting these together.

And I have to say that she put some extra effort into making these packs a little more special by trying to match up colors. I can’t say that they are all one color, just a bit closer than I usually shoot for.

We spent the morning putting together these flower clips to dress the packages up a bit. I’m determined to get folks addicted to these flower clips whether they like it or not!

While the glue was drying on the flower clips, we set about putting the packs together. I have kind of an assembly line process for these, so I gave her a container for each group, and she distributed them.

She especially loved reading those joke playing cards as she put them in each basket. They are fishing jokes, so we spent some time trying to figure out what some of them meant. We should have asked my husband!

Well, we are leaving to visit my daughter on the east side today, but we didn’t want to neglect letting you know about the newness, and remind you that tomorrow is the last day for 15% off with the coupon code IMBACK15

Thanks for the visit,

See you next week,

Latest Journal Pages

~ Patty Radish ~ 4 Comments

I’m going to make this a short one, because my niece is visiting, and we have some craft shopping to do! I love it when she visits because all she wants to do is shop, work on art journals, and visit. Win!

She’s kind of an 11 year old mini-me, only much smarter! 🙂

Now to the “latest”…IMG_2975

Here is a page spread from a few weeks ago. There isn’t much going on, I just loved that big, fat rat so much I had to share!

I thought this was interesting. This was a page I had journaled on, but not decorated, almost exactly a year previously. I added more journaling and decorated it up a bit. IMG_2976

 Sometimes I like what’s going on on the page too much to cover it all up, so I just added some pops of color.

This is one I did this morning while my niece worked in her journal. Even though I didn’t leave room to journal, I’ll always remember this mornings art session when I look at it!

That’s it for now. I’m hoping my niece will allow me to share some of her journal pages with you this week!

Until then,

Thank you for the visit,

Have a great day,
