Char — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:16:56 +0000

Here are a few ideas and links for you to check out… and maybe a project or two to start on for the New Year: (items are linked by shop name)

Blogging in 2010…

Char — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 02:03:45 +0000

One of my New Year’s goals is to blog more. I want to share more about the crafting my mother is doing, and to share the projects I’m working on too.

I want to link up to fabulous artists and crafters at etsy.com and elsewhere. I want a dialogue to happen around here – links to DIY projects, scrapbooking, crocheting, knitting, painting… whatever we feel like doing THIS week.

One of my MOST favorite things about having a shop at etsy.com is the sense of community. There are so many wonderful people doing “their thing” at etsy – selling, buying, crafting… I’d love to talk about that more here on the ole’ blog.

What are YOUR goals for 2010? Do you blog? If so, post your link in the comments!

Finally… the winners!

Char — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:46:38 +0000

Ok, so I had a brain freeze (like two weeks long), and forgot to post winners to the recent giveaways! OOPS!

So… the winner of the pot holder and towel is KIM.

And the winner of the free photo card design is KORI.

You both have email

Stay tuned for more fun craft chat soon!

Another Giveaway…

Char — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:59:25 +0000

As I mentioned earlier today in another post, this week is Fall Giveaway Carnival time over at Heavenly Homemakers.

How about ANOTHER giveaway??

This giveaway is for a A CUSTOM PHOTOCARD OR ANNOUNCEMENT:

How does a FREE photocard design sound? Besides blogging about crafts (and digital scrapbooking), I also run a digital scrapbook/graphic design business. I offer a variety of products, like birth announcements, save the date cards, graduation announcements, wall art, and more.

You can see sample cards up close over at my etsy shop.

Buy Handmade
delightdesign

And, this first giveaway is for a CUSTOM design. The cards can be 4×6, 5×7, or 4×8 size (or any size you request, actually!)

Need your Christmas cards done this year? No problem! Need a birth announcement? No problem. Need a party invitation? NO problem! I’ll create what YOU want and need!

This is for the digital design – so you’ll need a way to print them once I email you the design in JPG format, but there are so many options nowadays for printing – Walmart, Walgreens, Snapfish.com, Winkflash.com… and it’s so affordable to print your own!

So, click over to my shop for a minute, check out the designs, and then just leave a comment about your favorite photocard sample , and you’ll be entered to win!

I’ll pick ONE random winner through at the end of this week! Please remember to leave your email address. If you win, I’ll need to have a way to contact you!

A SALE…

Char — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:50:35 +0000

So, yesterday was my birthday.. 37 years young! I was actually out of town for half the day, as I had flown to California for a wedding shower on Saturday. It was a very interesting way to spend my birthday… half in California, half on an airplane, half at home. (Yes, I know that’s too many halves, but I’m a graphic designer, not a mathmetician).

Anyway… I’m CELEBRATING my birthday all month long with a great big sale in my DelightDesign shop.

Because it’s my 37th birthday, I’m offering my CUSTOM photo card design services for 37% OFF.

Normally $15… Now $9.45!

The sale lasts for the entire month, but I recommend getting your order in soon!

And… if you are interested in taking advantage of the Birthday Sale, but aren’t QUITE ready to have your photo card made – THAT’S OK! Just make your purchase now, and then let me know when you are ready to have the card designed.

Any questions, just let me know!!

A Giveaway!!

Char — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:43:34 +0000

It’s Fall Giveaway Carnival time over at Heavenly Homemakers, and we’re going to join in with a few giveaways this week!

First up is a lovely green towel and potholder set from Cheryl of MyCraftBooth.etsy.com

To enter to win, just leave a comment on this post – tell us if you’d use this for you OR give it as a gift?

We’ll pick one random winner at the end of the week and post again!

Friday Fun Finds…

Char — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:00:12 +0000

I’m leaving…on a jet plane… don’t know when I’ll be back again…

Ok, that’s not completely true. I AM leaving.. on a jet plane… but I DO know when I’ll be back. That would be Sunday… the 4th… also known as MY BIRTHDAY!

And I’ll be back here to talk all about the BIG SALE that starts on Sunday evening.

In the meantime, how about a few more Fun Finds?
