Handmade Cavalcade @ Chelsea Market Dec.5&6 2015

Hello Friends,


Well I've finally put away my Halloween decorations and moved right into Thanksgiving and Christmas preparations. The holidays always seem so far until, well, it's the night before and you're scrambling around the supermarket at midnight looking for cranberry sauce or scotch tape.  Does this happen to you too, or is it just me?

Well this year I'm trying to narrow my focus to two big projects: handmade Christmas cards of course - mailed prior to January 2016, now that's the challenge, AND making new journals, cards and ornaments for... the EtsyNY Team: HANDMADE HOLIDAY CAVALCADE happening at Chelsea Market in New York City this December 5th & 6th!!!!!

I'm so excited to be part of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, tell me, what are your plans for the upcoming holidays?  Is this the year you'll make all your gifts or start a new tradition on your block?  I'd love to hear.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

One of my favorite movies of all times by the magical & wonderful Tim Burton.

Remember as a kid when Halloween and Christmas were two distinct holidays and now....all the big box stores have the two side by side.  Candy corn and candy reindeer poop.  It used to kind of bug me but....now I'm guilty of having both holidays coexist.

Surrounded by Halloween decorations and after a good pumpkin picking session I set down to sketch out a mini painting of where I'm super excited to be selling this December, the Chelsea Market as part of the wonderful Etsy NY Team.

I couldn't be more excited!  So while I'm planning outings to pumpkin patches and filling goody bags for Trick-or-Treaters I'm humming Christmas tunes as well.

What are you up to this time of year?

Older Card Designs

Hi All!

I was just organizing some photos and found these cards I made sometime in early 2010.  I hope they inspire you in your own crafting endeavors!
