Something for Me & My Winners

I finished up this hand-bound Coptic journal in class last week. It is for myself. I noticed that I was taking my notes (blog or marketing notes etc.) on a spiral notebook from Target. I thought "I make journals, what an outrage!" I chose a paper with my favorite motifs: hearts, stars, and skulls & crossbones. I added exactly 13 signatures to this journal on purpose. It seemed fitting.

Also, congrats to Liz and Ann, my winners! Liz signed up for my email newsletter at the Etsy Dallas Spring Bash, and won the journal I raffled off to the new subscribers that day. Ann won the Cupcake Pen Giveaway by signing up for my newsletter on my blog. Thanks so much for your support of indie businesses like mine!

I plan to light a candle at 3pm today to honor all those who have served in the military. Happy Memorial Day!

We have a winner!

Congrats to Bridgette of Allen, TX for winning the Japanese Branch Book! Everyone that signed up for my newsletter at the Funky Finds Spring Fling last weekend was entered in the raffle. If you signed up, you will be receiving my newsletter very soon.

My newsletter includes updates on my new work, upcoming shows, coupons, freebies, and more! I've added a sign-up form to the right-hand tool bar, and will be announcing an online sign-up raffle soon.

I will be raffling off another one of my hand-bound journals at the Etsy Dallas Spring Bash on May 16, 2009 at South Side on Lamar. Hope to see you there!
