Linda gives us the word “rest” to use in our SoCS today. Not gonna lie, I will not be getting too much rest the next week or so and I’m pretty happy about that. Today I have a pop-up craft show at our local mall which, sadly, has been sold and will be razed in the next couple years to make room for what they are calling “biotech campus and housing.” Not quite sure what that means but I’ll bet I’m not going to be able to buy groceries or clothes like I can now. However, the mall is not gone yet so I have a chance to showcase my newest cards and boxes.
I made two new exploding boxes for Easter.
And I made some new cards too.
As if that’s not enough busy, I also got some transcription work in, about 4 hours worth, which I should say for those of you who don’t do typing like this, one hour of audio time equals 3 to 4 hours of typing time! Honestly though, this is the best kind of busy for me. I love making things and sharing them and the typing keeps the funds coming in so I can continue to do it.
How about you? Busy this week? Like these cards and boxes? If they don’t sell today they’ll be listed in the Etsy shop or I can make one special for you, just saying.

That box is amazing! I’m so happy you made a video so we could see how it worked. What a great way to give a gift to someone.

Thanks Janis! I’ve been trying to make more videos because a lot of my products are interactive.

Oh, I love people who make cards, love receiving homemade ones but do not have the patience to do it myself. But this world needs both of us. Lovely post.

Thanks! I made some sales but I will still have some to list on Etsy. Of course, half the fun is making more, right?

You’re welcome. That’s good you have another place to share them for purchase. If I had all the tools like you do, I’d make more too.
PS – I forgot to say, WOW, that’s a LOT of typing you do. Way to go. I type throughout the day too, but not steady, how do you do it?!

I have a lot of shortcuts that I can use, especially on some of the routine things I type. It is really a time/finger saver!

That’s good you have some short-cuts. I’m very impressed though. You use your hands a lot – to create and to work. Keeps them healthy and strong!

Not a busy week as much as a worrying one. I kept busy in my own way. I hope your show is a rousing success.

Yes, definitely a somber week. I sometimes feel guilty for getting on with life when there is so much hurt in the world but if I stopped doing what I was doing, who would that help? I had pretty good sales yesterday. Still have some left for the Etsy store. 🙂

That wouldn’t be Fashion Island, would it? That was pretty much a dead mall twenty years ago.
Nice cards and boxes!

Not Fashion Island but that has undergone some changes too! This one is Tanforan in San Bruno where the old racetrack/Japanese Internment used to be.
