Christmas Eve mischief

I've been right into the spirit of Christmas today, much to Mary's dismay!

She is delighted to have me home for the holidays really! 

Big news!!

So yesterday I went on a very exciting mission to begin something very exciting at Purrfect Papercraft! I went into town and I took a selection of 10 birthday cards and 10 Christmas cards and I sold them to the owner of a shop called Upside Down Presents at 61 Side. :D I can't even put into words how excited I feel about having my cards in a local shop, or how strange it feels knowing someone else will be selling them to people I will never meet!

Hopefully this will be the beginning of something amazing :)

Christmas is starting early this year.

I have spent the last two evenings sitting in the middle of a crafty mess and using all of my new Christmas papers and embellishments and washi tapes - oh what fun I have had! All of these cards will be making their way to Upside Down Presents within the week and will be gracing their shelves along side some other wonderful products from local artists and crafters alike. Happy days :)

 SO ... if you are in the local area and you have a spare few minutes why not pop into the shop and have a little look at my cards and the other fun wares on sale. If you buy a Purrfect Papercraft card I'd love to get some feedback from you :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I've made a start with Christmas crafts and I have to tell you, it feels good! :) I've bought new supplies at a fair I attended a few weeks ago and I've made my first visit to Hobbycraft this season. I'm looking forward to spending many more evenings and weekends like this! 

Purple Bell Christmas Fair

Morning bloggers :)

I received a text from the lovely Gileng of Purple Bell Designs this morning telling me about this years Christmas fair and asking if I would like a stall. I'm excited! And since I have some free time today I am thinking about crafting. I usually wait until after Halloween to turn myself into the Christmas Fairy, but I should be smart about it and use any free time I manage to get.

Here's a look at my stall from the last time I sold at the Purple Bell fair

I've been to so many fairs since and come such a long way from then. I was just starting out and I was so excited to sell so many cards :)

Deck the Halls!

Eeeek I am so excited!! Our decorations are up, the house smells of cinnamon and other delicious Christmas smells, and I have been beavering away at a few Christmas card orders for this festive season! I love getting totally and utterly wrapped up in the spirit of Christmas and making every part of every day as Christmassy as I possibly can! :D

So, here are some peeks at the cards I have made for some very special people this year;

Exciting news!

So, today I went to see my friend Gileng for lunch (a fellow creative head) and we talked about our jobs and what we want in the future and about life in general really. She is the wonder woman behind Purble Bell Designs and was in some ways the inspiration behind me setting up Purrfect Papercraft. I'd thought about doing it for a while but didn't think it would take off, then the next think I know Gileng is out there doing it and loving it!

Anyway, she held a fair in Christmas '09 and I was gutted i couldn't make it. She's arranged another one at the end of this month but I am at a wedding that day so can't make it again! She mentioned today that she's been thinking about hosting another Christmas fair this year and asked me if I would like to have a table! I was thrilled! She used to make cards but now makes jewelry, gifts, accessories, homewares and amazing cupcakes! (One of which she gave me today, yum yum!) She's so talented and it would be an honour to work beside her! She said I would be the only card maker there, which is exciting in itself!

Here are some photos from her fair last year ...

I knew I would have to start thinking about Christmas soon (and its not hard considering we skipped Summer this year and went straight to Autumn!) but now I will have to go into overdrive and work really hard to get lots done! Plan, plan, plan!!
