I Heart Handmade

  I definitely heart handmade, especially since Scribbling Club was Shop of the Day at  I Heart Handmade.  I was truly surprised and excited to find my shop in such a special place.  I Heart Handmade is a "seasonally inspired handmade market" and a unique place to promote your shop.  I am included in the Holiday Market, so I am looking forward to all of the great rewards (including this one) that this adventure will bring!  Thanks Jess & DJ   !!

The Artsypreneur

I am happy to announce that last week a personalized name stamp  from my Etsy Scribbling Club Shop ( clear rubber stamps)  was featured on the artsypreneur at artsypreneur.com.  I am so excited because this is such a fun shop!

First, I love their pastel floral wallpaper; it immediately drew me in and added so much visual fun to my browsing  experience.  You know how you go window shopping sometimes just to enjoy all of the vibrancy around you.

And I love their byline... The Artsypreneur - Featuring  fabulous...fresh...fun...funk...  finds  Monday-Friday.  That says it all. 

And Madge, the curator, has excellent taste and I'm not just saying that because I'm featured.  I saying that because, I will be sure to drop by regularly.

Hi

I haven't posted here in a while because I've been so busy designing and managing a flurry of orders at my Etsy shop.  So I have decided to start a new blog Called Clear Rubber Stamp of the Day to post my latest designs.  I will still post here of course, but now I feel a bit more organized.

And I'm starting backwards by making the first Clear Rubber Stamp of the Day the last one that I designed.  It is a "Handmade By" stamp and is designed for those who sell handmade products.  Click here to check it out!

Willie and Henrietta

Yay!  Scribbling was featured on Willie & Henrietta on July 27th; we're part of their weekly giveaway. It's a stylish blog that features fashionable and beautifully crafted items for children. You should definitely check it out!

Use Some Chocolate

Yeah, I sure could use some chocolate right now.  But I went to the gym today so I'd rather not ruin it, all that hard work.  And trust me because it was so hard I crave a small piece of chocolate to cheer me up.

Frugality Tip # 1

Okay.  So.  I am probably the last person you would expect to post info, let alone a tip, about being frugal.  After all, I am known to let her rip when shopping.   But, I was thinking the other day, the last day I went shopping.  I was thinking about how much money I spent and how little I got in return.  And I was thinking about how big my beady little eyes grew when the cashier announced the total. It was double what I expected.  As usual I didn't make a scene but I did wonder what in the world was I doing.  Again.

What I was doing was shopping, something I try to avoid since frankly I am not good at letting go and leaving it on the shelf.  Later I thought about it and came up with this.   Before I check out, put half my stuff back.  Then I won't be nearly as surprised or disappointed. 

So Frugality Tip # 1 is Divide by 2.

If you're anything like me, you'll be glad you did!

I love the new Typepad!

Now it's much more fun and I like the networking aspect.  So cool!

Custom Name Rubber Stamps

So I've been designing my first line of custom name clear polymer rubber stamps.  My first priority is to make them cute.  This is actually my second design and I like it a lot better than the first, if only because it just works better for a stamp design.  It's rounder and the face is a better focal point.  Now that I have the design my next step is to actually make the stamp and if all goes well then I will list it in my etsy store.
