Gift for Postal Worker

Aug29

When I had to mail my first sale, I went to our local post office and the lady who helped me was very nice. She took the time to look at all the pictures of my flower pens and gave encouraging words.
I went back the next day and she didn’t help me, but I heard someone else say her name. So today I delivered her this 🙂

Hello Kitty Sundae Flower Pen

Aug28

Okay, only those that know me, know how much I LOVE Hello Kitty!  OMG!!  This pen turned out so cute!! I’m selling them, but I am keeping one for myself.  Oh, and one is for my niece who also loves Hello Kitty. 🙂

The pens are refillable too so you can keep using them even when they run out!  I love, love, love, love this one!!!!

The Little Things Make Me Happy

Aug27

I drove to McDonalds to get my boss a diet coke and at the pick-up window I saw an employee with an ice cream cone. I said out loud, “I want an ice cream cone.” And she handed it to me!!!! I love little surprises like that! 🙂

How to Ship an Artificial Flower

Aug22

I had to ship my first sale today and I was wondering how to ship the flower pen so that the flower would not get squashed. Well, I figured it out! I got a blank Chinese food carton and made a hole at the bottom. I inserted the pen from the top and the flower fit nicely in the box. I made a label to keep the box closed and added little stickers to make it pretty. I also wrapped the pen in tissue paper and tied it with a bow. Cute!!!

This pic shows the pen sticking through. I wrapped it again with another layer of tissue paper and that worked better. 🙂

If it feels good, why stop?

Aug22

I walked 4 minutes and ran 1 minute 8 times today and it felt good to push a little harder than just walking. I was doing this a few weeks ago and stopped. Why do I stop doing what makes me feel good? Do I wanna feel bad? Lol. Hopefully I’ll remember to read this when I want to stop again 🙂

Cowgirl Boot Flower Pen

Aug21

My sister saw these little boots at the store and thought they would be cute pen holders. I thought about it and then realized that I had some denim flowers and voila! a cowgirl flower pen! This is really very cute in person. Too cute. I want one for myself and have this feeling that I need to make at least 10 for the craft show I’m doing in September. I really like this one 🙂
