Trying to get back to posting

Wow! I have been away way too long. I've been working really hard on my Etsy shop and projects that are just stacking up. I was very excited to have to sale's. One wasn't on Etsy it was to a friend. She bought a half dozen of my Pena Pals. The other was my favorite piece "Coraline's squid". A gentelman bought it for his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. He wrote me the most awesome letter that I'm going to have to post for eveyone to see. I was so happy after reading it, it just made my day. Here's the squid

Here's the note he convo'd me on Etsy:

Hey There,

I just wanted to say that the Coraline squid I purchased from you was amazing. I bought it as a Valentine's Day gift for my girlfriend and she loved it. I think that all of the personal touches you added to the sale (the thank you card, business card, etc.) are incredible and very sweet.

You helped make Valentine's Day very special as going to see Coraline was one of the first dates my girlfriend and I went on. You are doing amazing work and I just wanted to express my gratitude. Thank you very much and I wish you all the best!

This was just a wonderful letter to receive. I hope to be able to get responces like this from all my customers. It was very touching. Thank you again Gerry! I wish you and your GF all the best and many more wonderful moments together.

Sorry I've been AWAL!

I just feel so bad that I have been nigleting this blog. I've been working on getting my crafts sold that I just haven't had time to scrap. But I did get to do a few so you know what, I'll share them now. :) This is my avatar/icon for my SewRae! shop on Etsy. I don't have any items posted yet but probably after the holidays. I also have a banner that cordinates with it on the Etsy shop and it's also posted on my craft blog SewRae! The elements are from my favorite desinger Kristin Aagard she sells her kits like this one called "Bird Song" at Shabby Pickle

This is of course of my son David just before he turned 1. He loves the camera, he has a facination with them. Now when you take a picture of him, he goes "lemme see! and has to see it.

This is me and David now. He's 5. He loves making paper plains and flying them anywhere he can.
