Just wanted to pop in for a quick update!
The day job is still stressful but now for a more positive reason. Without going into great detail, there have been some changes in staffing that has really helped to make the work environment so much more positive! It’s sad but I have to say that I [...]

Check out one of the new products in the shop!
The set includes a medium notebook, 3 blank flat notecards, 3 envelopes, 3 stickers/envelope seals, and last but not least 2 binder clips. All the items have matching patterned paper – this one in Amy Butler.
I loved putting this set together! There is another one in [...]

Happy Monday!

So…check out the post here. All you [...]

January 2nd of every year is always the busiest for me as I try to wrap up all book keeping activities for the previous year.
Wrapping up 2007 last year was a little rocky – I has just started KC and still trying to figure out what I needed/wanted to track and how to best do it. [...]

I’m sure this is every crafter’s dream, is it not?
Now, don’t get me wrong – I love what I do for a living. I’m actually using the degrees I worked hard to attain and I have a job that I like. Also, I get to have a personal life with this job which is not [...]

Oh my goodness (head hanging low). I’m so ashamed of my extremely long absence! All is well but it has just been very busy lately.
As you know, my son came into the world in January and he has kept me and my husband very busy. And any time that we have for ourselves, well, we [...]

I’m so happy because my last 2008 planner has sold! It would have probably sold earlier if I had discounted it and I had some folks convo me (on Etsy) to see if I would but I didn’t think it was the best course of action. It still costs me the exact same amount to produce the item [...]

Well, as of this week, I am officially employed! Yes, I went and did it and got a jobby-job! I had the wonderful opportunity to stay at home for much of my pregnancy and after my son was born which gave me time to focus on really getting Keepsake Couture situated.
In the time I’ve been [...]

I’ve been hard at work on a new issue of the Keepsake Couture newsletter and well, it’s about darn time!
I’ve been meaning to send one out for the past two months but have sorely neglected it. Pre-baby (and during the busy holiday / buying season) I was really good about sending one out each [...]
