It's FINALLY NOVEMBER!! October is always such a hectic month for me... every year I dread it. We have 3 birthday parties to celebrate, costumes and parties to plan for and make, school functions and a dozen other things. It's just nonstop action, candy and gift wrap.
Not to mention that alongside all of that, I'm gathering goodies for Silver Bella... so we have birthday balloons and decorations all over the house, pumpkins on the porch and Christmas and glitter bursting out of the studio. Craziness!
Annnnyway, I can finally put away all of the extra stuff and focus on Silver Bella, which by the way, is only 10 days away from today!!
On to the peeks! I decided to only have 1 table this year, only do a little handmade, supplies and some kits.
A few things I've been working on...
Candy colored ornaments...
Lots and lots of vintage trimmings... YUM... this is the stuff I would go for... can't believe I'm even parting with them!! ;0)
a little peeky of a bigger project... more photos of this coming soon!
I've been toying with this idea for a long time. I was so honored to write an article for the recent Somerset Holidays and Celebrations issue, released in September.
The feature is a 3 page spread on my "Sweet" banners. The article was AMAZING, the editors did SUCH great job with it and it looks JUST LIKE ME! I am SO SO HAPPY with how it came out!
So, in the publication, you will get step by step instructions on how to make a banner like the one's I've made in the past... this is the banner that was in the article.
I decided to go ahead and make "Sweet Banner" kits, with step by step instructions, pre-cut papers, embellishments, a bundle of trims and ribbons and handmade rosettes! You will also get a page of letters to choose from, to personalize your banner.
I'll be offering these kits in the Sugar*Sugar shop after Silver Bella. I'm taking as many as I can make to Silver Bella... with Christmas embellishments and goodies to alter a banner for yourself!
I have a lot more to show you, but it'll have to wait! Today has slipped by and I've got a lot to cross off of my to do list. I'll be back in a day or two with more goodies. ;0)
Have a sweet day!
Analise

I am so proud of you as always! you are the best ever.... And for of all of you in the blog world, I knew her when we made friendship bracelets and friendship pins and painted our cheerleader megaphones. Analise was the girl who bought her notebooks and pencils at the stationary store. They were rainbow-y and pink and foo foo and I was always so jealous! I had boring white and yellow... So glad I still get to pop over and see all the fabulousness in person and beg "please please make me one of those". Love you!
