Creative Christmas Calendar.

are you already following the lovely Creative Christmas Calendar from my sweet friend Riikka? yesterday was my turn. i created this lovely christmas canvas:

YES! and it's also one of my christmas cards in my set of 12!

which in fact: if you buy 3 sets of more, i'll throw in a free set of REVitup mixed media cards in there too. swoon.

on the agenda today: REVolution day! o yes it is. but first things first: playing the "pepernotenspel" in Ruben's group (kindergartners how i love thee, not really but i'll play nice. for once. and don't eat all the 'pepernoten' hehe. i'm the bank you know). i've got a secret assignment which i planned on working today and that will pretty much soak up all my energy & time. but that's rad. that's how it supposed to be. next on the list IF there's somewhat of a spot: new iphone cases will go up in the shop, artjournals or notebooks will not be ordered just yet, but don't worry, i've got another plan up my sleave to make that happen. mix in some hot tea (coffee is on my blacklist as from now) and chocolate: i promise to stare & smell. reallly. promise.

life is good. let's get this day roling with some sweet music from my new love!

since i feel like christmas already...

why not create a cute christmas crochet project? yes. why not?! i've been working on this project for the last couple of months now. writing out the pattern, adjusting it, adjusting it, changing it, throwing it in a corner multiple times, just to pick it up again. it just does not leave me alone! 

but i'm happy i created the pattern just like i had in mind! it's not finished yet. and it needs tweaking, testing & some more ideas added to the group.

but i promise you this is going to be another fun one! yes. those are small christmas trees. you likey huh?

on the agenda today: it's REVolution day and i've been packing my gorgeous christmas cards this morning! wow! I'm so happy that you are ordering in bulk! muchos gracias lovelies! and there's a lot of fun stuff on my list of lists today: designing my own businesscards, designing a book marker (o yes!), starting with a calender (hallelujah), getting my mixed media PDF into my Etsyshop (so you can create your mixed media canvas at home, with me guiding you (hooray), and i'm thinking of ways to stand out on the Sunday Market in Amsterdam, where i will be on November 4th. are you coming? sweet.

life is good. i can smell November already!

it feels like having another baby.

it really does! well. without the blood. and the pain. and the drama. and my swearing like a sailor. and the moment of extreme happiness. and the newborn smell. okay. okay, it doesn't even come close to having a baby, but they just feel like they are my little babies <3.

when i started out with my mixed media canvasses, i knew i wanted to make postcards. i just ffelt it in my heart that was for me. and when i had my first 8 designs of postcards printed, i knew again, i soooo needed to make christmas cards. not the everyday christmas cards you pick up from the supermarket. i wanted the to be whimsical. magical. full of love. sweet messages on the front, blanc on the back so there's room enough to write down your own special message to your loved one(s).

and the universe listened. isn't it lovely how things work? i just set my mind on things, and wanting them to become true with all my heart. not to mention i really work hard for it too. but it just all magically "clicks". finding the inspiration to create 3 lovely designs. finding a great printing companty who can meet my quality standards & having them delivered early so i can send them out PERFECTLY in time to all my lovely customers.

this week only: 12 cards (3 designs, 4 of each design) with 12 gorgeous white perfect fitting envelopes for only 10 euro's (13 dollars).

but wait, there's more! If you buy 3 or more sets, i'll throw in 1 free set of my REVITup postcards!

so, dear sweetheart, send your loved ones magical christmas cards this year.

on the agenda today: office day in the morning, play day in the afternoon. i'll post about my real life workshop last Saturday this week. i'm packing christmas & postcards, printing prints, and hopefully list some orginal paintings. maybe i even play a little game on the Kinect with the muppets. it's a good day.

life is good. and i keep marching.
