Vote: Etsy Community Poll

Hello friends, I am in another Community vote on Etsy this week. If you don't already know about these, the way to get selected is simply to nominate yourself! On Mondays, Etsy usually publishes an article about the previous week's winner, and asks for nominations for the next poll. Each week there is a different theme, so when you see one that suits your shop, nominate yourself by posting a link to your item in the comments section! I do believe that items are chosen for the Voter in the order they are received, so don't delay. You can also nominate others of course, and I try to do that as well as nominate myself (I'm not selfish all the time...) That said, if you haven't already voted in this week's round, head on over and please feel free to cast your vote for me! My mixed media print is included. I have been a bit absent again lately, but trying to catch up! I hope to share with you later this week what I have been working on. In addition to starting on some holiday designs, I have been doing a very special custom/wholesale order, which is almost complete. Look for a post or two on that soon. I gocco screenprinted some custom silhouettes for this order, and I may try to write a more detailed post on that!

New Supplies!

Yay! I finally got my order of new supplies delivered. In addition to colorful envelopes I also upgraded my cardstock supply. I got some lovely linen finish cardstock and 100 lb. cardstock as well, and can't wait to put it all to use. This probably doesn't mean much to you unless you are a paper addict like me... and if you are then you probably know how excited I am.

I also bit the bullet and stocked up on some more gocco supplies through Welsh Products. They still have 10 packs of bulbs and 5 packs of screens in stock, which is getting hard to find. Many places are now only stocking the 4 pack bulbs and 2 pack screens! They had the most reasonable rates I could find and pretty cheap shipping. My paper goodies came from a new source I found on the internet called California Paper Goods. I don't purchase supplies wholesale at this point (of course I know I ought to be doing so), but I found California Paper Goods' prices to be really inexpensive and they have a huge selection. They have a wonderful selection of colorful French Paper Pop Tone, which is what I mostly stocked up on. Enjoy, paper addicts!
