Custom Orders

I just love doing custom orders. Making something especially for someone's Birthday, Wedding or other event is an honor. For someone to display my work at their special event makes me very happy. I feel so lucky to be able to add that special item to someone's event that makes it extra special for them.

I am currently working on a name banner to go with a "Hello Kitty"  Birthday banner. I think they will look adorable together.

This is the original Birthday banner.

Craft Fairs Past And Future

I had a very nice day at the River fest craft fair on Saturday. Beautiful weather, wonderful customers and great fellow crafters. I will definitely be doing it again next year.

I have already started arrangements for a craft fair in November. I believe it will be the 21st. It is at the Mill Stream elementary school in Norridgewock, Maine. I will share more information as it gets closer.

Also I should be at a craft fair in December. Usually the first Saturday in December. It is at the Bloomfield elementary school in Skowhegan, Maine. I will share information about that as well when it gets closer.

OCD Troubles

I have been occupied with the task of putting all my favorite songs from my cd's onto Itunes. Then I transfer them to my iPad. I haven't listened to some of these in years. It will be so nice to have them at easier reach.
Now for the OCD part. I have to make sure they have artwork. If they don't automatically load the artwork I have to search Google for it. Sometimes it's difficult to be me....lol Now at over 600 songs I'm having real fun. I do enjoy organizing way too much.

Once it is all done I will have all the music I want right at my fingertips. Then I can dance away while working.

Busy playing with paper

In the last few days I have been working on Mickey and Minnie heads, Birthday banner and cute little crabs. I love to create with paper. I will be looking into making more items to compliment my already listed party supplies. I will also be coming up with new party supply items.

As always I am able to make a wide variety of party themed supplies. Even if it's not listed in my shop I can usually come up with something. I currently do banners, cupcake picks, favor tags, invitations, confetti and thank you cards. I can also do larger pieces to decorate walls. If you ever think of a party theme you would like but don't see it in my shop just ask me. I would be happy to try and create something for you. 

Shipping Costs

I had to go up on shipping costs in My shop jacquelinescreations.etsy.com. Post Office Prices have gone up and I had to change my shipping price to reflect that. Good news is that it was only by $0.55.

Now as an added bonus though, everyone gets free tracking.

Summer Vacation

Summer vacation is in full swing for me. Lots of house cleaning projects to do. Lots of shop cleaning projects too.
Adding new things to Jacquelines Paper and Jacquelines Creations every week. Check them out.

Today I think it is closet cleaning time. I got some totes to put my winter clothes in. I can't believe I've never done that before. As much as I love organization my closet is a mess. I need to weed out those things that no longer fit. Mostly because of loosing weight I am Happy to say. Wish me luck.

Maybe I will also sneak in a few more episodes of "Lost Girl" on Netflix......

Snow day work

I love that schools care so much about the children and their workers that they call school off with snow storms. I have enjoyed not venturing out into the snow today. I am a bit bothered that Wayne has to. I will be worried when he leaves work until he gets home. 

For now though it has been a carefree day. Well after all the housework was done it was. Both my boys are home safe. We are all nice and warm with the pellet stove going. 

I have been sitting in my work space finishing up a couple orders. I think I may even have time to make a few new things. I just got done watching "The Princess Bride" I love that movie. I don't know what movie to put in next though. "Frozen" would seem appropriate right now 😉

I am such a multi tasker. Well off I go to work.

Paracord Bracelets Made By My Son

My son Nathan has taken to making these paracord bracelets. He hopes to at some point sell enough to get more supplies and make them to order for people.

He has been going through  a lot in his young life. He is only 15 and last year lost a close and young relative. Not to mention nearly loosing his older brother. That was hard on all of us. This new hobby of his has given something for him to keep busy with. I have enjoyed watching him make them and selling them for him.

All the money made form selling these goes right back to him. After all he did all the work. They are very well made. He takes pride in how tightly he weaves them. They are not a very stiff bracelet even with the tight weave. They wear very nice. They are just better quality and more paracord in every bracelet because of his weaving style.

You can check them out on my shop here.
