How exciting for the new mom to come in to her shower and see this creation waiting for her with all the goodies.

Its Monday

And lets just say its going to be super busy. First of all I am finally going to be getting a website and I can't wait.. it will be www.kerleyskreations.com. I am so stoked. Secondly I am in the process of making up wedding invitations yes that is right wedding invites not for me but for a customer and its thrilling to know that she trusts me on her most exciting day.

Lastly the life of a crafter is never dull I am going to start applying for some shows around here to be in and featured to get more exposure I think it will help.

Buttpads Requested

Well I did it took the plunge and strapped 8 wheels to my feet and skated ( okay acutally I sat on the side lines) but if my kids would of let me I would of had a pillow strapped to my butt and went skating something about a 38 year old on skates after not doing it for 20 years SCARY. So instead I worked on a few new projects and a blanket that I have been crochetting for Dante for 1 month now ( he will be 18 years old by the time its done ) just kidding. I had an exciting time down in KK land ( aka basement) and did a few new projects they will be posted here soon but also on www.kerleyskreations.etsy.com with in the week.

I just posted today some awesome easter cards and some birthday invites how exciting I hope all have a great day and enjoy the weather I hear its suppose to SNOW on saturday but I am hoping for rain the daffodils just started sprouting and I don't want them to be damaged I so look forward to them each spring.

Buttons buttons and more darn buttons

Well I did it took the plunge and got Caitlin started on Buttons so she now has her own Etsy shop as well selling you guessed it Buttons. she is making and going to sell polymer buttons. She is getting so mature in life.

So now I sit instead of photographing and getting this ready typing this.. so I am off to go get her buttons photographed and finished and will see all of you later on .. by all.. and until tomorrow or later tonight sleep well..

Its a Monday

Well, I have been reading and reading and so busy creating that I decided to start blogging again and letting everyone know the who, what, when, where and why's of my life.

I interview today at Red Robin for a management position lets hope it happens if it does not we move on August 1st to Saudi Arabia to live with Klark my wonderful and very supportive hubby who knows I have a paper and craft addiction :)

So I opened up shop about a month ago been doing really well about 1 sale every day which is good I hear but I need to increase sales so I am off to try to figure out how to do that part of life.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful and blessed day and stay strong.

Spring is finally starting in Michigan I noticed new growth in my flower bed last week the tulips are coming yeah yeah yeah .. daffodils as well so I am excited can't wait to go pick some from the yard.

Blessings all

A long time coming

Well,today is a long time coming, i have been with a cold now for 3 weeks ugh. the kids are doing well and growing I think by leaps and bounds its so hard to believe that soon cailtin will be 15 year old where has the time gone.

I started a new business online about 3 weeks ago and I am excited about it in the least hard to believe its been three weeks since my etsy store opened

I am in the process of making new items or new things for me which is exciting and hoping that they are a hit like I THINK THEY ARE. Its been 4 months since Klark left we are still in Michigan and looking at where life is going to take us soon. I am hoping its closer to where klark can be at home.

I recently started getting into blogging so i hope that I can continue it soon ..
