Posted by Kerry Wills on November 30, 2020

it was a looong day of picking and pulling product, double checking invoices, packaging orders, weighing and labeling everything and updating the system to send shipping alerts. jon stayed up with me til 4 am and was an excellent helper!

#the100dayproject : handmade card 33/100-2 : congrats [big news]

Posted by Kerry Wills on October 25, 2020

the spin on the inspiration wheel for day 33 landed on all one company, ideally meaning that all the supplies i would use to create today's handmade card would come from just one company. i decided this was the perfect time to use some newer items in my stash and that i would add a card to a category i often get requests for: new baby! you will see that i ended up breaking my own rules and cheating a bit by using one supply not from the main company, but since i make the rules i decided it was okay. [anyone else think of who's line is it anyway? i often think about their catchphrase, "where the rules are made up and the points don't matter" - seems pretty fitting!]

this block of patterned paper has such an inspiring sentiment that i've wanted to use on a card for some time now. i can see this one being framed or displayed in a tiny human's room/nursery. [it's also kind of motivating for me too - i do love sleep but don't get nearly enough!]

i'm only going to share a few but they will all be listed soon! there's 38 of them altogether! all one-of-a-kind and all punny!

mail it monday #24

Posted by Kerry Wills on March 30, 2020

welp it's the third monday of #quarantine2020 and while i wasn't able to create as much last week as i had hoped to, i did make + mail a couple cards out!

i picked up this stamp set recently after seeing so many incredible samples with it. early last week i had a customer email me telling me that they're enjoying getting to know me [& my process] a little better via my march meet the maker posts. the email came on a day when i really needed it and i decided to share that happiness back to them with a handmade card.
