Wedding guest books are so 2013!

This week I launched a new product with Lulu Makes Things, a finger print guest frame!

It's such a cute alternative to a traditional guest book and relieves the pressure on your guest to try and come up with something witty or meaningful off the cuff!

Each guest pops a finger or thumb print onto the tree as a leaf or the bicycle as a balloon and then writes their name beside it. A really lovely memento to display after the day too!

I was nervous to launch this as it's something I've been playing around with for ages, but was overwhelmed by the postivity of everyone's response!

I sold out of trees within a few hours and everyone loved the concept! I love being able to launch things and get instant feedback.  Sometimes things work right away, other things take a few weeks to get going and other things just never make it. It can be surprising the things that people love, like my little greeting cards! I never thought people would love them so much because most if not all of them are personal to me and my sense of humour.  A french lady bought a whole pile of them on Sunday so it's pretty cool to think I have a French mind twin!!

Going to work my butt off this week to make lots of new designs this week.

I really love my job! :)

Valentines day crafting!

I cannot believe January is almost over!! Valentine's day is just around the corner so I've been creating some new products for my stall at st George's Market in Belfast!

I don't care if valentines has become a marketing ploy or over commercialised, it's still one of my favourite days!

My husband and I always buy each other little gifts and tell each other we love the other every single day so perhaps we are a soppy pair, but I love the opportunity to tell him how much he means to me!  Jeepers just typing that I see how much of a sop I am haha!

Well anywho, I love valentines but I dislike buying shop tat and always look for something personal. I kept this in mind when coming up with my new ideas.

I created a love jar, filled with little cards to pop a personal message on. Each card has a little heart cut out and the jar also has heart shaped confetti in the bottom.

The other little cutie is a message in a bottle.  It contains a little card to write your own message and contains a little crystal heart.

I made one for a bride too because realistically who wouldn't want a little message in a bottle on any special occasion! 

I loved making these so hopefully my customers love them too!
