Vaycay Haul, a preview of my tools of the trade...

SO I know you want Buttons, and I promise and promise again I will get to those. But there is more than tin, pins, and mylar that goes into a small button business. Like the little things that customers appreciate with their orders. Like Thank You cards!

While I was driving around everywhere in Atlanta I did leave my hubby at the hotel to go craft hunting. I love using the Hobby Lobby and Michaels 40% Off coupons whenever I can! Not just because its 40% off which is awesome in itself but on CRAFTY THINGS it's oh so much better!!! I splurged on some stamp sets which will play into my buttons as well as cards later.  Some crafty tape to accent them, and a cute little paw punch later you have nifty (yes, nifty! a highly under-rated word that should be used more often) cards to give your fabulous customers. The silver marker you will actually get to know about soon, and I'm not talking about signing the cards either.

Oh! And since there is a lack of IKEA's in Florida I hit up the one in Atlanta Ga to take advantage of some storage! They had a great sale for the silver accented boxes pack of 2 for $3.99 and then the smaller thick cardboard boxes were in packs of 7 with assorted sizes for just $0.99!!!!!

Currently I am working on a lot of projects and I am taking pictures of them in progress but I want to wait to give you the whole story in one post. Still getting used to this blog thing.

Stuff I am working on:

  • Button Broaches?
  • Tiding up my Studio and giving you an inside peek.
  • Office paperwork: Essential things you need.
  • Finished Music Buttons.
  • New designs for retail.
and MORE....

Now I'm off to go work! Might post later if I have something finished.

Currently Listening to: My husband watch BBC's Top Gear... :)
