Sign for the store

Check if this sign looks good to advertise my cards at Wild Birds Unlimited.
School just started so now I am back in business....

It's August & my birthday is around the corner

School is almost here so I am just trying to do activities with my son before it starts. I do have many ideas to draw in Illustrator, but I just can't seem to sit down inside.

Today was beautiful outside so we rode our bicycles and hang out on our beautiful deck. I read about a woman who wrote a book called Decorate, on the best sellers list--about tips on decorating --in the new edition of Where Women Create by Stampington & Co.'s Somerset Studio.

I am waiting for my husband to help me install a big cork bulletin board & a magnetic erase board so I can post in an nice & organized way all my clipping & GOALS.
Must start preparing some delicious looking salmon & shrimp burgers from Heinen's, my favorite supermarket (besides Trader Joe's & Whole Foods).

Wild Birds Unlimited in Mayfield Heights selling my cards!

It's official! This great store of all bird things will be selling 114 TWEET&FLORA greeting cards!
I have Thank You, Love, Friendship, just plain funny, Christmas, Birthday...
and soon will be adding Hanukkah, Get well, Thinking of you...

I now have to add my little TWEET&FLORA logo to my piccolino home page and info regarding the cards. Got to talk to Jorge about that.


Labels for school books available: awesome animal illustrations or tweenies.

I feel like Snoopy when he is dancing! Mama is watching.

One order coming up, another store is interested

Well, tomorrow I shall be picking up an order from one of the stores. Which are very exciting news! I went to another store to show them my cards and they seem to be pleasantly surprised. Very nice people and they gave me a few ideas for more cards.
The best idea was Happy Bird Day! instead of Happy Birthday, quite clever from the owner.
Well, Mama is definitely helping me from heaven, although she never got around to see my Tweet&Flora designs. 8 weeks since he passing. I still can't believe it.

Card Catalogue--done....

I already created a catalogue of all the cards I think are good to sell at stores. 2 stores have it and I am just waiting for the order. Tomorrow I buy the large paper and additional greeting card envelopes. Then I have to make changes in the color for the designs (digital colors are brighter than inkjet) before I print them professionally. This week I can work more as my son is in camp while my cone flowers are starting to bloom...
