Planning to offer Birthday PDFs in etsy

This is one of the special Birthday invitations I will be posting in etsy. I have 4 models for girls to choose from. This is definitely NOT a theme character birthday--but a creative & fun attraction to announce for a birthday. This was a custom request from a client in PR. 

It's that time of the year---First Communion invitations

I just created this version for a client. Waiting to see if they like this.

Workshop with illustrator William Stout

My son & I participated in a workshop where the famous illustrator, William Stout gave us tips on drawing dinosaurs & mythical creatures. Marco was a bit cranky in the morning. By the end of the workshop, he was happy to be there. An interesting note about Mr. Stout is that he was the inspiration for Michael Crichton to write the book Jurassic Park. At the last page of the book, his name is mentioned. He did gave ideas to the set designer for the movie.

Following is William Stout's Phoenix--Marco requested this one.

This one was made by Marco.

This one was made by me.

Mexican inspired kitschy shrine to my mother

My mother was almost a saint. She spoke quietly, which Marco misses a lot. She was a sweet and elegant woman who loved to be with her children, family & friends. She loved fashion and dressed in a chic bohemian style. She loved Sóller, Majorca; she had an affinity for the place because she thought that Sóller could give her energy & peace.

She is dressed in the traditional Majorcan headdress-the payesa. This picture was probably taken when my parents took me to Majorca when I was turning 2 years old.

I miss her voice & her calmness & her laughter & her advice & her intuition...

VERY CUSTOM MADE First Communion Invitations

My shop in etsy already has 2 styles for the invitations. Two for boys & two for girls. These are some ideas of the dresses & looks for the girls. Check them out!

Happy St. Valentine's!

Today I am cutting invitations for a wedding shower.

This card was done for last year's holiday at Heights Flower Shoppe.

Much going on...

Lately, I have been substituting at schools. I like doing this, specially at my son's school. It is also a nice little income to help out at home.
I am moving along contacting WBU stores, sending out flyer or PDf catalogue, but so far only one store has bought. I need 10 to 15 stores to carry my cards. There are over 200 stores nationwide.

I went to a COSE Leads group to check if it would be good for me. Not sure yet.
Last night I attended a talk at our NOIS meeting with Chris Morris, illustrator & art director for the Plain Dealer newspaper. He is very talented.www.chrismorrisillustration.com

I have been in contact with a fellow etsian that lives south of here. She made a crocheted baby booties (BOTINES) for my sister.
Her name is Ana and her shop is www.etsy.com/people/AMarteBaby
Got an order from etsy for my General Greeting cards--to a customer nearby!! I will meet her next week.
