okay, now it just seems like i'm showing off.

guess what? i made my first sale last week! one of my co-workers saw my etsy shop link and asked me to create something for her friend's new baby.

she asked me to incorporate the color green to match the walls of the baby's room and pink and red ladybugs to match the theme.

here's what i came up with:
Photobucket

Photobucket

you wanna know a secret? i like it. a lot. and if you know me, you know that i hate bugs. abhor them. ALL bugs. even "pretty" ladybugs. but, i like how these ladybugs turned out.

i hate self-promotion and tooting my own horn, but i wanted to share my first sale. :) thanks for cheering me on!

oh, and if you're at all interested in ordering your own sign or plaque for the holidays (i'm posting new designs this week, too!), you might want to do so soon because my hands might be *a little* tied after the next few weeks.

you know, just sayin'. :)

  7. You are very talented!! We are hoping to redo our girls' room before our new addition. I would love to add a sign to their room when we get it all figured out! Stop by our blog and give a guess as to our newest item--just for fun, I am trying to get as many guesses as possible--something to help pass the "waiting" months. :)
