I'm pretty much sold out of my initial Christmas cards but I've got a big paper order arriving in about a week.  I'll have them in my shop as soon as the paper arrives!

Christmas Cards!


It seems after much trial and error, we've managed to figure out our Christmas cards.  My brother (the computer expert) even flew in from Vancouver to help out.  Well, he had a few other reasons to visit, but I kidnapped him and parked him in front of photoshop and begged him to help.  After some swearing and cursing, and much wasted card stock we managed to perfect our method.  He's an airline pilot and designs iphone apps and making greeting cards almost destroyed his sanity.  I guess the things that should be simple, often are not.

I've listed some in my etsy shop, but we're waiting on more of our card stock to arrive from Texas....a little far away, so more will trickle in as supplies arrive.

SHIPPING WARNING!  We're getting closer and closer to December and that means horrible shipping delays.  Cards aren't a big problem because they can go out lettermail (5-7 days) but prints have to go out parcel method.  November 29 is actually the cut off date for small packet air to the US and most other countries to guarantee a timely Christmas delivery.  After November 29th, I have to switch my shipping method to expedited and that is more costly and will add about $5 on to the shipping.    Last year I spent most of my evenings tearing my hair out worrying about shipping, so I've decided it's likely best for everyone this year to just change the shipping method to something faster once December arrives.

The Leaning Tower Of Croquembouche


The Leaning Tower Of Croquembouche, oil on canvas, 6"x8".  Sold.

I'm not entirely sure how to explain this one.  I became obsessed the other day with the word 'Croquembouche' and ran around mispronouncing it until a painting finally emerged.  For anyone not entirely familiar with the ins and outs of French pastry, Croquembouche means 'crunch in the mouth'.   Seems fitting and looks pretty delicious even if it's on a bit of a tilt.
