First, I just want to thank everyone who entered for the giveaway! It was so fun to do the blogpost and pick the name! I won't make you wait any longer though, so here you go!

Okay, I do not mean to tease you... But I am having technical difficulties getting this video blog uploaded to blogger... EEEEEK! I could pull my hair out... Fortunately, I was able to upload to Vimeo, and since I don't want to keep you waiting, you can click HERE and watch it on Vimeo. I will try to get it uploaded to blogger, but who knows!

Get it while it's hot!

I can also bet that, if you are anything like me, you have plenty of pictures or stories that you STILL haven't recorded or scrapped... No time like the present! I'm going to a crop tomorrow in Louisville to represent The Jelly Bean Joint and I can't wait to have a day dedicated to creating! I can't wait! You should all join me in taking a few hours tomorrow to do nothing but make stuff! :)

So, back to the whole school thing... The giveaway is for this!:

Cool huh? And there's a few different ways to win it! You can do one of any of the following, (or all of them, to give yourself a better chance!):

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! : ) Get into the festive, colorful mood with me today and celebrate! Not only is it Cinco de Mayo... It's my first day back home from being out of town! I know, I know... Usually this would be a drag, right? But I'm actually pretty excited for the events over next couple of weeks so let's do it!

First, I'd like to mention that things around here are going to get a bit more exciting and fun from now on! Yay! Make sure to follow the shop and the blog during the upcoming weeks... I'll be:

*Hosting challenges w/ fun prizes!
*Posting tutorials and sweet projects!
*Giveaways and Sales (woot woot!)
*Showcasing customer creations made with The Jelly Bean Joint products (it could be YOU!)
*Sneak previews of new products to come!

Sound good? I hope so... Because I'm ready to have some fun around here for a change!

In the meantime, I wanted to say HELLO! to the girls in the JMS Scrapbook club! You gals are awesome and I can't wait to see more of your artwork! I'm so glad that you enjoyed your custom order! These girls totally stole my heart away when they posted these pictures in the Jelly Bean Joint Flickr Group...

Thank YOU girls... And keep up the awesome awesome, craftiness! :)

By the way... Has everyone been to the shop and checked out the newest addition? Rainbow Calendar Tags! These lovelies are one of a kind... and so fun to work with. (psssst... I see a tutorial in the near future...) If you haven't noticed yet, I think my favorite color is rainbow. Is that allowed? : )

Alright, and finally... to kick start things into gear...
***What is YOUR favorite month of the year? and why?***

Post your response in the comments and I'll be choosing a random winner on Thursday evening to receive a set of the Rainbow Calendar Tags! Woo! Tell your friends!
*Peace

p.s. my fave month is probably July, because I get so excited for my birthday (which is in August) and because I usually go on vacay in July... not to mention that the weather is always amazing in July... love it :)

Custom Orders? Oh So Fabulous!

2009-01-19T12:28:00.000-08:00

Are you an Etsy seller that's looking for an extra something special to add to your handmade items in your shop? Do you own a kit club and want specific designs to include in your themed kits in the future?

Or are you just an oridinary ol' scrapper, looking for something different and original to put on your LO's and projects? Something that you've never seen before at your local scrap shop or in your online stores?

Look no further!

Your custom orders are totally welcome and I'm always welcome to work with you until we find just the right designs/colors/shapes/etc. If you just have an idea you want to throw my way, but aren't 100% sure about buying... Let me know! I'm always open to new ideas and I'd enjoy the chance to hear what the customer base is looking for :)

Enough of my jibber-jabber... Check out these fellow Etsians who have taken advantage of the custom order option! :)

*Oh So Fabulous has tons of fun pre-made albums that you have to check out; and check out her shop blog as well... Very cute stuff.

*SweetTweeLabs has some super sweet kits every month filled with lots of vintage-y supplies and the upcoming Feb. kit looks pretty swell :) Check out the blog too!

And I'll leave you with a few photos that were recently uploaded to the Flickr gallery :)
