New in the Shop!

As of late, I have been very busy with the shop. I am assuming that is why my "weekly total reach"ed blog viewers has gone down quite a bit. I figured I should do a little update! Me and my wing man have been looking for property on our days off. We have been very busy running around, aside from working full time jobs. As for my shop which is what keeps me busy while I am at home- I get lots of messages in my shop asking if I can customize bags. Nobody has any idea how hard that is.. I am offering $10 bags! Just seems silly to me. So I am now offering custom oversized gift tags. I will write any message- preferably names, initials, and dates for the welcome bags. Oversized gift tags has been my suggestion for these inquiries, but I am not quite sure if everyone knows what I mean when I suggest it. So now I am offering them in my shop, and I will write on them! They are $3 each, or $2 if you buy 10 or more. They also have free shipping if you buy any other item in the shop. So now you are all caught up on what I am up to.. I will try to post up some of our land search photos here soon.

Just want to thank all of you for following the blog! Make sure to follow me on Facebook for (more) regular updates!

Dream State Etsy Shop- Now Open!

My Etsy shop is officially open for business. At the moment I have just 4 designs up. I will have much more available soon. I also only have one style of bag available due to the other being out of stock by the supplier. As soon as that is available again, I will have all of the designs available in 2 different style bags! This is just the beginning. I also have other ideas up my sleeve.. I wanted to tell you followers that I do have a coupon code just for you! It is free shipping for domestic orders only. Expiration date is July 1st.

A Message To You Followers

I announced the winners of Dream State's first birthday giveaway on facebook. Those two ladies sent their information my way, and hopefully if I make a shout out they will take a photo or two when the custom hand stamped garden stakes are in the ground. ; ) I update regularly on facebook! So do make sure to follow me there (shortcut link here)! I also wanted to share that I am having slight technical difficulties getting my shop up and running, but I did want to show you followers what I have completed so far. This is just a few of the bags I have completed. My photo shoot went just as planned. I know I have a few family members that are excited to see what I have up my sleeve so here it is guys! I am planning on at least 7 more designs. Very exciting stuff! If you are on Etsy add me to your circle, and favorites so you will be up to date when the shop  is officially open (link to my etsy page). I will announce a shop opening discount code for you followers- In case you know a bride in need of  'Welcome' Gift bags this summer. Also available are eco-friendly reusable gift bags for any occasion. The idea for the shop is to have a simple but elegant look. Nothing too complicated, with a simple message.

I am anxious to see what will come in the near future, and thanks for joining me in the adventure!

Etsy Shop Opening Soon!

Last week while I was sick with a nasty cold.. I got busy. Busy giving my Etsy shop a face lift! I am motivated to start making stuff- Not just as gifts for the ones I love.. but beyond that. Get some extra money in my empty pockets! haha I work at a hotel if you kids didn't know. I regularly help out wedding on the weekends. My job has killed whatever dream I MIGHT have had at one point of having a wedding. haha.. But one thing I do love about weddings, is the 'Welcome' bags! The wedding party puts together welcome bags for the families that traveled far to get to the hotel. I thing it is sweet and thoughtful. Which as you may know is one of the things that inspires me most in this world. Thoughtfulness means that you went out of your way to do something special because you appreciate that person. We all need more time to show others how much they mean to us.. Anyways- back to my project I've got going.. I am making 'Welcome' bags for weddings, 'Bridesmaids' & 'Maid of Honor' appreciation bags to fill with goodies. I am making 'Birthday', & 'Thank You' bags. Also tons of bags with all different ways of saying 'I Love You'. I just got the bags in today, so I laid them out with the transparency paper on top to show everyone what I did in just 1 day! All except two of the designs were made in 1 day! I am planning to print a few in different colors for the shop, but I like how the black looks on the natural canvas.

I don't have any items in my Etsy shop yet, but add me to your 'circle' or 'favorites'! I will have items in there very soon, and will kick off my re-opening with a discount code for my followers! See my revamped Etsy shop here.
