Anna's Etsy Shop update1...

Just in time for the holiday season we have a new item in my shop...:-) 

"I did it!!" Sticker Chart - Halloween/Christmas Edition...:-)


I contemplated wether to do a specific holiday edition or just to keep it general holiday edition and decided to go with the two holidays that I love... Halloween and Christmas! I know I would be losing some customer groups for going with that theme but I thought about what Madison (ho is the biggest fan of the sticker chart) would enjoy more... :-) and I'm happy I did it this way!

Unlike the Summer edition where I kind of repeated same objects inside the squares I decided for the Halloween/Christmas I want each one to be different and special so that took me a lot longer to design... For the Halloween section I hand sketched everything with a pen then first I wanted to leave them with no color fill to go with the halloween feel of just black outline but then I thought about Madison and decided yeah she would enjoy some colors... As you can see for the Christmas section I went crazy with colors and went all out!! Literary!

I made sure this sticker chart has areas where a parent can write in the child's name to make it more special so in the Christmas section you can see I have two spots saved for Santa's Nice List and all the stockings have't claimed it's owner yet...:-) Total of 120 squares will last you about 4 months if you only use one square a day. Madison is finishing up her summer sticker chart right now but will be starting this on on October 1st and she can't wait! Every night she traces with her finger from the start to where she will be putting her sticker on and counts how many days left... 

I hope you like it and decide to get it for your child, your grand child or your special someone...:-)

Besides the sticker chart I have a few more things in my shop in case you didn't know... They are
Surprise Birthday Card $5
In the front you can write in the name of your birthday person to make each card more special...







Wall Prints $10 each
My original hand illustrated art to add to your wall decor...



I'm looking to promote my shop in local baby boutiques, shop or daycares, etc... If you know someone who can let me mail some marketing postcards to leave on a table or hand out... If you have a great marketing idea or know of a good place to leave some postcards at please feel free to let me know:-)
If you know a lot of parents with little kids that you can pass some cards to please let me know! I would really appreciate your help and support:-) Thank you Alyson Klein for blogging about my shop and Linda Klein for passing out my cards...:-)

Ganpa and Ganpa (ma) Time!!

The long awaited time had finally arrived...we were off to the airport to get Ganpa and Ganpa (how Madison said Gma and Gpa before the arrival)...

 

The following pictures are of the little bit of free time we gave the grandparents outside of doing house projects...which you will see in the next post...somehow we still found time to...

Visit Huntington Beach, catch a few waves and play in the sand...














Sand Crabs...lovely...
No doubt Grandma and Grandpa are hard at work :-)
Art Project time at the bar...many hours spent with Gma cutting away...
Nice Shot...

The bouncy house...Madison needed convincing to get in...then didn't want to leave...


Did we mention the professional face painter...it was quite a party :-)

Madison watches Rozlyn open her gifts...they weren't all big wheel cars.

Gpa of course made new best friends...

One of the last nights we decided to take a little trip to Downtown Disney so Gma could get Madison a Mickey and Friends bank...here the happy three are on the tram...


And outside the store...
And as you will see in the next blog post...this nap is well-earned!!!
