Clean & Simple Tuesday, March 11, 2014, Not A Day Goes By, a Prize Winner, Project Life and My New Etsy Boutique!

Hi friends and fellow crafty people! I'm now two weeks out today from my knee reconstruction surgery and am doing quite well. Thank you for your prayers and your cards. What a lovely surprise! I was so happy to receive such beautiful happy mail!

I have a lot of announcements that I will be making in this post too, so sit back and grab your fav bev and take a break.

Today I have a prize winner from a few Fridays ago that I said I was going to announce a winner for my little blog candy contests. CHERYL MCASKILL, please send me your address! Thank you for all of your comments. I was surprised with almost 200 comments but have not approved them all yet. I just ran numbers and Cheryl came up. Enjoy your prize Cheryl!

So with this video and card, to keep it short, I already stamped over half of the card so I can't figure out why or how it got to be 20 minutes long! That's it. I'm going to quit struggling with this and just do my thing with my videos and 20 minutes is just going to be the norm. I give up!

Below is my video and card. I hope that you enjoy! God bless you and thank you so much for stopping by to see me today.

I have 40 years of journals. It all started when I was 10 years old with "Dear Diary." No joke. For this year, I have decided to do a journal type of Project Life of me! I will share my 12 x 12 pages with you. Personally, right now, there are some action items that I have to take care of and notes with dates so those will go into a separate 6 x 8 notebook and will not be shared.

While recovering from the knee surgery, I've been going through my Project Life materials and a lot of other stuff that I've had on hand for a long time and have decided to reopen my Etsy Boutique making my own vintage/Project Life/whatever little kits for you to purchase. I will have everything from glassine bags to tags (plain and stamped), steampunk, adorable little trinkets, bags, ribbon, antique and junk finds, fabric, buttons, sequins like you'e never seen before, unique hand-crafted items (you will LOVE my flowers), and other beautiful items. I hope to have these up in my Etsy Boutique within the next few weeks. All of my handcrafted kits will be perfect for and meet all of your crafting needs. If you are a former customer of mine, I will send out an announcement to you. I will also be selling my cards and projects in my boutique too! I will have Mixed Media and albums, as well as mini albums for various occasions. I will also have a Pinterest Board you can look at to see all of the items in my boutique.

THE FINE PRINT: I do ask that if you are published using one of the items from my unique and one-of-a-kind kits, that you do give me credit and list my boutique in your description to the magazine and would also appreciate the shout out on your blog, gallery or galleries that you upload your craft project to. Thank you so much for your part in giving credit where credit is due and keeping crafting fun and honest.

I just know that you will love my little boutique and never hesitate to inquire about bulk items (for personal use only and not for resale) or even personalized items. I look forward to earning your business and I will let you know when my boutique is open for business.

So, I think this was a very fun blog post with a new video, sharing my Project Life with you and my new Cindy BC Designs Boutique!

I am looking forward to going junking this weekend to get all of my Project Life items organized! So exciting for me! I will make a video for you too. This will be a lot of fun for me as I'm really looking forward to getting out of the house for a few hours.
