Day 137/36510920938_1044137365612864_6770549149958116340_n

This evening, support a good cause and have some fun too! It’s the Charity Craft Supply Swap at Arts Market on college!

Where: 846 College Street, Toronto
When: 7:30pm – 9:30pm

I’ve been purging and rounding up some real goodies to swap!  (And re-discovering old projects that I’ve started up again!  Of course!!)  I love swaps and can’t wait to see what everyone else brings.

To participate, just bring an item from their list to donate to the Cold Hands Warm Heart Project in collaboration with PARC.  For more info, see the facebook event page here.

photo 3You might be asking yourself what, exactly, does this mean?  What’s Cabin Fever February??  It’s an awesome sale with a handful of vendors, offering up to 50% off their entire space!!

As you can see, the entire Sprouts Press booth is listed at 30% off!!  So come on in and pick out your favourite handbound journal.  Then cozy up with a blanket and some tea while you fill your book with dreams of springtime!!

Day 87/365

It’s the last day of Sprouts Press’ boxing week sale!!  Now’s the time to scoop that journal you’ve been eyeing and use it to start 2015 right!  You have until midnight tonight.10603784_10153326517165752_7690676808225393274_n - Version 2_fotor

In other news, I would normally share my new year’s resolutions now, being the first *real* day of the new year (the 1st is a holiday, but the 2nd is for real).  But I cannot as they are all surprises, so you must wait!  I’m done with the boring, mundane and expected resolutions.  I figure they should just happen all the time anyways.

Hope everyone’s new year has started off on a stellar note!

Boxing Week Sale!

Yes, that’s right – I’m having a summertime sale in my Etsy shop!  It starts today and runs till July 20, 2014!

There are lots of ways to save: you can use coupon code ETSYCIJ14 at checkout to get 15% off orders $40 and over.  Or you can head to my all new Sale Section to get a deal on a new journal (and no, this section isn’t just the leftovers of days gone by, there are new items in there that haven’t been listed online before – YA!)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERALast but not least, I know there are some of you that really enjoy my Starburst Book Ornaments.  Since this sale is coinciding with the Etsy-wide ‘Christmas in July’ sale I’ve decided to bring them back for a limited time.  You’re welcome, (and Merry Christmas?  Is that said in July?) and get them while they’re still available.

One of a Kind

If you follow my blog, you may remember that I mentioned being a participant in this year’s One of a Kind Spring Show & Sale.  Well, the show is just around the corner so I figured it would be fun to host a contest.  One lucky person will win a pair of free tickets!! That sounds like fun, right?

Post Holidays

I’m writing this, hoping it finds everyone safe and happy.  Here in Toronto, the holidays were a bit different than usual because of an ice storm that left many households without power.  Luckily, our place was spared so we hosted ‘Christmas at Carolyn’s’ this year.  While we broke our usual tradition, it was still lovely and cozy!

Now, things are pretty much back to normal.  So, that means it’s time to announce that I’m having a Boxing Day/Week(ish) sale in my Etsy shop!  I’ve added some new items and will continue throughout the sale, so keep your eyes peeled!  Here’s my latest:

Lastly, I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for coming out to the various markets, book arts fairs and shows to support me in my book-making endeavors.  Your efforts are much appreciated!
