Serendipitous Monograms, Bird Cages, & Task Lists

Lately we've been trying to figure out some creative ways of using our 6mm monogram alphabet stamps. Below are a few things we've done so far. We'd love hearing what you think!



This one is a completely serendipitous creation: I accidentally double-stamped the D, which created a shadowed look. Lol. I don't think I'm good enough to reproduce these results...just yet.



Another variation on the previous design. We're really loving the rounded squares. When you see them in the shop, they will, of course, have a hole punched and be attached to a necklace. :)



A variation on an item already in our shop, which you can purchase here. I'm not crazy about this photo--working on a new one!

 We also began listing our very popular GPS necklace again (We took it out of the shop for a few months so we could revise its description and add a few customization options). Three of the five sales we've made so far this year have been this necklace! It is one of our favorites, too.

Commemorate where it all began! Stamped on the brass tag are the GPS coordinates of the place you met, fell in love, got married, etc. A "secret" message is then stamped on the second, hidden brass tag.

On the horizon: We ordered a bird cage design stamp, which I'm seriously excited about! We also ordered an 8mm cross design stamp, but I'm not AS crazy about it. I'm hoping it looks much cooler "in person." In any case, after we've played with them a bit, I'll post photos of what we've created.



 In the new year, we're trying out a daily task list. Each day has its own list of tasks; some of them are unique to the particular day, whereas others repeat. Unfortunately, we had to spend the first day of the year organizing the workbench again, which put us off schedule a little bit; however, I really think we'll be able to adhere to it on average weeks. We'll probably need a modified task list for Mother's Day and Christmas. We're hoping that this will help us streamline our creative process and thus serve our customers better.

...and that pretty much brings you up to speed on what we've been up to! We hope you were able to stop by Summer's blog and enter the giveaway this week!
