Teacher Appreciation

The school year is winding down and students are working hard to get assignments and studies done before the cut off. I guess I'm thinking alot about this as my third son will be graduating this June. We had him fitted for a Tuxedo this past weekend. Exciting but kind of sureal too as we come to a new phase in life. No more high school,no more making lunches for me, (once the guys graduate and start working, or college I think they can handle making their own lunches!) Anyhow all that said I was thinking about 'teacher gifts' and just sold 15 teacher magnets this morning. Here are a few ideas for those that like to show appreciation to teachers with a little token of thanks! Come by my store Shell's Designsto see more items.

Book Signing

Margaret McMullan was at Barnes & Noble this afternoon signing books. As you can see by my picture it was great fun and her fans couldn't wait to get their hands on a copy! I bought two of her books myself. I have had the opportunity to hear Margaret speak about her work a couple times and I have to say that she is fun to listen to and an inspiration to others interested in the writing process. If you missed her today, you'll have a chance to meet her and have a book signed if you go to Borders (located near Target)in early May.

Invitations - How Do You Like To Receive Them?

Invitations come in many forms these days. From a face to face conversation to a cell phone call, or perhaps a text mess. (not sure I like that one) but the best ones I think are the ones that you open that put a smile on your face as you read it! An invitation that gets you excited about the party or event that you can attend! Recently I received two Zazzle Awards for invitations I created for my store. That was really exciting for me. Both of them were 'Birthday' invitations that I had designed. Winning those awards means that my invitations are in the 'Featured' section for 2 weeks and will get lots of extra exposure. Yay! I thought I'd show you some of my recent 'invitations' that I've been working on! If you're looking for something in the way of invitations of any sort come by my store Shell's Designs

Classy Business Cards

Business cards are a great way to promote a home business. A classy design can help people to remember you and your business with ease. Recently I've been designing some stylish and chic business cards for various business' and occupations. My favourites lately have been some elegant 'home decor' business cards. Also some simple but stylish stripes and bold patterns have been amongst my latest designs.

Amazing Waterfalls

Well just got home from the gym, working off those cupcakes from Easter! Hope you all had a good one! I've been working out on the stairmaster these days, 39 minutes today! I usually do between 30 - 40 minutes. It's a great workout and the time usually goes by fairly quickly! Do you have a favourite cardio machine that you always choose or do you mix it up? I've been busy working on items for my storeShell's Designs using the pictures I took on my recent holiday to Kauai, Hawaii. I think I've created four lens so far the last one on beautiful waterfalls in Kauai. I've still got more to share too! Pop by my store and check out the cool products under my Kauia, Hawaii category! Some great postcards, stamps, magnets and more. Here are a few above.
