Finally 1000 & A celebration sale

I did it! 1000 sales! Thanks so much to Lisa & Laura for getting me to 1000 and 1001! I love that both those sales were to people who saw the sale on the blog. Soooo to celebrate 1000 I am having another blog exclusive sale. I am offering 20% off your total purchase from today, June 25 - midnight EST Friday June 27th. Just type "celebrate1000" in the message to seller at checkout and wait to pay until you receive an adjusted invoice in your e-mail. Take advantage of this sale while you can as I don't plan another anytime soon!

Thanks again for all your support!! I'll be back with more inspiration in July! Here are a few inspiring shots I got from "Second Chance" a salvage yard in Baltimore. I was there this past weekend to do a photo shoot with BEST.

SALE!!! SALE!!!!! SALE!!!!


I am only 1 sale away from hitting 1000!!!! So........I am having a blog exclusive sale! Sales 1000 and 1001 will receive 25% off their order & free shipping and will receive a free item of their choice (up to a $25 value). Just put blog1000sales in the message to seller and wait for me to send you an invoice before paying. If you forget and pay, I will refund the discounted amount to you! This is only for sales # 1000 & 1001, so when I've hit 1001 it's over. This discount can not be combined with any other offer.

Here's a sneak peak at some new wall art I am working on. These are still works in progress, so they aren't finished yet. They will be available at the Crafty Bastards Show on Saturday, June 28th in Silver Spring, MD. Any that don't sell will be added to my Etsy shop the first week of July.

I'm Still Here!!!! - BPP News & Updates

No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth, I have been soooo busy with the end of the school year and the beginning of summer. I have had to put the ole blog on the backburner. This will probably be my last post for another 2 weeks as I have a craft show I am working on while trying to keep my boys occupied. I have some good artist interviews to post, but I want to make sure I have the time to do them justice and not just posting them quickly. Here is the latest from Block Party Press:

Early this year I joined the "Baltimore Etsy Street Team" (BEST) which is a group of artists in the Baltimore Area region. Look out for more info, projects and events from this group. We have a great blog going with great info about events and art happenings in the Baltimore area.

I started a new 365 group on Flickr featuring Macro shots (my latest obsession) called Macro 365: A Closer Look. Myself and those participating will be taking at least 1 macro shot a day for 365 days. Sounds difficult, but it really isn't if you carry your camera with you wherever you go and keep your eyes open for interesting things to take a "closer look" at! Don't be afraid to join the group. I am not a task master, so if you miss a few days so what, just pick up where you left off. If you are too busy to join, just come and check out the amazing creative and inspiring shots from our group members. Once I get back to bloggin, I will be featuring shots from this great group! Here's my set of shots :

Here's today's Macro shot (day 94) & my favorite shot (day 35) so far:













Here are some new items I've recently added to the shop:



















I've been published in the book "1000 Jewelry inspirations" along with a bunch of other Etsy sellers. I haven't gotten my book yet, so I haven't seen what made the cut, but a little bird told me one of my retro trees is on the back cover.

I have some pieces in the first show of the super cute Fact & Fancy Gallery's "Wet Paint Show" in Brooklyn, New York. They are having a reception on the 21st. If you are in the area make sure to stop by.



















This is what's really keeping me busy.... I'll be at the Washington City Paper's "Crafty Bastards Show" on Saturday, June 28, 2008, 10am-5pm at the Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center at 8230 Georgia Ave. (Google Maps) in artist-friendly Silver Spring, MD. Come on by and see my stuff in person. I would love to meet you!


Finally, I am only 4 sales away from hitting 1000!!!! So........I am having a blog exclusive sale! Sales 97 through 1001 will receive 25% off their order & free shipping and # 1000 will receive a free magnet set of their choice (up to a $25 value). Just put blog1000sales in the message to seller and wait for me to send you an invoice before paying. If you forget and pay, I will refund the discounted amount to you! This is only for sales # 997-1001, so when I've hit 1001 it's over. The only place I have posted this exclusive sale is here on my blog (do you feel special?). This discount can not be combined with any other offer.

Well, that's the wrap-up. I'll be back again again in about 2 weeks with some new posts! Happy summer!
