Plugged in a CupcakeMag

Not only is this a fabulous on-line magazine, it highlights fashion, beauty, home decor, and handmade items along with Etsy designers!  My canvas Santa Bags which have been a huge hit for Swishing Tales made it in CupcakeMag.com and I am so excited and flattered with the exposure it has given us!  Take a look!

Groopdealz feature running November 26th - Santa Bag $18.50

It is definitely feeling like Christmas already!  Hope you are all enjoying the beginning of the Holidays!  I have a feature running on Groopdealz.com with my Monogrammed Canvas Santa Bags!  It's rustic a 26" x 24" canvas drawstring bag with a 10" fabric letter of your choice and color going for $18.50 (normally $30.00) - Toys not included... I know that sounds funny, but I have been asked about displayed items in the past, so just to clarify.  See link or scroll down to see letter colors.   Each bag and fabric letter is hand sewn by me and will ship two weeks after the deal ends  (most of the time earlier, but for sure by the two week mark as volume due to the holidays, as it has already picked up!  If you miss the deal on Groopdealz and see the feature after the fact, please e-mail me at swishingtales@embarqmail.com and I will honor that price up until December 15th 2011!

New Groopdealz Feature!

So I just finished shipping out the last of my wreath orders - ALL 84 of them!  The Groopdealz feature went very well with the wreaths and I have moved on to my next project!  Am signing the contract today to feature another one of my items on November 26th!  Visit Groopdealz.com on that date and check it out!  I will announce the product in a few days, once I sign and seal the contract!

Thank you to all my new and returning customers who are supporting me in my small business venture!  I am loving the creative side of it all and surprisingly, my new customers have had alot of faith in me to create things for them based on what I think may look good. 

Mucho Mahalos!

Custom Order 22" Mini - Surfboards

This was another custom order that I am just about finished with.  A customer (Hey Paula!) asked me to make two surfboards for her kids bathroom to match this adorable shower curtain that she bought...  Isn't it adorable? 
I just thought I would share since so many custom orders are coming in....  Put your orders in soon!  I am starting to get CRAZY busy already for the holidays!

So I did a few boards for her (painted front and back of both) so she could switch up her decor whenever she felt like it....  I still have some touch ups to do and need to add a little embellishment, but they are turning out pretty cute!

This one isn't dry yet, so I have to finish some of the lettering...
