Life has been crazy in our house! Non stop everything since before Thanksgiving. While on vacation, my vintage book page wreath was featured in a Treasury on ETSY. Things have snow balled since then.

On our way to the St. Louis arch. |
While traveling to Texas we stopped off to spend the afternoon in St. Louis. Did the arch & had some lunch. When leaving I decided to check my email. I had a custom order request for 4 of my wreaths to be used in the window displays of
Hotel Rex in San Francisco, CA. So here there we are traveling on Saturday & me figuring out how to make & ship them in the next 2 days!
Bought some supplies IL, then in OK, and made the wreaths Sunday night after getting settled in at my Father-in-Laws home in Texas.
(can you believe my step mother-in-law even had fresh flowers in our room! Sooo nice!)
I’m happy to say they were shipped the next day & I can’t wait to see the pics of the display soon!
But this is just the start of crazy. Since the start of the trip I have had a steady order of my wreaths & LITERLY have been making wreaths every moment possible to fill orders & trying to get ahead of them as well. It really is true….if you love what you do , others will take notice. It feels so great knowing that people out there love it as much as I do.

Finishing up one of Fridays order & celebrating with a well deserved glass of wine! |
As for now I’ve caught up & shipped all orders several days before expected ship date. Now I'm making a nice supply of them so each will ship the same day of order. I've had so much fun with these wreaths & have been coming up with some "new" ways to use old books too. Can't wait to show you those later!

Wonderful for you! Sorry it intruded a bit on the family trip, but glad you're getting recognized! Love the recycling. :)
I'm so happy for you that your skills are being recognized and appreciated! Getting paid is a plus as well! :) Good for you!
A traveling artist, better than a starving artist. St. Louis is a fun visit, I need to get back again.
