Are you an LBF fan?

I just couldn't wait until my next post to share this photo. As some of you know I designed a logo for Little Beaux Feet, a local children shoe boutique. Well the logo looks great on everything from oval business cards to magnetic car decals but by far this is my favorite place it has landed….are you ready for this???? 

Everyone all together :

AWWWWWW!

Hello New Gals

OK so I now that I have at least 15 followers not including my Mama I am motivated to blog the night away. Mama's comments are always marked as anonymous. We can't seem to figure out why she can't post a comment under her username. Oh well what ya gonna do. 

I am not a writer or a great blogger. I am a sharer. I share in my improper English and even worse Spanish what Pieces Of April is up to. This week is going to be a busy one. As I mentioned my last post I will participate in White Night Lights in Mid-City Baton Rouge. I still have a lot to do to consider myself prepared. I need to prepare the gift bags for your easy under $15 gift needs for this holiday season. I am thinking a Scent Circle and a Scent Travel Tin would be great treat for the co-worker, teacher, babysitter, & the neighbor who you forgot to buy something for who is now standing at your front door with a handmade gift Martha Stewart style! Not to worry I got you covered! 
Enchanted Mist - Romantic blend of juicy apples, enhanced and sweetened by rose petals and rich jasmine.

French Lavender - Pure, herbal fragrance of wild lavender from the hills of France.

I am also trying to beat the holiday rush by making lots of new items. All I need now is to find the time to post!  I no longer take & edit 13 pictures of one item when I only need 5 good ones! I am hoping this makes the process faster. Here are a few teasers. They will be up at some point in the next couple of weeks, well fingers crossed.

Is it really already November ?!?!?

WOW! I can't believe it's November already. Seems like only yesterday I opened my shop. I actually  celebrated my first year open in September! All has been made possible with the support of my wonderful friends, customers, other Etsy shop owners, and of course my Mama. I rarely have time to blog but have been fortunate enough to be reviewed and a sponsor in quite a few lovely blogs. A group of sweet girls have followed my shop and rallied around helping promote my shop. I am so thankful. 

New things are always in the works. Mom and I are queens of a million ideas but implementing is always a challenge. If mom were a carpenter and I were a welder we could take over the world! Alas neither of the above is true, mom probably doesn't even own a saw & welding goggles don't come in my color. There are a few ideas that have come to fruition. Moms poems are now up for grabs, on paper and ready to frame. This is only one of our collective projects.

Let us help you choose a mat for framing.

Last month we participated in a small local craft show in Big Spring, Texas. We were 2 of only 6 vendors. Etsy has been a wonderful place to start our businesses but it was awfully rewarding to see face to face the person who is buying that little piece you created. Pieces Of April will be involved in White Light Night, November 18, 2011 in Mid-City Baton Rouge. I will be at Little Beaux Feet which carries Pieces Of April in their boutique.

It's Been Awhile!

It's been a while since my last blog. Same ol' story just a different gal, busy with the house, husband, animals and I got a part-time job! On top of that I am now fortunate to have my creations in two boutiques! One is here in Baton Rouge and the other in Massachusetts. So I have created lots of pretty things you have been unable to see in my Etsy shop…maybe you could drop by one of their little shops and see them in person. Each shop allowed me to create custom logos for the items. Little Beaux Feet is a brand new children's shoe boutique in Baton Rouge. I was fortunate enough to create their actual store logo! I think it came out wonderful and can't wait to see it on their bags, business cards, signage, etc.
Grand Opening August 1, 2011!

 I have also been Scentsy-ing! I LOVE this months cute mid-size warmer which is on sale for $22.50 the entire month! 


A rich chocolate-brown warmer dish is sandwiched between a pleated base and removable dollop of fluffy frosting, sprinkled with powdered sugar accents and vent holes to release delicious fragrance.
