I apologize for my lack of posts, but now that Serendipity is my full-time job, I am struggling to find time to blog! I have the motivation, just not the time — isn’t that crazy? If anything, I should have more time, but I find that is not the case. So many exciting things have been happening the past couple of weeks but I have to keep them a secret for bit longer. I did get a chance to have an inspiring dinner with Amy from Stem and Kim from Head of the Table. These girls are amazingly talented!

In between designing, printing, cutting and assembly I am also trying to squeeze in website updates and new photos. I have several new designs that will be posted in the shop over the next couple of weeks. I leave you with my newest save the date and wedding Passport designs. A longtime favorite, these have been revamped with more color, all metallic papers and personalized intros and pictures. Photos do not do these Passports justice — they are simply gorgeous in person!

This week is super special to me for so many reasons that I can’t even begin to tell you…but what I really want to say in this post is thank you. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this business successful — I know how lucky I am to be able to make a living at something I truly love doing!

Yesterday I received a surprise email from a gal who saw my Vegas invites featured on this blog: www.graphicfetish.com.  I have never heard of this site, but it looks really cool and full of helpful info for graphic artists such as myself, so I added it to my Google Reader. Click here to read the flattering post “8 Cards You Don’t See Everyday”.

I have been sick sick sick. So sick that I couldn’t work, which never happens! I am usually very healthy and full of energy, but this little bug really kept me down. So I apologize for the lack of posts, but it is more important that I get my customers orders finished and out the door! Thank goodness I am feeling a million times better and hope to have some new designs in the shop by the end of the week. Here is a screenshot of my Passport save the date on the front page of Etsy! I love the travel theme of this treasury:
