Happy Friday!! :)

Hello and Happy Friday to you all! I just thought that I would let you all know the exciting news... I should be back to making videos for my YouTube channel VERY soon!! I am hoping that in my next video I will be sharing with you a very large Simon Says Stamp haul...my order is still in its "PENDING" stage, so it may be a little bit longer before it arrives, but I will be sure to share my goodies with you when it does. I also have decided to subscribe to the Simon Says Stamp monthly card kit where I hope to share with you the unboxing of the kit as well as a few cards I create with the kit itself. I hope that you all are as excited as I am for for my future videos and that you stick around to see them!! I hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend and I will see you soon!

Twin Diaper Trikes

Happy Wednesday! I know I have been MIA for the last several months and I am truly sorry for that, who knew that life and work could get in the way of doing things that TRULY make you HAPPY?? Well anyway, I wanted to share with you a custom order that I was asked to create for one of my mom's co-workers back in July. My wonderful customer came to me asking if I could make a couple of diaper trikes for her daughter's baby shower whom was expecting TWIN BOYS! Of course I lept at the chance, who wouldn't!! :) Granted I had some difficulties finding a color scheme that my customer was happy with...when making a custom order you are truly at the will of products that are at your disposal. But in the end I was happy with the finished product and most important my customer and her daughter were happy...which is all that matters to me :)

I was also asked to create 24 baby invitations for the baby shower...I had several "elaborate" ideas, but felt that keeping the invites simple and the embellishments to a minimum would be best seeing as though the invitations had to be mailed and excess bulk would require extra postage. So seeing as though I decided to go simple, I was at a loss for simplistic twin invite ideas, so I turned to Google...good old Google :) After scrolling through a TON of ideas, I finally stumbled upon a photo from polkadotpixgal.blogspot.com and fell in love with its simplicity and CUTENESS!! And decided to give it a go. Thank you polkadotpixgal for the inspiration!!

Custom Orders

Happy Thursday to everyone! Today I wanted to share with you a custom order. I am not sure if you are aware that I do welcome custom orders and actually find them to be fun and quite challenging at times. This particular work was requested by a client of mine who was looking for some cards that could be given in sobriety support groups or to those who have been affected by a loved ones struggle with drinking. At first I wasn't quite sure how to go about creating such cards, but my client supplied me with a few sayings that were often used in these support groups and I was off and running. I actually was contacted by this client well over a couple of years ago and have been creating cards for them off and on ever since and have really enjoyed the challenge of coming up with new designs. All of these cards pictured above are available for purchase, if you are interested, please contact me a saraannecreations@hotmail.com and I can add them to my Etsy shop. (Prices for my cards usually are around $4.00 per card or 5 for $15.00 +shipping, however prices can fluctuate depending on difficulty and supplies used) You can also contact me at the same email if you would like to place a custom order of your own! I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday, and thanks for visiting my blog!

UPDATE...

Happy "Hump" Day everyone. I hope you are all doing well :) I just wanted to take a quick moment to give you all an update about me and my YouTube channel. I know that it has been quite a while since my last video...not due to me having nothing to film, but due to poor filming equipment to say the least. All of my previous videos have been filmed on a simple point and shoot camera, which not only makes it difficult to tell if I am in frame or not but the audio that accompanies my videos is very poor. So I have ultimately decided to try and put off filming until I am able to update my filming equipment. I hope to invest in a camcorder with a swivel screen so that I can see where I am filming vs. guessing and hopefully with a better camcorder will come better audio...fingers crossed. I know that this isn't the most ideal situation, however, I much rather film higher quality videos with better quality audio than to have my viewers squint to watch my videos and wear headphones to hear them. I hope that you all will understand my reasoning here and will stick around for many many more future videos to come. I plan on updating my filming equipment within the next couple of months (hopefully...) with new videos to come soon after. I guess that will do it for today. I hope you have a great rest of your day and I will talk to you soon!

The Future of my YouTube Channel...

So as many of you may know, my previous videos have focused on DIY Wedding Videos, where I share with you DIY wedding projects that I did for my own wedding. Since my wedding was well over a year ago, I have been debating what to do with my channel and have decided to continue sharing with you craft related videos. When I originally started my channel, my ultimate goal was to share with others my creative passions and to inspire others to create and I hope that starting with this video, I will be doing that. I can't wait to see what the future may hold for my channel and I want to thank everyone who has viewed my videos, subscribed and have supported me thus far.

Episode 5: DIY Bridal Bouquet & Boutonnieres

Hey everyone, if you haven't checked out my YouTube in a while Episode 5 of my DIY Wedding Series is up!

I haven't posted any videos as of late simply because I am not sure what other DIY Wedding projects I can share with you from start to finish. Many of my other DIY Wedding projects I created for my wedding are either detailed, time consuming or both, so it would be nearly impossible to share with you my step by step process. However if you have any other video requests, let me know and I can see if there are any that I can do. I hope you all are having a wonderful Friday and that you will have an even better weekend.

DIY Wedding Favors

Hey all, I FINALLY added a new edition to my DIY mini wedding series. I know that I am not the best video poster, but I still hope you love my videos all the same and hope that one day I will get better at posting videos on a more regular basis. I think filming and posting my DIY wedding series videos are harder for me because my wedding has come and gone and trying to find all of the supplies I used to create all of my wonderful little DIY projects can be quite hard to find if not impossible. With that said, I still hope that you have enjoyed what videos I do have and that they help inspire you to create unique things for your own wedding or events. I look forward to creating more videos for you in the future and hope that you have a wonderful Thursday!!
