Cuteness.

The Cutest, Happiest Picture

I am an amateur photographer. My Nikon D40 and I still have yet to become the best of friends. I try hard to come up with really good photos of my items but sometimes, it just doesn't work out - so frustrating. That being said, whenever I come across REALLY good photography, I just drool! So jealous. Yesterday, one of my good customers really came through for me. She sent me a link to a picture of her girls wearing my Happy Flower Headbands and I just about died! The pics are so cool! They were taken my Blue Lily Photography and they have the most beautiful pictures on their archives. Please check out their site.

The Cutest Workshop

My blogger friend Julie posted a link to this awesome studio. I nearly died - again!!! If my workspace was even half as cool as that, I can only imagine all the cute stuff that would come out of it. Oh how I wish...I was that organized. That creative. That cool. Sigh. Oh and by the way, Jenny B, the blog's author, is THAT cool. Just check out her blog and see for yourself.

The cutest, girliest things EVER!

If you have a girl, you would understand. My husband will hate me for about 10 seconds. These are some of the things that I got our girls and some coming in the mail soon. Oh well, he is guaranteed to forget how mad he is from all this cuteness. Also, more cute stuff is coming to my shop soon. Stay tuned.

The Art of Messy (a behind the scenes look).

I am happy. Happy, that my etsy shop is doing well. Happy that wholesale orders are trickling in. Happy that customers are responding well to my new items. What I'm NOT happy with is the mess that I am creating out of my little workspace.

Seriously, all my orders have caught up with me. My once neat and organized workspace is a true picture of CHAOS. There are orders done but not packaged, orders halfway done, - you name it - it's there on my little table. I've asked my husband to help finance a little sweatshop. He said that I already have one. I'm in it. I'M MY OWN SWEATSHOP. He's right. I hate it when that happens.

But before I reorganize this mess, I thought it'd be fun to have everyone take a peek at how Skylar's Candy Clips are created. Before it's put in the beautiful packaging that my etsy friend Amy did for me. So here is a glimpse of my little crafty world:

My crafting table - it's a disaster right now. Check out some of Skylar's artwork that she taped on the wall herself. The blue paper on the right is our family as "snowmen people" our dog included.

Headbands, headbands, everywhere! I love having them displayed on the table - though I wish they were a bit neater right now.

Prettify-ing some flowers to be made into hairclips. They are almost done! These are custom for a wholesale order. If you want to see them in my shop, feel free to leave a comment or email me at skylars.candyclips@gmail.com.

My Happy Flower Headbands. Don't they look so - happy?

Wholesale order ready to be packaged.

Some of my orders from Etsy - ready to ship. Don't you just love my product card holders? That is the beautiful handiwork of Amy at Playing With Paper. Check out her Etsy Shop here.

Ready for the post office! On their way to their new homes!
