Some New Stuff

The colors on this set didn't turn out well. They are orange, yellow and navy.

Here is some of what I have completed in the last week. I am pretty much done for this year! I am looking forward to trying new things for next year. I hope all of you have a very happy holiday and a wonderful new year! Thank to all of you who have helped my business "bloem" and "grow" this year!

It's That Time of Year

Well as things continue to get busier and stay that way I wanted to let everyone one know that I will be taking orders until Friday December 18, after that all orders will not be completed until after the new year. My family and I are preparing for some family Christmas parties this weekend and then on the 23rd are heading south!! We won't return til the 4th. Thank you for understanding. If you care to place an order during that time you are welcome to do so, just know that I will more than likely not get back to you until the 4th or 5th of January.

I have some new blocks and photo holders to post later so be sure to check back!

Something new..

I saw these on another blog I follow and just LOVED them! So I decided to give them a try and put my own touch to them.

They hold photos! So cute and festive! I have so many ideas in my head for these.....oh the possibilities!!

So you can see the size, sorry it's kinda blurry!

I plan to make more of these in a variety of styles, so keep an eye out! I am working on getting some sets together and will have them up and for sale soon!! Meanwhile if you are interested let me know and I will be happy to make some for you!!

Special Orders Out the Door!

Here two sets that were ordered, I was planning to mail today, but we have a BLIZZARD, so they will go out tomorrow!

New Set

I made this set for a recent request and LOVE how it turned out! Can't wait to make some more!

Show

Thank you to all of those who came to the craft show yesterday overall it was a pretty good show. I got to meet a lot of you and that was definitely fun!!

I will be filling some more orders this week so I will have new pictures to add!! I also want to mention don't forget about those last minute gifts. I do still have some Christmas blocks, and general blocks still available for purchase.

I will be hosting a giveway in January to start off the new year.

Block Mania

Some sets that I have recently finished! Don't forget I will be at the Holiday Gift Gallery at Cherry Lane Preschool tomorrow from 9-2:30.

Thankful

I have to say that I have been so fortunate to have such wonderful support from my family and friends when I decided to take on this side business. I have really been enjoying making all the different blocks, and have even tried my hand at some new items.

Well to say "THANK YOU!" to my loyal followers I am offering a special discount. Place an order for blocks between now and Nov. 30, and use the secret code and get 30% off your order!!

What's the secret code you ask.....well the secret code is TOBY! Since that is my husbands name and he has been the most supportive of this project and dealt with a stressed out, sometimes ambitious wife!

P.S. I am sure you may have noticed the different colors and design to my blog, my last background is no longer available so I switched. I am hoping to have my blog redone in the next month, so I apologize for all the changes!

Presenting.....

The new Winter Wonderland block set! I am also working on some new designs as well!

After finding some inspiration from some friends....I have come up with a new product idea....and here it is:

It is made of wood and is painted and sealed. It also comes with a ribbon tie to hang on the wall. I am still developing this idea so any feedback is GREATLY appreciated so let me have it!
