Ok, my tagger is Peachtree. You can find her fascinating and informative blog here and her eclectic and beautiful jewelry here :).

7 Random Facts:

• I spend way to much time at my computer and it makes me feel guilty sometimes. Especially when Richard goes to bed before me and I'm in here at my Etsy shop doing this and that. I feel like I'm neglecting the more important things.
• 
  I love it when my house is clean but I rarely feel motivated to clean it. There is widespread panic at my house when we have unexpected (or expected) guests. It results in a cleaning frenzy the likes of which will probably not happen again until the next time somebody comes over.
• 
  I'm a good cook. For a couple of years I made all my own bread.
• 
  I have no problem with premarital sex as long as condoms are used and it's not done out of low self -esteem issues. I even feel this way about my teenagers. This shocks and terrifies my ex-husband. hehhhhhehehehh bwhaahahaha.
• 
  I absolutely hate, loathe, and despise crowds of people. This includes malls and bars.
• 
  I totally lost my girly at the job I was working at before I decided to take the radical step of becoming a self-employed photographer (see this post). I am on a quest to get it back.
• 
  I'm in love with the most amazing man in the world. This is my last random fact but the most important in my life. He encourages, supports, and believes in me. I know me has my back all the time :).

The Notecards Are Here :)

Yay, I finally got it in gear and did a photo shoot with my notecards. I've had them done, it was just the taking of the photos of the photos (lol) that I was procrastinating on. What, me procrastinate? NEVER. Anyone who has read my blog and knows of my intention of posting every day with relevant content is aware that I'm lying. So anywho, I'm going to only post one or 2 into my shop every day and that way I don't put them all out there at once. I took photos of five of them today. Of course each card gets like 20 shots. There's the card in the envelope, the card out of the envelope, the envelope insert, the outside of the envelope (front and back) and the card itself - the outside, the inside, etc. etc. Of course I shouldn't complain. The weather was beautiful, the sun was shining and it wasn't to hot yet. So, without further adieu, here is the debut of my first notecard :

The FRONT of the card.

The FRONT side of the envelope, it's 5" x 5"

The BACKSIDE of the envelope with the flap partially opened. When it's closed it looks very pretty the way the printing is on the book page (the envelopes are made from vintage books).

Opening the envelope to reveal the card inside. Notice the decorative envelope liner. I made the envelopes and liners from entirely different books. I looked and looked for pictures that would coordinate with the card inside for the inside of the envelope.

Removing the card from the envelope. The cards are actual fine art photographs in 5x5 size. I have adhered them to cardstock with photo safe adhesive. I was selling these same photographs in my shop for $15 each so at $6 per card + one of a kind envelope, it's a steal.

The card out of the envelope. Notice the blue square on the inside for writing your own note.

And here we have the envelope all by itself.

The great thing is that you're getting a card that you can frame if you don't want to send it. I mean, it would be beautiful to send but if you chose to keep it, you could always use the envelope to send a letter in. You really are getting 2 unique products. Every envelope I make is going to be one of a kind.

A bit of a change of subject, but I noticed that I've been tagged by Peachtree in my comments as in 'tag, you're it'. I'm going to have to investigate this evening and see who I can tag. This will probably mean another post later on tonight :).
