I'm not really big on making holiday items because they can't be used any other time of the year. But I do love the holidays! I picked up these papers to make these journals because I thought they were subtle, but had a hink of holiday :)  Plus they were just plain cute.

Winter Hot Cocoa - Mini Journal or Notebook

tangy sweet

I had a pretty fun weekend.  First on Saturday, one of my best friends and I went downtown to eat at Teaism, our new favorite restaurant, and we went to tangy sweet. If you've never had tangy sweet, pink berry, or mr. yogato, you must go if there is one in your area! It is so good!  My BF and I determined that it kind of tastes like a mix of yogurt and italian ice.  Oh and the fresh fruit!  They don't use that syrupy, mushy fruit as toppings. They have the sweetest strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc! I am so craving some right now!

Anyway, enough about the froyo. I finally sucked it up and bought a gocco, I've been dying to buy one for years, and finally bought one on Ebay and it came this weekend! I bought a used one, but it came with everything, and extra ink.  I spent most of sunday playing with it, its actually a lot of fun. The masters are a lot easier to make than the silkscreens I usually make with photo emulsion, and a lot quicker! But they are definatly harder to clean.

I'm working on getting Saidie back up and running soon, and this time I will be using my original artwork for my silkscreened clothing, as well as a few other printed items. <---- (here's a little peek, coming soon :)

I also made these notebooks this weekend and listed them in my Bound.To etsy shop. I was so excited to get that fab yellow paper in last week!

Hi everyone! I know it has been a long time since I have posted here, but I was away for awhile.  To make a long story

short I was working a pretty stressful, overwhelming job that didn't give me much time for Etsy.  I was laid-off about a month or two ago, and it was a blessing in disguise! I love my new job and I have my life back:)

While I was at home for about a month between my two jobs, I learned the craft of bookbinding and I love it! I have set up another shop on Etsy called Bound.To. I'm still going to continue with Saidie (in fact I'm in the midst of designing some new items for the shop) but I've been focusing on my new store Bound.To and that is why my Saidie shop is empty at the moment :)

I make handbound notebooks/journals, sketchbooks, address books, and photo albums. I also print on moleskines for any of you who are moleskine fans :) 

I'm going to use this blog for both Bound.To and Saidie because I already have seperate flickrs, facebook page, e-mail address, and so on. As bad as I am about keeping up my blog, I don't think I could manage two of them :)

Bound.To is also on Flickr and Facebook - Store Page and My Page.
