Catching up on my Custom Orders

After having a baby everything changes and your night becomes your day and your day becomes... uh... a mess!! Anyway, after 4 weeks of sleepless nights with my baby we are beginning to sleep again during the night. I am getting all my customers orders up to date and you should be able to start seeing albums and other things here.

Do you remember this album?



Well, it's almost done. Actually there are 2 of these and both will be ready next week. Please be sure to follow my blog to come back and check out the final result.

Yesterday, I shared the custom order for 3 cards. Here are they READY!



I will share next week the details and supplies that I used on them, so be sure to come back.

Have a great weekend and remember to celebrate the real reason for this coming Sunday: Jesus Christ is Risen!

Be blessed,

Tereza

Darling TAGS and a custom CARD!

I am on a roll... First I wanted to share a card that is a custom order. Some time back this sweet lady bought one of my cards and then she came back saying the recipient really liked it and was going to frame it. So she asked me to make her 3 more. As usual I can't duplicate my cards exactly, so I am making 3 more with the same elements but all different. Here is the first one.







I will share the other 2 when I finish them.

Now here are some adorable tags that I made also these past couple of days. They are available for sale at my Etsy shop.









thanks for browsing and take a minute to say hi in the comments section. :)

Be blessed today,

Look what I have been doing...

As promised here are some of the cards I have made... they will be available in my Etsy shop as soon as I can list them. Hopefully tonight. :)

So what is next?

Baby is a month old now. Sleeping better, less colicky, gaining weight steadily, smiling and looking around. :) Daddy and siblings are bonding well and baby loves all the noise around her. Praise Jesus! I don't think I will ever have a quiet house again with 4 children. :)

anyway... my Mom and Dad are back in Brazil and I am once again in charge of my nest. I had to re-think a lot of things and organize my nest and my time. I have decided for now (it can change in a couple of weeks) to close my Etsy shop on April 10th. I have a sale going on now, so do stop by and check it out. Everything is ready to ship. I am no longer making them after the order is placed.

I really need to concentrate on my home and children right now so I am only making things and putting them for sale when I am inspired and I have the time, otherwise my family comes first and I will not stress. I love to create and sell my treasured creations and make custom orders, but I just can't right now and sacrifice my home and children. So, I will not stress and really enjoy the creative process. I will be making things because I am able (I got the time and there is no pressure) and because I enjoy. This is me preaching to myself, my own reminder.

Have you ever been caught in the rat race? It's difficult to imagine that one can create imaginable outside pressure and put oneself in the rat race. I have done it to myself many times. I need to learn to stop. So, I am stopping. :)

I have been inspired this past few weeks. I made a gorgeous 6x6 album for my Mom to take to Brazil. I never got photos though because it was raining and as usual I make things for her at the last minute. :) I made some cards and tags that went to Brazil as thank you gifts as well as to my dear friends who sent me baby gifts. Here are a few.




I have already some Mother's Day cards ready and other pretty shabby chic treasures to share. I will share them in the next post.

Please make sure to follow my blog if you would like to know when I post or when I list things in my Etsy shop.

Have a blessed week and thanks for stopping by. :)

I have been featured!

I have been busy! Our baby is now 12 days old and growing. We are finally sleeping at night and nursing well! I have many photos to share but so little time, so I will do it another time.

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you an awesome blog. One of my cards with one of my favorite verses has been featured there, so make sure you stop by and browse all these wonderful Christian artists and their creations too.

So long for now. :)

She is HERE!!!!

Wednesday, February 17th, at 2 am I woke up and decided to go play on my Photoshop and created a baby announcement card and a thank you tag for baby showers. Went back to bed at 4am and had a contraction. After contraction number 3 I got up and realized I just had 3 contractions in 30 minutes. So it was time...our baby #4 would be making her entrance into this world that day.

At 9am my water broke, at noon we checked in at the hospital. She was born that afternoon naturally with no interventions or drugs.

She is doing wonderfully. Sleeping, eating and pooping. :)

I am hoping to be back to creating and finishing my custom orders soon.

I will share more next week. :)

Thanks for stopping by. Now let me go back to snuggling my tiny one. :)

Head is down, engaged for landing!

ok, if you never had a baby you have no clue what the title of this post is about. LOL

I am 38 weeks pregnant and had an ultrasound today and I am so happy and thankful to Jesus that my baby has turned head down and is now engaged ready to be born. That is the best way for a baby to be born: head first! So we are ready. Now we are just waiting on God's timing, which is always perfect, so I am happy to wait for it.

In the meantime, I have made some more pretty things. I will try to list them in my Etsy shop but if I don't get to, please be patient I still got lots of nesting to do. Today we put the bassinet together, and we got a couple of rooms cleaned yesterday. I still need to tackle bathrooms and my computer room. I even cleaned my craft room but photos will have to wait. :)

For now, I want to share some of the pretties I made this past week while waiting for baby...






Can you guess what I have been eating? :)

Be blessed today and thanks for stopping by,
