Aaaand We're Back!

So after a long winter, spring craft shows now abound. I'll be attending the Creators' Marketplace Show and Sale in May. I know it seems far away, but you would be surprised how fast spring and summer book up! Plus you'll have to $ave up some funds!

Should be lots of fun! I'm really looking forward to it!



I'd like to direct you to a new website, too - Canada Arts Connect. A site for professional artists by a professional artist, Desirée Ossandon. Check it out!

Well, I'm hoping to update this more regularly (I know, I always say that) now that it's "Art Sale" season! Seriously though, I really mean it this time...

Grrrr & A New Shop

Whoa! I haven't posted a proper blog on here in a while! Currently I'm super busy with The Artisans' Gift Fair this Saturday.

So why am I posting when I should be working? Because I'm mad as hell and need to vent before I stab someone...ok, I'm not really that mad, just annoyed.

I recently purchased a pack of 100 printable notecards from Staples. The brand is Gartner Studios. When I open the package the first page of cards is damaged. The company's label somehow leaked through on to the sheet rendering it unusable. So I email customer service to let them know about the problem. All I get back is "Thanks for your input. The package was either not rotated or was stored incorrectly." Like it was my fault! Well, fortunately, I only lost one page. But still, whatever happened to companies offering compensation? I would have been happy with a coupon. A whole new package would've been awesome (if improbable). At the very least they should send me a check for $0.35, the cost of the two cards. Or $8 which is the very least I would have been able to sell them for. Freakin' pain in the ars.

Blah. All better.

Oh. Yeah. And I opened a new shop. Go. Look. It'll be fun. I promise:
