I have recently decided (as in this week) that I cannot be as successful in my business as I want to without a proper creative space.My Dream Studio
Now, my house is tiny (950 sq. feet) and has NO closets (Built in 1920). Basically our second bedroom is currently being used as our closet/office. I want to turn our closet office into my studio. I need to figure out what to do with my clothes... Hmmm... And my shoes... Oh yeah, and my hubby's clothes...
My Dream Studio Next: I need to find more ways to get my business out there. Flea markets, approaching shops to carry my products.
I would love any feedback or advice any of you business people have! AND, I'd love to see your studio space! Email me a photo and I might post it in my blog thanks for your advice everyone!
I love to add vintage touches to my home. And, I LOVE birds. This weeks Thursday's Three is all about the vintage bird section on Etsy. There are so many vintage bird items that I could not include, so please check out the vintage section for yourself!
I've had such a busy weekend. Yummy food. Rummage sales. Estate sales. Babies. New shop items.
Check out below to see my weekend.

What am I listening to today while I create?
My hubby has had our computer with him at work the last few days. It is soooo hard to get anything done without my computer. I hope to get these up in my shop tomorrow! Hopefully I will get these up tomorrow. AND, hopefully my computer will stay at home next week.
I went to one of our local flea markets yesterday and I found a few items I'm excited to play with!Stay tuned to both Paper Lady Invites and Little Paper Home to see how I use these items!
Speaking of vintage items check out one of my favorite Etsy shops! I've posted their items in my blog before, but I love them so much I thought I'd show off my favorites by Spruce Home. -chelsey
I don't know if I've ever shown my wedding guest book. I had a photo booth at my wedding! It was soooo much fun! That was one of the favorites of my wedding from the guests. As far as my budget went I had to decide between a photo booth or video. I chose the photo booth. I do admit I wish I had someone record my wedding (I barely remember any of it). BUT, I absolutely love my photo booth photos. I have a copy of ALL of the photos.

Some of my bridemaids and friendsOkay fine. I admit it. The girl on the left is my sister and one of the guys on the right is my husband... Friends and family. Comments and photos got a little more silly as the night and wine consumption went on... There was wine spilt on later photos! So funny!
Grand Opening Sale through March 11th, 2009. Purchase an item and use the code: paperladynewshop in the purchase comment section and get $3 off of any item! Its only through the 11th!
It took longer than I thought, but my new shop is now open! Check it out! A lovely collection of art and birdfeeders and soon to be more!
Hope you enjoy! These can be used for more than birdfeeders. How about a cotton ball holder in your bathroom? Hold some bracelets and extras in your bedroom? Perfect little decoration!
