Mint To Be Stationery

ArtFire has won the 2011 About.com DIY Fashion Readers' Choice vote. Ahead of Zibbet by about 6 or 7%, it was great to see such a well supported poll.

I must admit that I am enjoying my time on both ArtFire and Folksy, which have really worked for me so far from the start. Both are still a huge learning curve for me though, particularly as I am so busy with other artwork at the moment; it's proving a little difficult to get additional goodies into my ArtFire and Folksy shops! I promise that the wait will be worth it!

Well this is my first curated Folksy Friday collection. I've decided to do linked collections to make a series, since I'm not a particularly random person. Spontaneous yes, but rarely random; my science head wouldn't allow me. ;-) So for this episode I present to you "Mint".

I enjoyed the 43 page trawl to select some of my favourite mint inspired goodies on Folksy; shame none of them are edible, I have a penchant for anything mint…

Hope you enjoy looking. I've included the links of shop proprietors if you want to have a look at their other goodies they have for sale – there are some perfect all year round gifts to be discovered!

Nowt wrong with being featured in a slightly delayed Folksy Friday is there?! ;-)

My green recycled 3.5" floppy notebook has been featured in the Cosmic Eden collection A Few of My Favourite Things on Facebook today!

What a nice start to the week! Interesting collection too!

Wow! It's nearly the weekend already. How the time flies when you're having fun and designing new goodies.... Geeky goodies at that...

So fitting that my favoured 5.25" floppy notebooks are featured in Geeky Folksy Friday by Leopard Print Bee. :-)

So, featured in another online collection!

"So what?" I hear you say?

Well it *IS* a big deal. It's a big deal to me anyway. To be honest it really *IS* an honour for someone to notice and feature your creations - as is every customer who buys it too. How *can* anyone not fully appreciate that? So every time that I receive feedback, a little email or enquiry, or my goodies are featured somewhere, bought by someone or I receive a commission for some of the other work that I do (desperately trying to get some of it online before it is sold and shipped!) you should know that this creator really DOES appreciate it and that you have actually made my day.

If I wanted a soulless shop front with bought in goods made en masse from overseas I'd be on the high street (there are plenty of empty shop shells available), but I'm not.

Whilst I was at another trade show in Birmingham, I was lucky enough to have been featured in another ArtFire collection! Once again, my green recycled 3.5" notebook has been featured; this is getting to be a mighty popular notebook! Take a peek!
Green, Green, Green – All I Want Is Green collection by A Collage a Day in Germany. :-)

...has been featured again! This time over on ArtFire in the:
Eye Candy For Bibliophiles and Wordsmiths collection by Elbie Sparks in Oz – check it out!

I am LOVING some of the cool selections in this collection. Might have to bookmark some of them. Sorry, can't but help the pun. ;-)

A great start to the weekend discovering that I have been included in another Folksy Friday blog collection today! There’s some great stuff featured in the MayTree Lane article Bring out your Geeks! alongside my 3.5” floppy notebook too – check it out! Particularly loving the Pacman soaps, Lego cufflinks and Space Invaders wine glass charms!
