News from the Studio

Good morning!!  Hope this fine, fall morning greets you well.  Action Items from last post:

• Stopped working on mom's album page.  I moved 3 rooms of the house around so that we could get better "flow" as the realtor would say.  Now each boy has their own room, but I lost my studio.  I'm now a part of the living room.  Not entirely sure how I feel about this.  It makes it hard to do any work, because I don't want it to look messy.  But maybe it will be worth it in the long run.  I did, however, finally strip down the poster boards from her funeral and get those pictures filed away in the proper categories.  So that is good.  The realtor has encouraged me to reduce the clutter so all 3 of us have been going through things, and it has resulted in 2 trips to the Goodwill hut, and a couple of trash bags, and even some things sold on Amazon.  So I think that is good too.  Just a few touch up items from the move and then he can come out and take new pictures.
• Started working on my next kit.  Not sure when it will be done for release.

Looking forward

• Started working on a canvas for my secret sister at church.  She is a delightful lady, and the mom of a good friend of mine from high school.  I'm going to take their last name, and then using those letters, plug in their kid's, kid's spouses, and grandkid's names.  I've sketched it out, with some help from 014 to get the names all in their nicely and it looks a bit like a crossword.  Can't decide if I should do fancy letters, or block.
• Continue working on new kit
• Work on a mom page

Update from the Studio

Oh, wow, well, I have been very busy!  I have been working on several things, just not sure how they are all going to come together yet....  But here is a sneak peak...

I think I know what to do with the BubbleZ, but the trees I just kept playing around with different things and Oh my it was so fun!  I ended up with just a bunch of random trees.  So if you have any ideas what I should do, I'm all ears!

I do also have 1 more PaperPackZ that I want to do. Just got distracted for a bit.  By trees.  The responses to the digital offerings have been amazing!  Thank you to everyone, both paper & digital, who have supported me over the years.  It leaves me speechless!

Have a great day everyone!

Cat's out of the bag...

ok, i think it's safe to go ahead and say something, i don't think i'm gonna jinx it ..... i've submitted some sketches to an engraver here in town that laser cuts rubber and i'm going to have stamps made!  oh, i am so totally stoked!!!  on monday i will get a proof and a cost estimate (it is based on how much time it spends under the laser) so i don't have pricing just yet.  i plan on doing a limited run, so be sure to order now so you don't miss out.  I can't post them up on etsy since i don't have them yet, but send me an email (benzillascrapping@gmail.com) and let me know you are interested and that will give me a better idea how much to order.  If this goes well, and proves to not be too terribly costly, i have a ton more that i'd like to see him do.  ok, maybe not an actual ton, but....

oh, and they will be unmounted, just rubber, no cushion because it does help keep costs down ....

completely excited!!  oh, leave a comment and be entered to win a free set!
