Welcome back!

Wow, ok, it's been a while? ya?
 
Right now I am sick with a bronchial and sinus infection(s), with some vertigo.
It's been about a week.  And probably another week, or so, maybe longer - we don't have medical insurance, so I don't know if I'll be able to get to a doctor.  WHY no med. insurance?  Dave just got a new job and we can't get coverage until after 90 days.  It's too expensive to pay out of pocket for us. 
Anyway, I'm sick at the worse possible time, without insurance.
 
But, I digress...
I am here to say that Bazaar season is here again!
And this will be my last season!
Yes, you heard right, my last season to peddle my wares around town.
I have been busy at my Etsy shop :  https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtsyCatDesigns
And found that I need to spend more time and energy towards it.
I currently have 160 items listed, and my goal is to add a new listing everyday.
I have sold 71 items since opening in Feb. 2003.
I hope to reach 100 by the end of the year.
So, please stop by and share with everyone you know!
AND
Use my Super Coupon Code:  20PERCENTOFF for 20% off your entire order!!
 
Another goal is to start blogging regularly again.  I want to reach out to my friends and customers through blogging, so we can have better relationships.
 
In doing so, I hope to be able to reach more people and share my art, crafts, and my story.
 
 

 
Happy Everything!

Can you believe it?

It's BAZAAR time again!
I haven't been here for ages,
but I just wanted to post what kind of art & crafts I have been working on.
 
I have my Etsy shop going.
As you can see to the RIGHT of this post:
Right now, my shop consists mostly of my jewelry designs,
with a few of my ACEOs (art card editions and originals).
Hopefully I will get more in there soon.
 
Below are a few photos of my Bazaar merchandise.
I have been working on some new crafts and doing some updating.
And as soon as my events have been finalized and booked,
I will come back and post my schedule.
 
Thanks for visiting!
Melanie

It's been a long time...

since I've been here.
Life has been a crazy one.
 
I haven't done any scrapping for over a year. 
I'm mostly concentrating on my Art, Jewelry, and other craft fair stuff.
 
I finally have an ETSY shop:
 
Right now there is mostly jewelry, some hair pins, and one ACEO.
I plan on adding more art soon. 
 
Here are a few things in my shop:
 






Well, it's sunny and warm outside here in Hillsboro.
So, I better get outside to enjoy the nice weather while we have it!
I would love to here from you, my friends,
what have you been up to?
 
Take Care,
Mel aka Scrap-alicious aka ArtsyCat

It's time again!

Can you believe it's time?
 
Time for what????
 
 
Christmas Bazaar Season!!!
 
I've already gotten 5 e-mails/letters from Bazaars asking me to sign up.
 
I will be doing 2 of them FOR SURE...
the EVERY HUSBANDS NIGHTMARE BAZAAR
and the GARDEN HOME RECREATION CENTER BAZAAR.
 
I am looking into a few new bazaars too, hopefully in different parts of the Portland Metro Area!
 
Some exciting new things this year too!
 
I will be activating my ETSY store and selling some of my crafts online!  I will keep you posted and let you know when that happens!
 
And I will be adding some NEW crafts to my already big list, also doing some changes to some of my crafts,
to keep them fun and exciting! 
 
Some new things will be mini canvas art, my own original art pieces.  Also, prints of my art, on Greeting cards!
 
Changes to my hair accessories ~ was a must this year, since I see them everywhere in the stores!  So there will be more GLITTER, and GLITZ, as well, as the addition of FEATHERS! 
 
Whew, I better get back to work!
Lots to do!
Be sure to check back to see my progress and to see some photos, to be posted soon!
 
Happy Crafting!
