WOW....
It has been a long time since I have posted anything and the last post was about why I hadn't been around much. Well not much has changed, still busy but that is all good news. I have even set up a table selling my items at a local art center. Besides my business keeping me busy, I have also been running and organizing a fundraiser for my local SPCA shelter. Last Nov. we raised $1500 for them with a craft show. I was even asked to go on the radio the day before to promote it and then had the TV news crew there the day of the show! I was a bit nervous but made it through. Anyway, here are some things I have made over the past few months.

Where has Jade Been???
First, just want to state that this is in no means me complaining... in fact I am very happy about all of this, I just wanted to share why I haven't posted much over the last few months.
Ok, so I have never been a person to blog everyday or even a couple of times a week) but I haven't done much blogging at all over the last few months. I have a very good reason for that!!! It isn't because I haven't been crafting anything to share, I have been doing a lot of crafts, just been so busy that I really haven't had a lot of time to take pics, edit them and post them. I hope to do more of it soon. I have also passed my weekly ad challenge on the Cricut MB to another crafter since I could not give it the time it and the other MB members deserved. So thanks for visiting and please come back soon to see more of my crafts.

My latest stamp set!
I have found some of the greatest stamps... giving my projects a little heat! They are Bombshell Stamps! They are a vintage pinup, tatoo style stamp line. Here is my first project with the "Bombshell Angel" stamp set, it is an altered domino. I stamped and colored it and added a magnet strip to the back of it.
Check out their website to see more great stamps. They also have a great forum to share your work and get ideas!

Crafters for Critters
I am organizing a fundraising/ crafts show event to raise money for my local SPCA who is having some finacial problems this year. I am very excited to be doing this and wanted to share this with my fellow crafters. Maybe someone might want to do something similar in their community. I have a small business selling my crafts that I make at local craft shows and though it would be good to do one to help the SPCA. Vendors will pay for a booth space and donate one item to be raffled. All proceeds will go to the SPCA. I am also going to have a booth with different crafts to sell where all proceeds from those sales goes to the SPCA as well. I would love to have a large variety of crafts for the booth. If you would like to help, please donate one handmade craft (even a simple card would be helpful) for this booth. Please e-mail for more info on how to help!
Thanks!
Thanks!
