Busy Work

 I'm sorry I have been so absent lately.  Busy and work have been my lot this week but I squeezed in some pseudo-creative time tonight.  I like to add a little something extra to my Etsy orders and I have a theory that people will be more likely to keep a bookmark than a business card.  I do use little Moo cards for small packages, like Altoids, but I send along a bookmark any time it fits in the package.  I used to make them myself by having a template I made color-copied and then gluing them together.  I recently found this company where I could have them professionally printed for LESS than the color copies and gluing.

 I have a big stash of colorful balls of pearl cotton that are perfect for making the tassels.  I was out of finished ones and making them one by one as I packed up each order so I sat down tonight and made a pile using every color in my basket.

The bookmarks are the same collage I use for the banner in my Etsy store.  One side is the address and the other side says "Art and Inspiration".
A little mindless busy-work to sooth my soul.
