FiNALLY....
I have gotten enough people to send me their things for my PROMO packs. They are great. I made up about 10 of them last night. You can see how they look here in this post. I am hoping for some more people though, because some people only sent me enough things for 10 packages. They are great though. So many goodies and discounts. AND ITS FREE with any purchase. How awesome is THAT? I know i would LOVEEE to get one of these packs along with my order. :]
All my wonderful volunteers were super nice, and GREAT to chat with. I really truly enjoyed messaging each one.


One of the people who sent me their awesome cards was Weirdbuglady. SHE MAKES HER OWN BUSINESS CARDS OUT OF USED BOXES. I turned it over, and it was the back of like a ceral box. How awesome is that? SOOO creative and eco-friendly! I tried to get a good picture of them, but thats the best i could do. This person truly has a great shop. You need to go browse..or even buy ;]

Well i will update later gators. Have a great night, and i hope your weather is as great as it is here in PA!

First PROMO pack person!

Okay, so if you read my post below, you are well aware that i am starting to do something called "Promo Packs." GratefulGoods is my very first person to be included in these wonderful, informative goodie bags!

Each customer will have the option on recieving one of these packs or not. After you have purchased from me, I will convo you and ask if you would like one. REMEMBER THESE ARE FREE. Some people would not like such things added in with their purchased good. Not a problem!

Anyways, GratefulGoods sent me some super colorful business cards ( that you can see here in this post) that will be sure to catch the attention of any potential buyer! Be sure to check out all the neat things in their shop. Including this super cute candle you see below!

I will post sometime else this week <3

Feeling good!!

Hello everyone. It has been a long time since I have posted anything here. I have been taking all of your advice, and just trying to get better! I am finally starting to feel okay again. :] Thank goodness! Sales have suffered greatly because of it, but oh well. Havent had the energy to make anything new, besides the tags you see in this post. After I'm done writing this I think im going to go try and bang out a few more items.

I went shopping for a dress yesterday, for a formal I am going to for school. Went to Davids Bridal, and found this dress, that i fell in love with, it looks better in person though. I am excited though. I love formals. :]

I really like it though when i wear the dress it falls completely to the ground and poofs out a little bit which i really like!!!

I will update later this week.

Ally.

P.s- mention this post, and ill include a free card with any purchase!
