WHEW!!!
I've been told, as a small business owner, that we spend about 70% on the business stuff (marketing, tutorials, follow-up, admin, you know - all the ahem, cough, cough "fun" stuff) and we only get to spend about 30% of our time on the actual creative stuff.
Seems like I've been doing all the business stuff lately. So much so that I deliberately penciled TWO WEEKS to spend time with Hubs, doggo, do things around the house, READ!!!, you know LIFE!
Yeah... best laid plans, right? So, finally got my JUNE Bikes and Blooms Paper Pumpkin kit finished. LOVE that kit!!!! Hubs participates in Pelotonia every year - EVERY. YEAR. He's using these cards as his THANK YOU notes for those who donated to his Pelotonia account! LOVE THIS!!!! *Even bought a refill so there are NINE additional Thank You cards not shown!
After all the photos were taken, measurements measured, products listed, tutorial done and emailed to my Paper Pumpkin subscribers, tutorial shared with my team in our private FB group, I "needed" to get back to that 30% creating time! That's the part I really enjoy!!!
Craft Show season is right around the corner! Cut and scored 39 of these cute little boxes! Cannot wait to show the final projects!!!! Some of the fall colors shown will coordinate beautifully with the August 2026 Product of the Month Designer Series Paper!! That DSP is just so pretty!!!!
So, what do you think is going into these little boxes? The size is about 0.5"x1.75"x3". Such a cute little box!!!
