Crafts+ studying + working = busy bee is me

@.@ ......

So... I must apologize for being so quiet lately. I'm just a smidgen exhausted. x.x

I'm doing my second wave of midterms right now. After that, essays are due. I'm also working a lot more, as I realized I don't make a lot of money every month. Working consists of tutoring, crafting, and taking notes for classes for those with various disabilities.

Despite that, I've made a few new awesome crafts that I will be showing off! <3

Mr. Saturn from Earthbound (an RPG for the SNES)

A baby cupcake cell phone charm! Because my cellphone doesn't
have any holes for charms, I put this on my wallet. =)

Pokeball stud earrings!

...and this is how they look!

Space Invader magnets! (These are especially popular with one of my friends.
He keeps buying them from me. I'm not complaining, I guess!)

Dr. Mario viruses. I pulled these from the original Gameboy game design.

Tetris-piece heart commission for a good friend of mine.
He's paying me in homemade chocolate truffles. :o

 ...so yeah, I reiterate: a bit busy. Mix that with my weekly weight loss video and a bunch of other random social-like things, and you get me... sleep deprived as ever. 

Flattering, I know. But hey, I'm still managing to smile!

I like to think, though, that everything is piecing together nicely. I designed and ordered business cards for my geeky crafts and I received them on Thursday! They look absolutely amazing! I ordered 1000... turns out 1000 is a lot of business cards... so I'll be handing them out like candy to friends, family, people I meet at events, with orders, etc. Besides, they look absolutely so cute and awesome. For those curious, I ordered them from a site called JukeBoxPrint.com. They had a fantastic sale at the time, so with shipping, my order came to only $35. Normally, the 1000 double-sided coloured gloss cards I ordered would cost $99... without shipping.

Needless to say, it was a steal of a deal, and I'm completely satisfied. If I ever run out of these, I will be ordering from them again!

Other than that, there isn't a whole heck of a lot to report. I'm entering a dodgeball tournament with my fellow Club N3rd members at 5pm today. I'll be dressed ridiculously in my hot pink Lululemon tights and my "Come At Me Bro" shirt. I'll try to get pics.

Take care! <3

My crafts are beginning to get attention!

Last week, I randomly met someone affiliated with a company that organizes LAN gaming events (LAN = Local Area Network). He explained to me that he wants his company to branch out, that he noticed my crafts, and thought he might want to help me out with promoting and selling it. So we met up a few days later to discuss ideas and show my crafts up close.

I think it went well. From what it sounds like, the company would be willing to give me some space to show off my wares. I would just give them a percentage of the item sales.

This is incredibly exciting for me. I've been doing these crafts first because I was bored, but eventually because I loved being creative and figuring out new and exciting ideas. I think it's awesome that someone is willing to give me the opportunity to see where this will go. To be honest, this is what I wanted to eventually be with these crafts. So... I'll keep you posted on how this goes! If it's not successful, it was a shot.

Wish me luck! <3
