C'mon Baby Sale!

Hello! It's getting close to "go time" here with this baby girl (due in 8 days, eeep!), so I decided to have a last-minute sale before I shut down my shop for maternity leave. From now until Sunday night (9/14/2014), use coupon code CMONBABY to save 20% off your purchase in my Etsy shop. ($10 minimum purchase.) I'll be closing up my shop next week and will reopen it later on in September or early October. Woo! (and really, c'mon baby! I want to meet you!)

I have loooooaaaads of new prints and cards in the shop, as well as my new 2015 calendar. If you had your eye on something, now is the time to snap it up.  A little peek at some of my new illustrations and cards below!

Thanks so much!

Berfday!

I turn 33 today, even though I still feel like I'm 22 (and prolly still act like it sometimes too!)  It's been a good year so far. Nik and I are getting married in less than a month. All of our family and friends are coming to celebrate with us, and we are getting more excited day by day to see them all. Summer is coming and we're making summertime plans. The future is good my friends!  :)

p.s. Don't forget I'm having a springtime-it's-my-bday sale in my shop! Use coupon code LIFEISGOOD33 at checkout to save 33%

p.p.s. I used the recipe from Chloe's Kitchen for the doughnuts and they were realllllly yummy. Definitely more cake-like than doughnut-like, but I'll look for a yeasted recipe next time. I subbed allspice for nutmeg in the recipe, and used a chocolate-orange bar to make the frosting. They had such a nice citrus-y chocolate taste. 

It's time for my Annual Holiday Sale!

It's that time again! Every year I offer up a coupon code to kick off the holiday season in my shop and as a mega-thank you to everyone for your support all year long. Seriously, thank you! I opened up my shop almost FIVE YEARS ago (!!!), and I have come so far and learned so much and I couldn't have done it without you. 

So this Thursday-Sunday (11/22-11/25),

if you enter coupon code

MEGAFUN25

at checkout,  you will receive 25% off of your order! 

Offer is valid starting Thursday, November 22nd until Sunday, November 25th (midnight EST)

Thank you for all of your support! It means the world to me...

Michelle

B-day Sale!

This is last minute, but I'm in the party-mood and it's my birthday, so hey, sale time! I may or may not be turning 32 years old, so if you use the coupon code PARTYTIME32, you can get a cool 32% off in my shop today. Sale is only for today, and ends at midnight EST.

WOO!

Fab Sale!

Hello! My Fab sale went live last night, and I wanted to share the link with you (It's a little hard to navigate from the front page, but it is in the Kids section.) I'm super-excited about it! Check it out if you are a member (and if not, here is an invite link!) Fab is awesome and I've bought some great things off of there recently (like this cup!)  The sale lasts until next Wednesday at 7pm EST.

I'll Sleep When I Die

I'll Sleep When I Die, new print in the shop!

I often think of this phrase, during super-busy times (which seems to be all the time lately...) A bit morbid maybe, but when the days go by without enough hours in the day to get all that I want to accomplish done, I can't help but find sleeping just getting in the way! Don't get me wrong, I lovvvve to sleep (and I do it well!), but I also love what I do for a living and sometimes I just have so many ideas on the table and so few hours in the daytime. I'm sure you can relate, right?

I want to thank everyone who bought something from me during my holiday sale this past weekend, or at anytime in the past. I really appreciate it and am super-grateful to be able to do what I love for a living and to make people happy and smiley with my work. Warm fuzzies!

Annual Holiday Sale!

It's that time of year again where everyday seems to go at warp-speed, as the holiday season starts and speeds up. Or at least, that's how it always feels to me! I'm having my annual holiday sale to help you jump-start any shopping you were planning for friends, family, loved ones, (and yourself.)

From Fri. 11/25 - Mon. 11/28, save 15% by entering, at checkout, the coupon code: KITTYPARTY

Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow to my USA pals; eat lots of yummy food!

Michelle

I quit my day job and I'm having a sale to celebrate!

Yaay! If you follow me on Twitter, you might have heard my big news already, but I did it, I finally quit my day job! June 4th was my last day, but I was busy with Renegade and going home last week to visit my family, so this is my first "official" week of self-employment I guess. I'm so excited!! I have lots of plans, and it's hard to not get ahead of myself and just take one thing at a time. This was a big step, and I have been planning it for a long time (and it was one of my New Year's Resolutions! Hooray for crossing things off a list!)


So! I decided to celebrate and have a big sale in my shop! I'm having a buy one, get one free sale on all my prints!

Some stipulations:

*This is only for prints

*It's a buy one, get the lesser priced one free deal. So if you buy a 8"x10" print, you can get another 8"x10" free or any of my 5"x5" or 5"x7" prints free, but if you buy a 5"x7", you can only get a 5"x5" or 5"x7" print free. Capish?

*This is for one week only, ending next Sunday, June 20th at Midnight, Eastern Time

*When purchasing, write a little note in the "message to seller" box of the free print that you would like. Easy!

After-Thanksgiving Day Weekend Sale!

Yeah, I jumped on that bandwagon, why not! All originals are on sale AND I'm having a Buy TWO 8"x10" Prints and get ONE FREE sale! Sale ends at midnight Monday, November 30th. Just write the name of the FREE print that you want in the "Message to Seller" box during checkout.
