Say it with flowers Part 2

There's many holidays coming up that are perfect to give the gift of flowers - Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The problem with flowers is they wilt, but not when you give them a gift that features the flower(s) they love. So here's an opportunity for you to get some suggestions in of what to get your friend, family, significant other, or someone else important in your life.

Promise to update more

Sorry I haven't been around this past month, a lot has went on and I've been kind of burnt out. Unfortunately one of our cats passed away about a month ago and it was very upsetting for all of us. My animals are a big part of my family and it hurt to lose him so suddenly.

I've been trying to do more with Zazzle, so I tend to suffer on keeping up with my blog when that happens. It doesn't help it hurts to sit for long periods of time (24 weeks pregnant with a bad hip/back currently) so it makes it harder to get much done in a certain time frame. When it comes to keeping up with my blog or getting some products up, as every one can imagine it's best to focus on getting new designs added.

As much as I love doing things on Zazzle, I've been feeling burnt out. I kind of feel like taking a temporary break and going back to working on crafts for a while. I have all these different crafts I can do, which would give me a change of pace. So in the near future I might have to balance Zazzle and crafts when I have extra free time so I don't feel too overwhelmed by it all.

As for sales? Since Christmas sales haven't been the best, but this month they've been picking up. I've had a lot of health related shirts sale and someone bought some Christmas post cards yesterday. I'm quite amazed people are already buying for Christmas. I actually had someone buy a card with a photo I took:

So excited to see a piece of my photography sale, and am hoping for more in the future! Of all things I do on Zazzle my photography is my favorite thing and I'd love to see more people appreciate it.

Photography on Zazzle

A "Say it with flowers Part 2" post will be coming soon, but I wanted to take part of the time this week to show off some of the photography I've added on Zazzle. I personally love photography. My mother was the one who got me hooked on photography, unintentionally. When I was younger we used to go to balloon races and she'd bring along rolls of film and take pictures of everything that went on in the balloon races. She had some beautiful silhouettes of the hot air balloons as they went right in front of the sun. I always remembered how much she enjoyed taking all the different views and shots and it became my desire to feel the same way.

Since I got my new camera (a Canon T1i) last January I've tried to get out and take photos. From pictures of animals to farmer's markets to different areas that are in Kitsap Peninsula in Washington. I admit I take probably 500 photos just to get one great shot. I'm definitely amateur, but I don't mind it at all!! So here are some of the collection of photos I have to show off:

Still time to add your "Say it with flowers" product...

I'm looking for some good flower products still to show off. I'll probably make a part 2 and 3. Sorry I haven't done it yet, however as you can imagine trying to balance being a work at home/stay at home mom is hectic and sometimes you have to figure out what is more important to do. Doesn't help I've been sick as well for the last week - week and a half. Honestly I've lost track of how long it's been. So if you have some to show off (and haven't shown me yet) feel free to respond!! Otherwise in a few days part 2 will come out and part 3 in the next week.

Say it with flowers

Whether it be Valentine's Day, Memorial Day, Mother's Day, a Birthday, or any other special reason sometimes it's better to say it with flowers. I know I personally love getting flowers, whether it be a special occasion or just to know the person loves me. So today I decided to check out some of my favorite flower products.

I will add more "Say it with flowers" another day, as I'm still searching a lot of wonderful products and there is so many hours in a day I want to dedicate to sitting on my chair. That and my back issues aren't helping. LOL :) I hope I have given every one some ideas on possible items to get people when flowers speak volumes.
