Back from Vacation!

Hello!

I'm back from my week of vacation, which was WONDERFUL! If you're interested in viewing some pictures, please click here!

While I was on vacation I ran into a shop around the corner from my boyfriend's home called Just Scrap It! Wow! What a cute little shop! They must have everything under the sun!

One line that Just Scrap It! carries that I hadn't experienced before is BoBunny. It's so adorable!! I can't believe I was so blind! Ha! So now I'm looking for new lines. What are your favorite paper lines?! Do you have any suggestions?? I'd love to hear what you suggest! Leave a comment below and let me know!!

I was also introduced to Melody Ross's paper design from GCD Studio. WOW!!! And Stella and Rose Stamps?! Forgetaboutit!

I'm also pretty excited to say that I finally placed another order with Kimmie. UG! Such a difficult decision! Why can't we all have an unlimited amount of cash flow?! ;) Kraftin Kimmie is by far one of my favorite companies - along with bombshell stamps, of course (which has some great new stamp designs that you should check out) and are my two wonderful Go-To's!


Cheers,
Xo, Rachael

    Hey Rach! Looks like the paper bug has bitten you hard...lol!

    I popped in to see how you're contest is going, but I don't see your Friend Connect. You had boatloads of followers last time I checked. Hope everything is ok. By the way, the blog looks fabulous! Love this crazy font. So much fun!

    Take care.

    Hugz, Cheryl

    Thanks Cheryl! Yeah, I was redesigning and...I've given up on the friend connect. I don't know how I lost it again. Really aggrivating!! :*( Contest is going well. Gotta figure ou the friend connect again, I think I accidentally deleted it and it won't let me reinstall. :( How are you, my dear?

How To Effectively Sell: Part III - FABG!

Hello All, Let me preface this post by saying that the FABG selling technique is not my original idea. When I was in commission sales I read a selling book that saved my life (and my paycheck) by Harry J. Friedman called "No Thanks, I'm Just Looking". While not the most well written book, Friedman does a great job of explaining how his years in the industry have helped him to form his professional retail sales techniques and turn shoppers into buyers. I recommend you pick this book up! It has saved my bacon many many times!! So, What *is* FABG? FABG stands for Feature, Advantage, Benefit, Grabber. Any item can be FABG'ed. Features - features are parts of the piece. Either a part of the piece or a characteristic of the piece. Often times this is the size, color, texture, materials used, etc. Advantages - this is tied directly to the features of the item. An advantage is what the customer will gain from the feature. Friedman uses the phrase "which means...

Artist's Collective #3 - Maeve Brennan

Image
I first heard about Maeve after reading Kate Bolick's  Spinster    at the beginning of 2016. (At first I hated this book, but then it grew on me as Kate's story continued, but I digress.) Brennan is one of Kate's Five Awakeners and consequently, one of the people in my Artist Collective. I think that Maeve lived the life that she wanted to live and I think because of that she is a strong female role model. Suffice it to say, Maeve Brennan was thought-provoking at the least. I've included Maeve in my Artist Collective series because she inspires me to challenge myself artistically. She wrote in one way or another her entire life, even toward the end when she literally had nothing left. There are people who talk about doing something, being a creative and producing work, and then there are the people who actually DO it.  Maeve reminds me that life is short and you need to live your passion because it can all be taken away in the blink of an eye.
