Vintage Camera Kits
The much requested Vintage Camera kits from my Winter CHA projects are going up on my website tomorrow. I am putting them up at two different times to allow everyone a chance to get one. If these two times sell out, I may put up a third set on Tuesday.
Please note on the kit descriptions that there is an Estimated Shipping Date. I have all the product here but it will take a bit of time to package it up into the kits.
This version is very similar to the CHA sample with the exception of the paper and the outer camera material. It will also be made from chipboard boxes instead of Configuration boxes. The camera will be covered in a cool faux leather instead of a paper that looks like leather. It looks really cool! I will have a sample ready to show by next week. The Configuration boxes I used are being discontinued and I could not get enough for the kits, so we will make our own. The look will be very similar.
On Saturday, I will be putting up the kits for the mini that is a larger version of the one in the Shabby Drawers, It is a combination of G45 Kraft Reflections and Glitz Laced with Grace. I will have a sneek peek before Saturday.
On Sunday, the The Victorian Green House kits will go up in two waves. I will have a sneek peek during my Friday/Saturday Ustream shows. We will be working on this one during my Wednesday Ustream shows and it will be done in time for Mother's Day.
Lastly, the Vintage Telephone will go up on Monday in two sections as well.
I know this is a lot of kits all at once, but I am buried in boxes of products and I need to move it out of here!! These kits will keep us going into May on Ustream. Check out the schedule over on the side bar here on the blog.

Shabby Drawers Pattern
The pattern is done and off to my web master to put up. It may not be up until morning. It is a complex pattern with lots of parts and I wanted to triple check it.
Went to the doctor for my foot today. Four more weeks of the boot. Xray shows the stress fracture has not healed. I also got a cortisone shot in my heal. Ouch. Nor feeling so good right now. Gotta put some bling on this thing....after I finish those million tags!

Swap Update
Whew! I am in shock!!!! We have 336 signups for the Shabby Drawers Tag Swap tag (from over 200 people). Wowzers! Only about 3 times more than my high estimate! I will need to the end of the week to get everyone split up into the exchange groups. Please DO NOT send your tags before April 1st....I am not ready for them yet!!
The Shabby Drawers pattern won't be up until tomorrow as I was late getting off to my website gal....cuz I was working on the tag swap!!!!
Here are photo's of the embellished drawers as well as the mini for the center opening. We will work on the mini during Wednesday's Ustream and then start the drawers on Friday.
I showed the Vintage Phone project that I made for the Graphic 45 Design Team final submission during my last Ustream show. Everyone went nuts, so I have been hunting down the parts in enough quantity for kits and I think I have found them. I will be announcing by the end of the week when those kits, as well as the CHA Vintage Camera kits, will go up....
Have an awesome week!
