AUGUST RECAP

Blog Happenings for August 2014 

 This has been my first full month of blogging, and I have had a blast! I've learned quite a bit and hope my blog will get better and better. I had my first blog giveaway.

Joyful Birthday B1419

 

Annual Inspirations idea book

Patricia Barak chose the Joyful Birthday stamp set, and will also receive a copy of the new idea book. I will have another give-a-way during the last week of September. The winner will be randomly selected from my newsletter subscribers. 

I ran my first blog series on Stamping Basics, and filmed my first video. Filming a video was certainly a lot harder than those YouTubers make it look! 

All of my sales this month came directly from my blog, and orders from some of my loyal customers. I was not able to get out and have any home gatherings, but will still be able to donate $40 to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through their Light the Night Walk. My goal is to be able to donate $100 each and every month. Thank you so much to those of you who are making these donations possible.

 

 I participated in my first Blog Hop with some wonderful Close to My Heart ladies. We each listed the 5 things we couldn't craft without. If you missed it, check it out here "5 Things I Could Not Craft Without"

I started my Crafts for a Cure Club, and already have several participants. If you are interested in joining, you can find the details here Crafts for a Cure Club

 I have started a Facebook page for my crafty business, cancer research updates, and fundraising. If you are on Facebook, please give it a look, and a like - dedrascrafts4acure

Next week I will let y'all know about all of the specials for September, including the new Stamp of the Month. I am working on Halloween cards, and a mini album, to share with you. I hope we will have an announcement soon on the availability of the new Artfully Sent cricut cartridge. I will keep you posted on that also.

Is there something you want me to blog about in September? I would love to hear your ideas, please leave a comment below. 

Thank you for all of your support,

Dedra
