January 2013 Caskey Family & Business Updates

 
Relaxing with some magazines & hot tea

Sorry I haven't posted on my "Mom" blog for a while! I've been focusing on my family and business, The PaperCrafter's Nook, a lot lately.

As for family, my husband went through a bad car accident; we're dealing with the fall-out from that. The Lord and angels were watching over him because the damage was so extensive to his car that he really could have died. He is dealing with physical therapy 3 days per week and various doctor and specialist appointments. But, he has no broken bones or major internal damage. Thank God!

As for the boys, they are both doing well in school {Evan in kindergarten and Tyler in preschool}. However, Evan is sick today though with some stomach flu that's going around the school. It's one of the few times Evan "relaxes" and takes naps.

As for business, I've been creating a lot of crafts and art to post to my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/papercraftersnook Mixed media and collage art are my new focus. Textures are my favorite! I've been experimenting with different paper craft techniques to make unique fine art greeting cards and fine art. So far, I've gotten a lot of great responses to my Etsy shop and have had some of my items included in treasuries.

Since wedding season is coming up, I've already sold one invitation suite from my Birchcraft Studios line of invitations to a bride to be married in May. I'm looking forward to helping more brides as the wedding season rolls on! Birchcraft Studios is offering free lined envelopes with the purchase of wedding invitations through the end of this month. You can view and purchase wedding invitations from me directly on the following website: www.yourinvitationplace.com/pcn.

In addition to wedding invitations, I also carry holiday and all-occasion cards for personal or business use by Birchcraft Studios: http://holidaycardwebsite.com/tpcn/.
 
Snowy outside!
On a different note, it's snowing here in Pittsburgh today. We were supposed to get 3 - 5 inches, but my husband said it was reduced to 1 - 3 inches for our area. We shall see...

One of the things I like to do during a snowstorm is kick back and relax with a good magazine or book. If you're looking for a new magazine, check out my deal for you from my blog: 45% off or more on best selling magazines!

Blessings,
