All happening at once

Phew, I have been neglecting this blog a little bit! I don't know where the time has gone! Lots of things are happening and everything is starting to take shape pretty swiftly. I sent off the first two Paper Aeroplane orders today, so you'll be able to buy the brand new cards in two lovely shops very soon: Boxwood in Glasgow, and Isa May in Edinburgh! This week I've been getting lots of exciting things in the post - a huuuuuge box of cards from the printers (the wonderful Ripe digital - highly recommended), as well as the first set of proofs of my teeny tiny little A7 cards which will be available to buy in packs of 6. They are super cute!

I've also been getting my Christmas cards done in time for exhibiting at Harrogate Home & Gift in just over two weeks! I've been listening to some Christmas rock n roll to get me in the mood but I think it may well be time for a Home Alone viewing..

Launch! Sort of.

So today, I decided, is the official launch day. Which means I've just posted a load of pictures onto the Paper Aeroplane Facebook page! Haven't finished the website yet so the Facebook page is a pretty good stand-in for now. My online shop will be open next week, so watch this space!

Photo time!

This morning, I went down to Dr Neil's Garden in Duddingston to take some photos of my brand new cards. I got lost, made friends with a duck, and crawled around in the grass trying to get some good angles, meanwhile getting covered in grass, dew and mud. Got some of my samples all muddy too. I think I got a bit carried away! The gardens were so beautiful and peaceful, and just perfect for my photo shoot.

getting there...

So I've finally finished all of the drawings for my brand new greetings card and print ranges - here's a sneaky preview! Just finishing them all properly on Photoshop now and then I'll be sending them off to the printers! Exciting!

In other news, 54 days until I'm exhibiting at Harrogate Home & Gift! Argh! Better get on with my Christmas designs soon....
