Hair Bow Holders

I've previously mentioned that I was going to make hair bow holders, and ta-da! I have two complete.

On my Etsy storefront, I have listed, under the Wall Plaque, an option of adding ribbon to the bottom to create a hair bow holder. My very first Etsy sale was this option for a lucky little girl named Olivia! :) I thought it turned out great!

Embroidered Hair Bow Holder $24

This next hair bow holder is an experiment. I wanted to do a fun and whimsical hair bow holder for a more playful room. This is a 12" diameter circle cut from multiple layers of chipboard--very light weight.

The edge is finished with thin ribbon (you can barely see the light purple ribboned edge), and the initials and background are cut from paper. The back of the piece is also covered in paper.

Holes for ribbon placement are finished with nickel grommets. Ribbon is tied in a way so that the holder is flush with the wall. Coordinating buttons and thread top off tied ribbon. Price would be $20.

So--what do you think? Is this hair bow holder worthy of an Etsy listing?

This last image is another bucket hat I just finished for a friend. Just wanted to show that I can do short names, as well as the initials you saw last week. I'm hoping I get a few more new things finished this week to share with you next Tuesday. Tuesday is my unofficial update day for this blog, so check back weekly!

Have a great rest of the week!

Your Input AND...A GIVEAWAY!

Are you excited that I said GIVEAWAY??? ;)


Well FIRST, I need your input. (Making you work for that giveaway, huh? Just kidding!) I know peeps are viewing the blog, but I'm not getting much feedback. I know I am creating things you can't find just anywhere, but I want to know, "WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCTS DO YOU WANT?" Also, is there something I should change about the layout that would help you find what you're looking for and purchase an item easier? I've tinkered with the idea of an Etsy site, but if I can streamline this blog, it may benefit all of us!

SO, now to the good stuff. My very first, of hopefully many, will be a WALL PLAQUE!!! (Value of $22 plus free shipping!) A wall plaque is a perfect addition for any little girl OR boy's room! This 5 1/2" x 12" rectangular wall plaque will be made out of light-weight wood, wrapped in batting and YOUR CHOICE of fabric and YOUR CHOICE of embroidery & ribbon for hanging (and obv. your choice of name or initials). With all the options of customization, you will be receiving something that will match your child's room perfectly--and for FREE!!! Talk about a sweet deal!

Now you might want to know how to enter this fabulous giveaway. It's easy! Just leave a comment related to the questions stated above (only one comment per person please!) You will then be placed into a random drawing. You have until Saturday, May 30th to leave a comment that includes a link to your blog or your email, so that you can be contacted if you win.

Also, TELL YOUR FRIENDS! This may sound odd when you're trying to win something, but it will benefit you in the long run. In ADDITION to the giveaway, I am offering a 10% DISCOUNT for referrals. So, say you tell Jane about this great blog called GREAT DAY GRAPHICS & DESIGN ;) and she orders something. MAKE SURE she let's me know that you referred her and YOU will receive a 10% DISCOUNT on your next purchase!!! There's no limit for the amount of referrals you can rack up! Yet, another sweet deal in one post!

Become a follower to this great blog! (I may do a special offer for only my followers at a later date!)

Add this button to your fabulous blog! (Let me know if you have any issues with it.  You should be able to Copy and Paste--Ctrl C then Ctrl V into your layout--I think.)

Join my group on Facebook, created by my brother's fabulous girlfriend to help promote my business.

And by the way, THANK YOU to all of you who do check out Great Day Graphics & Design! You rock!

Baby Showers Bring May Flowers

So, I've been on yet another temporary hiatus, but now back--and hopefully in full swing.

This past weekend, I helped hostess three, yep THREE showers (and yes, in ONE weekend).  Two of those showers were Baby Showers for two very dear friends Jayma & Cacey.  You've seen a few things I already made for Jayma's baby, Molly, but we kept Noah's momma Cacey in suspense.  Haha!

Remember if you want to order something, just email me at the address listed on the right side-bar, and we'll make it happen!  Everything is custom-made to you and your needs!
