Something for you. Something for me.

Hey, guys

I have almost reached a milestone - 100 items sold on Etsy!!! It's still pretty crazy that I have taken a hobby and an activity I did to de-stress and is now a small business. It's been a road filled with bumps and bruises but also smiles and wonderful compliments. So far I have sold 98 items in my Etsy store, and I am hoping to reach 100 items this week.

To help me reach my goal, I want to help you. Pick any item, as many as you want, and save 15% off. This is a great time to buy those card sets you have been eyeing. Card sets are already cheaper than the single card rate, but with this coupon you save even more. Buy your Christmas cards early.

This wonderful celebration lasts until Wed. It can be used on any items in my store, except custom orders.

Let me know if you have questions. Have a great day.

Yours Sincerely

Chasity

Be 1 of 30

Hey guys,

It's been a while since I written a blog. A lot of has happened in the past couple months. I have moved into a new room, went through two weeks of intense Resident Advisor training, started school, began physical therapy, did a poetry slam and the list goes on and on. 

Now I’m back and ready to blog more consistently. 

Starting today, I begin a campaign “30 likes in 30 days.” Currently, I have 70 people who like Yours Sincerely Facebook page. I would like to get that number to 100. If one person a day likes my page, I will reach my goal. 

You can become of one of the 30 here. By clicking here and liking the page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Yours-Sincerely/202323343132191

I use my Facebook page to let you know about my new products. Sometimes before they hit my Etsy store. I also promote specials and coupons via Facebook But my page is more than a place for me get you to buy my products, it’s also a place where we become partners. Over the past couple of weeks, I have uploaded pictures of cards that I am working on and asked people their opinions. I have changed the designs based on people’s feedback. 

Be one of the 30. 

Have a great day. 

Yours Sincerely

All Occasion Card Sets released!

Ever been in a rush and had no time to buy a card?

Got the card but forgot the stamp?

I have created something to solve both of those problems for you. I am so excited to announce the release of FOUR brand spanking new all occasion card sets. These babies are handmade, unique and one of a kind. 

The first set is basic. It's called Notes and includes 8 cards - 4 birthday, 1 wedding, 1 baby and 1 congrats. 

The second set is designed for folks who send cards more frequently. Letters features 16 cards - 5 birthday, 1 get well, 2 wedding, 2 sympathy, 2 baby, 2 congrats and 2 thank you. 

The third set Pages has 25 cards - 7 birthday, 2 Mother’s Day, 2 Father’s Day, 1 get well, 2 wedding, 2 sympathy, 2 baby, 1 graduation, 3 congrats/blank cards, 3 thank you. 

The final set is Novel is my favorite. It is designed for someone who gives cards frequently. The set comes with 40 cards - 7 birthday, 2 Mother’s Day, 2 Father’s Day, 1 get well, 2 wedding, 2 sympathy, 2 baby, 1 graduation, 3 congrats/blank cards, 6 thank you and 12 Christmas/holiday cards

Now that you know what comes in each set, let’s talk money. How much is it gonna cost ya???

Typically my single cards cost $4.50 but I'm shaving down that price for the card set. The more cards in the set the cheaper price per card. 

The Notes set of 8 cards is $32 making each card $4. Now if you want to add 8 Forever stamps to your set, no problem. The Notes set with stamps is only $35.99.

Next is the Letters set of 16 cards. It only costs $60.75 making each card $3.75. Want stamps? Your total is only $67.99.

For Pages, a whole dollar is shaved off the regular price. For the 25-card set, you only pay $87.50. Throw in some stamps, it’s only $98.99.

Last but definitely not least is the Novel. This 40 card set is $125 and with stamps, it’s $142.99. Buying this set saves your a whooping $55 off the single card price. 

Maybe you are loving the all occasion card set but would like to customize it to fit your needs even more? I like to give people choices so from Aug. 1 through Aug. 9 you can customize ANY of these to your likening without an additional charge. 

Let’s say 8 cards is all you need but you have a lot of weddings and baby showers coming up - you can get a set of all wedding and baby cards. Or maybe you want to get a head start on your Christmas cards this year. No problem. I can would love to do a set just for you.

Craft fair this Saturday

Hey, Guys

For the past two weeks, I have been busy getting ready for a craft fair this Saturday. All the artists featured make handmade items like paper goods, jewelry, clothing, handbags, bath and body products. I'm excited to be among so many talented people.

I decided to branch out from cards.

Here's an item I call inspirational word art. As a writer, I love words and as a spoken word artist, I know the great power they hold when spoken aloud. This word art is crafted on canvas so it's perfect for hanging on your wall - adding inspiration to your work space or any other room in your home or office.

Although it seems like summer just started, school will be in session in no time. Here are some post-it note holders that will make a great teacher gift. This is also a goodie for you to put on your desk.

This is another office item and a great teacher gift. This is a post-it note organizer. It includes two types of post-it notes, a pen and a pocket. This is great to carry in your purse to make grocery lists, keep track of errands you need to do and store receipts and coupons.

I had a ball making these babies - clothes pins magnets. These are great to hold your child's art, notes, bills or recipes. The patterned paper gives the clothes pin a jazzy look. The magnet on the back allows you to stick them on your fridge.

Check out these items and my cards at the fair.
The event is: Saturday July 16
10 am - 3 pm
Roseville Rainbow Community Pavilion
1201 Larpenteur Ave. West
St. Paul, MN

See you soon!

Yours Sincerely

Celebrate new beginnings

Throughout high school and college, I did a lot of babysitting. Babies and toddlers were my favorite age group to care for. I loved cuddling with infants and seeing the joy of exploration from toddlers. They were so excited with every new word they spoke, new animal they saw and every new action they could do. They were loving life. Being around children reminds me to enjoy life - all of it because it truly is a precious gift from God.

This weekend I decided to work on baby cards. I thought of the children I used to babysit and my friends who are expecting as I crafted.

No matter under what circumstances a child enters the world, it's still a reason to celebrate.

Each card is crafted with care. I do not have duplicates of these cards so these are truly one of a kind. If you would like a custom card to commemorate the arrival of a bundle of joy, just let me know.

Have a great day. Be like a kid and enjoy every minute of your life.

Yours Sincerely
Chasity

Oh Baby!

I have several friends who are having babies this summer. One friend is due any minute and another is due at the end of August. I wanted to start working on some cards for them.

Designing cards usually takes me the longest so I surfed some YouTube videos to get my creative juices flowing and came up with an original design.

I wanted this card to be simple and versatile. I took one design and did different twists to each card making it like an entirely new card. If you ever have to make multiple cards, it's a good idea to find one design that you like and use in different ways.

This card can work for other occasions as well. Change the footprints to a cupcake and you have a birthday card. The baby to a flower and you have a sympathy card. The possibilities are endless.

These cards will be listed this week in my Etsy shop, which you can find here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/yourssincerelygifts

Happy Crafting!

Yours Sincerely
Chasity
