Yikes~! It’s been almost 2 months since I’ve blogged. Seriously, I don’t know how you all do it. How do you find time to craft and blog when you have a job or/AND have kid(s)! So many things to do around the house (And, my house is still a mess!). And by the time kids go to sleep, I’m so worn out I don’t feel like doing anything.

Earlier this year, my son started having issues at school, medical condition (which turned out to be all okay, whew!), and I’ve been spending a lot more time for him. I’ve been guilty about not blogging and not keeping in touch with my virtual friends. But, it has been really nice not doing much other than spending time with and for my kids, hehe.

Above photo was taken last week at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, Musum & Garden. What a gorgeous place! If you are in DC area, go check it out! Krispy Kream Doughnuts shop is near by, too! Yum!

I made over 40 business card size calendars for holiday gifts for teachers and friends using Little Potato Studio’s Calendar 2012 template. Printed them on a muse studio cardstocks, put them in plastic business card cases, wrap them in small a muse studio Cellophanes Bags. Secured the bags with Holiday Washi Tapes. It was the perfect fit.

One of my customers, Mary sent me some photos of her calendars with handmade holders.

Arent’ they awesome!!! Thank you Mary for sharing your creation!

I love to craft and buy lots of pretty crafting supplies. I love to take photos and craft with them. I am an a muse studio consultant. In the past, I’ve created different websites for each of them, but wanted to combine them into one for better management and also to be more cost effective. I’ve been working on updating the website since last October, and I’m finally sharing with you.

I’ve been selling my hybrid templates on LittlePotatoHouse.com, but I’ve changed the store name and moved the products over to my photography business site, LittlePotatoSTUDIO.com.

All the template files are the same as before.

You might remember this Lucky Pouch template. I created this for Korean 1st Birthday Blog few months ago. And, it is available on Little Potato Studio now.

To celebrate my store move, I’m offering Lucky Pouch template for my blog readers for FREE. If you are here for the first time, please subscribe to my blog =)
