From Etsy to Zazzle

After 4 years my Etsy shop was closed by the Etsy managment. I was so confused that this could happen. But after I search a lot on google I found out that the are a lot of others, that had the same experience.
It left me with a sad feeling, there was nothing I could do about all of this.

I want to say to all the people like me, keep going on. The designs you made, came from you not Etsy.

I have to start all over again and it's going to be hard!!

I like to thank all my former Etsy customers. Thank you for buying one of my designs.
I already got some lovely reactions after customers found out what happend, and my shop was closed.

I will keep designing, so you can always contact me. The items in my shop came from me, the service I gave was me, and not Etsy.

So I started my first new shop at Zazzle. It's a lot of work to put all my designs in there, but the first items are for sale. And many more to come. I am so excited!
If you visit;

http://www.zazzle.nl/nslittleshop

you can see my shop.

I do realize that these are printed items, and therefor more expensive. So please don't hasitate to contact me if you want to print yourself, and need digital files.
Also I am looking for other ways to sell my designs, but I don't know yet which way to go.
I will keep you posted on that!

It was such a lovely design to work on. So I decided to sell the party kit in my shop.

Fire fighter and Mermaid t-shirts

I made Indy and Bas lovely t-shirts for Indy’s birthday party. It’s very easy. I used special t-shirt transferring paper. Just print the image you want on your t-shirt on the paper. Then cut it out and iron it on the t-shirt. There are very clear instructions in the pack that contains your special t-shirt transferring papers.

They looked so cute on Bas and Indy!

Mermaid Party decorations

The day for the party I had to bake a lot of cupcakes. Luckily it’s very easy to make them. Indy and her brother Bas helped me with decorating the cupcakes ( and eating a lot of dough!!)





They turned out so lovely, and they tasted very good.


Then we put up all decorations, banners


Welcome sign and lots of ballons!



On Sunday all family came. Indy got so many presents, but the lalaloopsy tree house she loves the most.

On Tuesday her friends from school came. We first let them decorate there own cupcake.

Then we let them craft all kinds of things. They all were so busy making the most lovely things. They had a great time.

After that they eat pancakes. The party was a success and before we know it the parents came to pick them up. Indy slept as a sweet rose that night.

Mermaid Party, the preparations.

My daughter Indy wanted a Mermaid party for her 5^th birthday. The pink Mermaid invitation for the girls and the Mermaid and Pirate invitation for the boys. So I made the invitations with all details and printed them and the envelops on white cardstock (160 gram). With a craft knife and a ruler, I cut out all the invitations and envelops.



They turned out so cute. Everybody loved them!
Next I had to make 80 cupcake toppers. So that kept me busy for some time.

Then I made the goodie bags for Indy’s friends, Mermaids and Pirates.
