holiday open house & sale ::

i've been working hard to get ready for a little holiday open house & sale that i'm having {after being hounded by some of my friends who really though i should have one! i'm not so good at saying no, so i gave in and said yes. i am excited about it and looking forward to a fun weekend, but am a little anxious too}.

here are a few pictures to capture the craziness around here as i prepare ::

and you thought kitchens were for cooking ::

lots of etched glass jars just waiting to be filled with hot cocoa mix & mini marshmallows and then doctored up with a bit of cuteness ::

some of the stuff that's all ready to go::

LOTS of magnets::

my plan is to make a bunch of paper flowers in christmas-y colors to sell, but we'll see if i have time for that::

better get back to work . . .

I am LOVING the "simplify" sign in yellow. How cool is that?! Love it. Looks like a lot of fun stuff. I hope I can swing by to see all your craft goodness!

about 5.eleven design

5.eleven design is a small company dedicated to creating beautiful, unique and fun greeting cards and gifts both for the special occasions in life and, more importantly, for everyday! I have been creating unique cards as well as providing original designs for weddings, births, celebrations, small businesses & more since 2004.

People ask about the significance of the name 5.eleven design. I started making greeting cards because I love to send cards to people on special days for sure, but more importantly for me is to send them to be a bright spot in an otherwise regular day! I love to encourage others and make their days a little better. By making and selling fun, unique cards I hope that others will be more apt to do the same! 5.eleven is the reference to one of my favorite verses from the Bible found in I Thessalonians 5:11.

"so encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing."
