More Commissions & Last Call for Christmas!

Haven’t really had the chance to work on those lofty shop update goals I mentioned in an earlier post, as I’ve had a lot of commissions lately. Not that I’m complaining, I’d love for my day job to consist solely of painting adorable animals and lovely people. Between those and my current day job, however, I’ve had very little free time for all the other shop updates I’ve been wanting to do.

On the other hand, I can start plenty early for next year’s seasonal shop update by starting all those ideas I had in January 2019!

Here were a few of my favorite commissions over the last couple of weeks:

I have to say, it’s been a huge learning curve for selling things during the holidays. From item stock to time management. It’s been rough trying to figure out the last day you can ship something and have it arrive in time for Christmas. But hopefully I’ll have improved a lot and will be better prepared next year!

Last Call for Custom Art Christmas Gifts: DECEMBER 10th!

As of right now, DECEMBER 10th will be the cutoff point for ordering any custom paintings to arrive before Christmas. (US only) This date may change if I get a bunch of orders. (I’ll keep you posted!)

You can still order after the 10th of course, but they may not arrive until after Christmas at that point.

(For international orders, I can’t really give a date due to the delays packages can face going through customs, but the sooner the better!)

 

Prepping for the Holidays & Commissions

I know, I know, Christmas still seems like miles away. Never too early to start preparing for seasonal products when you hand make them, though! (Honestly, I feel like I’m pretty late on this)

This year will be my first Christmas season with an Etsy Shop and open commissions. I already wish I had started planning this sooner but, live and learn, ya know? I’m really excited and I have tons of ideas of things I want to make and add to my shop, but we’ll see how time and resources work out for that.
