Celebrate American Presidential Inauguration with Butterflies
Well this is a special butterfly that has been designed in celebration on the Presidential Inauguration on Jan 20th. No matter what your political views this is a new beginning for the American People and I hope some peace and harmony will come with the change.
As a proud Australian we have seen so much of the USA over the years and the one thing that stands out is how Country proud it's people are. With that in mind I have designed this butterfly in your Flag colours to help you celebrate this year as the butterfly is a metaphor for Change, Beauty and Peace.
In this pack you will recieve 12 butterflies that can be stuck on windows in car or home, worn on pins on clothing, stick them on your office computer. Give them to friends to celebrate this new journey. Attach them to cards or decorate some celebratory cakes. Would also be good for 4th of July celebrations.
:Please note these butterflies are printed on transparency plastic. White is not a printable colour so they would need to be put on a pale colour to get full affect.

Christmas needs 3D Butterflies too.
I love being creative and you need to be, to fit butterflies into Christmas. Most people have a colour theme so I was quickly thinking on my toes. "Pretty in Pink" was a good idea for pink butterflies on a white tree.
With our tree at home I have place the natural series 3D Butterflies on little gold hooks in the side of their wing. I have bent their wings and they look like they have landed on the tree and it looks terrific. I then used the transparent sticky dots and stuck a mixture around a silver ball and hung that on tree.
To finish off look they will be attached to napkin rings and will go on the table centrepiece of pine cones and other christmas enhancements.
Now setting aside decoration they are also so thrifty yes effective to send for a little token Xmas gift inside a card. Just place one or two inside a card and surprise your friends. They come with sticky dots so they can stick them anywhere and remember you :)

Butterflies for Breakfast on a Sunday
A New place to show my 3D Butterflies
It is 8.30 am on a Sunday morning and a silly bird woke me from my nice dreams to face another day. I have been working so hard lately with the help of my incredible web designer. I have had an old website for a while but this is a new beginning with a Smart, User Friendly and Gorgeous Store Front.
I am going to be proud for my cusomters to see the beautifully set out site with everything easy to access and great photos that display the 3D Butterflies as they are. So many people ask me what is the best way to sell online and for a crafter that hasn't usually got business know how it can be daunting. I think sites like this make it easier to get your name out there and let's face it this is much easier to sell at than sitting in a cold hall at a craft fair that 10 people may come through the door and they don't want what you have got to offer.
I love selling online and one of the best things is the positive feedback you recieve from customers, you do not get that warm fuzzy feeling from a sale in person generally. Online it usually comes as a printed note reminding you daily your efforts are worth it and it can lift your spirits.
As I am typing away here I can see 2 new people have marked me as a friend and I just got here and one has even left me a review. That doesn't happen as easily in real life. I hope being on this site makes me smile and others learn more about me and my crafty offerings. My life and heart goes into making these 3D butterflies from design to packaging, it is all done by my little crew.
