Oh No, Gocco!

Today is supposed to be a super nice day, and i'm excited. And, oh yeah. Here's my new blog. I never really know what kind of introduction to come up with when i start these things, but i guess this is better than nothing.

What's up? Well, i'm officially a business! And i've been going crazy stockpiling materials to make more and more bags. I'm fortunate enough to work at a place where i can set my own hours, but i'd like to put 110% into crafting like i used to be able to.

Anyway. i'm being featured at Best Friends Boutique in Phoenixville, PA. !!! Hopefully, there's a good turn out and at least i'll be able to get my name out there.

In other news, i just got a Print Gocco (the PG-5 Model). I remember waking up on Saturday mornings when i was younger so i could watch Aleene's Creative Living on The Nashville Network, and they'd do all sorts of project with the Print Gocco. I wanted one soooo bad, but i eventually got over it. Then recently on the Etsy forums, people have been raving about their new Gocco machines, and again i was intrigued. So, yeah, i went and bought one from Feltcafe on Etsy, and damn, it really is super super easy to use and so much fun. Much quicker and safer than the screenprinting i used to do...washing out huge chemical-covered photo screens in the shower? Not such a good idea. Anyway, no more of that! I've got a Gocco!

I wanted to test out my new little gadget, so i whipped up a silly little customer "Thank You" note and printed it onto bright yellow cardstock and some other paper i had lying around. Here are the results:

Okay, enough stalling. I've got some prep work to do.
