still here

1. First off, so sorry for the not-so-great blog maintenance. I have officially moved into my new place, which though amazing and lovely and all of that, is also without a current internet connection. So sad. It's been a little strange to be perfectly honest.

2. I just listed a bunch of new things in the project 8256 shop. Lots of mini plaques. Antlers, wood grain, dear and stumps for all. Check it out.

That's about it. I would add more, but I've been staring at the computer for the last few hours listing plaques and my eyes are going a little dizzy.

I hope that everything is going well with you. More to come.

If you were still considering..

...if you should go to Blue 7 this Saturday (tomorrow!) or not, I thought I would help you make up your mind:

1. I've heard rumblings of a PRIZE WHEEL--and you know that ever since those days when you were "too sick" to go to school and instead stayed home and watched The Price is Right, that you've been dreaming of the day that you could spin a prize wheel. Here's your chance.

2. Mother's Day is right around the corner and you know that your mother/grandmother/aunt/mother-of-your-child will be thoroughly convinced that she raised you right/your offspring is destined for greatness when you give a gift from Project 8256 that is helping a family grow and orphans in Africa at the same time.

3. You love cupcakes.

4. You love Blue 7--so much so that you will wear your "I made out with Blue 7" t-shirt with pride (especially when you know that $5 from that very t-shirt is being donated to Project 8256).

5. You're a multi-tasker who loves the idea of shopping, eating cupcakes, winning prizes, listening to live music, and supporting a great boutique and a wonderful cause ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Weekends will never look the same again.

Convinced? That's what I thought.

So go to Blue 7 at their new location at May and Grand this Saturday from 11-10pm. I'm pretty sure it's going to be amazing.

Exciting news

Really exciting news, actually. Blue 7 (the absolutely amazing boutique in Oklahoma City that has been helping us out over the last few months) is celebrating their 5th birthday, and their new location at May and Grand this Saturday (March 15th). They'll have food, music, sales on their fabulous merchandise and lots and lots of brand new Project 8256 merchandise. Things like:

These little guys. I made 25 total. Each design comes in five different colorways.


And these lovelies:



I also experimented a little and made some shadowboxes. If you look closely, you (hopefully) can tell that the one on the left says "i love you" and the one on the right says "i adore you."



They will also have lots of greeting cards and even more originals. There is also a new print, both at Blue 7 and in the Project 8256 shop:

"I can see a lot of life in you." From a favorite Sufjan Stevens song.

i can see a lot of life in you.

So in other words, you should definitely try to make it out on Saturday if you are in the area. They'll be open from 11-10 pm. Support an amazing boutique and a good cause at the same time. What's better than that?

Okay. I'm back to packing up all of my belongings. Hope you are having a lovely week.
