Craft Lake City

Craft Lake City is happening this Saturday, 2pm-9pm on Gallivan Avenue (behind the Wells Fargo Building). If you read my other blog, you have probably already seen a post about this.

If this is news to you here are the deets. I have a small little business selling vinyl chalkboard decals. We were accepted as a vendor for Craft Lake City. We participated last year and loved it, so we submitted our application this year and were accepted again. Woo Hoo!

I highly recommend making time to stop by Craft Lake City on Saturday. There are 130 vendors, live bands and food. The vendors all make their wares and have fabulous talent!

This is a great time to pick up gifts for others or just splurge and buy a ton for yourself. I know I left last year with several fabulous things.

Come check it out, and while you are there stop by and say hi.

Cleanse & misc. housekeeping updates

I know I was going to post this on Saturday, but between everything going on at Craft Lake City and then leaving the next day for the saltflats it got looked over. Finally tally after 28 days is a weight loss of 10 pounds. Woo hoo!

I am going back to the wellness center in a little over a week and will see what will be the next step.

In other news.. thank you to everyone who came out to Craft Lake City and stopped by my booth and said hi. My apologies to those of you who came early while I was still having a minor stress out. Thanks to the fam who ran and got me a plug adapter. I never ended up getting the laptop hooked up to the wireless, but at least I am now set with an adapter if I ever need it again. Also, thanks to my mom and Chicka & hubby. Without them I never would have been set up in time.

I hope everyone had a good time and picked up some fabulous things from the vendors. I know I did!

Busy Bee

The last little while I have been prepping for Craft Lake City. I have even put Jon to work asking for his assistance with painting. For my display I found some nice tables, but of course I had to make things difficult and insist that they be painted the colors I wanted.

I've been a mess the last few days trying to get everything accomplished that I want to. Here's a shot of my the current state of my craft room.

Part of my stress is due in part to the fact that I have to do a mock set up tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn for the Channel 2 News with Casey Scott. If you are up that early tune in and you might get to see a sneak peek of my both and maybe yours truely!

Mark your Calendars...

Two weeks to go!

Spell It Out craziness

Business at Spell It Out has been crazy this month. At the beginning of the month I launched my line of vinyl chalkboards. I hoped they would do well but wasn't expecting the amount of coverage I got regarding them. I have been featured on two major design blogs and have sent chalkboards as far as Australia - all in a month!

I want to thank all of you that have been supportive in this venture. But most of all I want to express my thanks to Jon. Although I have personally told him on many occasions that I appreciate all of his help, designing and support in this business - all of you should know as well.

I hope the success of SIO continues and that Needle and Pin Productions is just as successful.

All updates, media highlights and product releases for Spell It Out can be found at the SIO blog.

Vinyl Chalkboards

The wait is finally over! My big announcement is that Spell It Out has newly designed (thanks Jon) vinyl chalkboards. I am super excited about these. As I have mentioned to a few of you I have been wanting to change the direction of Spell It Out a little. I will still offer vinyl letting and such, but I wanted to start offering some fabulous home decor items. This is the first of many things to come. In this post I am highlighting the first home decor chalkboards we have to offer.

The Victorian

The Ribbon

The Martha

The Crest

(The Crest is available as a solid or with element trim. Both styles seen above)

Each of these frames is available through the Spell It Out Etsy Store. Please note this is a different Etsy store than the Needle & Pin Productions. Also, we will have different home decor and styles for children in the coming weeks. You can always check in on what's new at the Spell It Out blog.

If you don't already have some, you might want to go to the store to pick it up.
You are going to need it.

Stay tuned.

100th post!

Yay! It's my 100th post. I am just going to take a quick moment to let you all know that I am working on some brand new vinyl designs and hope to have them posted in the Spell It Out Etsy store before the end of the week. It's something new and original and I am hoping you all will love it.

Be sure to check back. I am super excited about these!

New Holiday Decorations

There are new holiday decorations posted on the Spell It Out blog.

Spell It Out Vinyl - Project

New project posted on the Spell It Out Vinyl blog. Check it out!

Spring Vinyl Special

I was asked the other day if I could make another board like the one I made for Lissa and Travis. I decided that I would run a Spring special and offer everyone the chance to get a board if they wanted for the low price of $15.00. $15.00 is the price for a completed board - all put together!

I have several different colors of vinyl as well as paints. So, most likely I can do whatever your vision is.

Email me at SIOdesigns@gmail.com or call me if you have my number.


The board in the picture is aprox. 23"x6".

Check out the Spell It Out blog for more vinyl projects and specials I will be posting in the future.
