Crafting of a different sort this week. For those of you who do not know, my first book is up on Amazon. Somewhere Down the Line was released on June 12th. I was so NOT prepared with promo materials or anything. I've spent the last week playing catch-up on promotion while doing the day job of music promos.
In the pic you'll see the bookmarks I designed. I've modified this since printing this sheet. The QR code is smaller. The other thing is I'm making notebook/ pen sets. Our Ozarks Romance Authors conference is Sept. 20th. I need approx. 250 of the sets to put in the goody bags.
I still have some thank you cards to make but I see lots of paper trimming/ scoring, gluing in my immediate future. But I am thankful for the task.
Have no clue what I'm talking about? Every week we gather at Stamping Ground to link the world to our creative blog where Miss Julia Dunnit gives us the opportunity to let everyone see what we're up to. This is not a secret club. Anyone can play. Just check out the details HERE. We love making new friends!
Creative Blessings!
Kelly, thank you so much for the beautiful AYCs that landed on my doorstep yesterday! I have passed one onto Julia as I went to see her this morning. That was such a lovely thing to do! I loved the amount of stamps that were on the envelope though, that made me laugh! I shall save those for someone who collects stamps :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you are well and happily crafting!
Hugs, LLJ 16 xx
glad they arrived safely, Jan. Thank you so much for your assistance.
DeleteSounds like your being super productive. I like the look of those bookmarks on your desk and impressed that you can talk about QR codes and know what you mean :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week

It has been a learning process. But with everyone using smartphones now, they can scan the code and it will take them right to my amazon author page. Great since this is only an ebook. Thanks for stopping in Gillian. I'll get to you this week, I promise
DeleteCongratulations on your book publishing, love those bookmarks, maybe next years anniversary ATC you can make bookmark ATCs. I love reading

Interesting idea, Bridget. I'm just glad I'm crafty. Those things are expensive to order LOL
DeleteFun fun fun!!! I dashed over to your book link too. Looks like a fun read!
ReplyDeleteHI Angie. Thanks for checking out the book link. Some of the gals had been following the process. Creative Blessings!
DeleteCute bookmarks! Congrats again on your book!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy! Creative Blessings!
DeleteYou have the greatest ideas, Kelly! 250????? I would never be able to keep up with you, and don't know how you do it all! So happy for your book being published and all your other endeavors!
ReplyDeleteThis from the woman who makes all those cards! LOL We really need to meet 1/2 way somewhere. :-)
DeleteCongrats on the ebook! Nice looking bookmarks in the works. I see a goodly pile of clear stamps...maybe a fish peeking out. I just happen to have a couple extra ATCs and would love to swap with you, Kelly. My email is froggydesigns3 at yahoo dot com. As soon as I have your address I'll pop it in the mail. Thanks for the earlier visit! Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #77
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nan. Great on the swap. I'll check that email tomorrow. Creative Blessings!
DeleteHi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published! Yay. The bookmarks look great. I think Bridget has a good idea!
Hmm, I looked up snakes in New Mexico and maybe I shouldn't have.... there are so many varieties. There's a lot of king snakes but none that specifically said Black King Snake. I heard that when rattlesnakes shed they also shed the rattle so I'm glad I didn't find that!
Thank you for visiting me already!
Happy WOYWW
Hugs, Kay (17)
Hi Kay. Thanks. Romance Authors do make the 'Trading Cards' May have to think on that.
DeleteBlack and King are the same thing and non-venomous. Me too on the rattler. Ewww. Creative Blessings!
Congratulations on your new book! That must be so exciting, so I'm sure all the promotional work should be fun even though exhausting at times. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteHi Arnoldo. Only exhausting when I add my promo stuff in with all the promo I do for musicians. LOL Makes for long days but I am doing what I am passionate about. Creative Blessings!
DeleteCongrats on your book being published, thanks for the visit already

Congrats again on the book. It's next on my list to read.
ReplyDeleteYour bookmarks are fabulous and wow! 250 sets. That's sure going to keep you busy for some time to come.
Wow, you published a book, that is really something, congratulations. Love the bookmarks but can never understand those QR things, I don't have a smart phone.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and enjoy the process.
