New Blog!

Hello blog friends! This post is pretty much cross posted from the Ink Obsession blog but I thought that would be OK.

For a while I've felt a little scattered/overwhelmed with social media. My days have been spent designing, printing, proofing and shipping and I haven't had much time for much else. I love blogging but with both my blogs really being business blogs I sometimes feel like maybe I need to keep them more businesslike. So with that in mind I knew it was time to do something new. I needed to start a blog that was just for me and about me. A blog about the day in the life of a designer where I could write whatever I wanted. So that is what I've done.

This new blog is going to be a little more me, a little more about Erin Bradley Designs, and filled with lots of tips of what has helped me run three successful handmade businesses over the last few years. I'm still going to keep this blog and the Ink Obsession blog going but they are going to be more business oriented, focusing on designs, sales, and all kinds of other little goodies.

I hope you'll follow me over at the new blog too. I'm really excited for this new adventure and for you to learn a little bit more about me!

New blog: erinbradleydesigns.blogspot.com

New twitter: twitter.com/ebradleydesigns

It certainly isn't 100% completed yet, but I'm working on it!

I hope everyone is having a great day and I can't wait to see you on the new blog!

Hello There!

Hello blog friends! It's been too long! We hope everybody has been doing well. Poor ebeepaperie has taken a back seat to our other shops, Ink Obsession Designs & Erin Bradley Designs these last few weeks which has made us a little sad, but we are slowly but surely catching up and will have new designs coming soon (which, don't we say that in like every blog post? Mental note to self: less talking, more doing!).

We can't believe it is August which means it is getting close to the end of summer. It seems like all the things we told ourselves were were going to do this year didn't quite get done yet. Well we still have a little time left, right? Here's to cramming a few months of fun into the next several weeks.

We promise to chat more soon. Thanks for being patient!

XOXO

Repeat and Play

First things first. I was looking for a photo for my other blog and came across this mustache tea cup. How fun is that? I think we may need these in our home. Even B would agree!

This is a semi-cross post from my other blog, Ink Obsession Designs. I have to apologize for the lack of blog posts, comments & tweets this past week. Since I've reopened my etsy graphics shop (Erin Bradley Designs - more on that to come!) it has been a little hectic here (but hectic in a great way!).

We're trying to reorganize this blog and we're almost there. In any event some decent content should be coming to you very soon!

Have a happy Wednesday!

ebeepaperie on Ink Obsession Designs

ebeepaperie is now available on our other site, Ink Obsession Designs! We aren't going to put the full collection on there (we are saving everything for when we launch the actual ebeepaperie site!) but for now you can find a few designs on Ink Obsession that haven't made their way to our Etsy shop yet.

To celebrate getting this new line added, all of the ebeepaperie products on the Ink Obsession site are currently on sale. You can view all the sale items at the following link: ebeepaperie collection.

Happy shopping!

Studio Overhaul

Since ebeepaperie is not our first stationery venture (many of you now know that we also own Ink Obsession Designs) we are lucky to already have a nice little studio space established in our 1923 bungalow and have a ton of inventory all set and ready to go.

But we've had to buy a lot of new stock for ebee. Every day for the last week we have been getting a ton of shipments in. New paper, new envelopes, new packaging, more ink, etc.

and our little studio space is quickly filling up fast! This weekend we spent a little time rearranging things, hanging new shelving, and getting all of our files super organized, but I'm not sure we are going to keep it that way. I feel like the space is just a wee bit cramped so we are trying to think of alternative ways to keep everything organized. We've been talking about adding on or possibly converting our attic into a workspace. Ideally I'd love to have one room that is just for designing & printing and then another room to stock all the supplies and to package everything. If you have your own home business, how do you organize your space? I'd love to hear how others do it!
