I am feeling productive so far this year. My New Year’s resolution to design one card each week is coming along swimmingly. My second card is my most popular fabric art design, so I have decided to turn it into a greeting card.

Octopus Love(rs)
For a chance to win this card, please comment below, and I will be choosing the winner next week when I post my next card design and giveaway. Remember to check back each week, because for every card I design in 2010 I will be doing a giveaway.
Congratulations to #6 Jeska for winning this giveaway!
Congratulations to #10 commenter veebhu for winning last week’s giveaway.

I hope you all have a perfect 10…2010 that is!
2009 is coming to an end, and I am looking toward the future. My goal for 2010 is simple: one new card design per week. If all goes as planned by the end of 2010, I will have 52 new Glademade designs. I will be posting each new card design here, and I will be giving away one card for each new design.
Design #1:

It's 2010...just checking in! Available at my etsy shop.
If you would like to win one of these cards, just leave a comment, and I will select one winner at random before the next giveaway.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Update: This giveaway is over, and #10 commenter, veebhu, is the winner. Congratulations!

The Cherrywood Art Fair is this weekend in Austin, TX. Have you been before? I checked it out last year, and was amazed. I ended up going back twice in the same weekend. There will be original work by more than 80 artists, free admission, kids art activities, craft workshops, and a gigantic silent auction. This is my first year to participate, and I’m going to have a lot of great art and greeting cards. I will be sharing a booth outside with Studio 3 (screen-printed tea towels and cloth napkins) and Sacred Soil (organic gardening).
Studio 3:

Hand printed napkins from Studio 3
Sacred Soil:
