Holiday Hours

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to let you know the Holiday schedule so you would be able to get orders in on time, etc.

I will be working on vinyl orders, emails, calls, etc. from 8a,m. to 5p.m. (sometimes I cheat but these are the published hours) Monday through Friday.

I will be closing for Thanksgiving on Friday, November 19, 2010 and will re-open Monday, November 29, 2010 for Cyber Monday.

December is a little sketchy still but I think we're looking at taking orders until Friday, December 17. I won't re-open until the New Year (January 3, 2011).

Also, please be aware that I am expecting my second child on January 15, 2011 so I will probably just do what I can around then.

Thank you so much for your business and support. I absolutely love doing vinyl and helping to beautify your homes. Let me know if you need anything!

Thanks,
Christie

Jar Luminaries

Here is the first of what I hope to be many inexpensive holiday gifts to give neighbors, visting/home teaching families, etc.

These jar luminaries are perfect for a spiritual gift that can be displayed year-round (and don't add inches to the waist! ;)). They feature glass marbles at the bottom to help relfect light and a beautiful flower resting on top to add color. The jar is finished off with a vinyl cut-out of the Salt Lake Temple and the caption "I love to see the Temple." The jar does contain a battery-operated tea light that can be turned on and off.

Project Price: $5.00

For those of you outside of Logan, UT, I can ship these but please be aware that shipping cost will be greater because insurance and careful packaging will need to be employed to ensure your order arrives safely. You may choose to get a kit and put them together if you wish. The kit will include glass marbles, tea light, flower, and vinyl decal. The kit cost is $3.00.

May I also suggest, glass etching the jar. It would yield a beautiful result!

Move over Halloween!

Well, it is officially gift-buying time! According to several articles, Christmas shopping season begins the first business day after Halloween! It's that time folks! Let VinylTalks by Christie help take some of the pressure off of holiday shopping by giving something truly unique to your loved ones. Customized vinyl lettering or adorable gifts will be a welcome gift to you and yours. Gifts from VinylTalks by Christie will last for years as opposed to the traditional gift basket or treat-plate.

So stop by and look around. If you see something you like, email vinyltalksbychristie@gmail.com and we will get started right away! If you don't see something you're looking for, email us anyway! Chances are we will be able to design something to suit your needs!

Check back often in the next few weeks, as we will be posting inexpensive ideas for Home/Visiting Teachers; classroom gifts for teachers; and other gifts for co-workers, postal workers, newspaper delivery, anyone who has done anything to help you out this year!

Happy Holidays from VinylTalks by Christie!

Four Month Stackers!

I absolutely love decorations that I can keep up for months at a time. It saves me worrying about what other decor I can find and it is cheaper to buy one item than multiple items. That is why I decided to make a stacker. This stacker features three long blocks measuring 8", 10", and 12" and has four months highlighted to simplify decorating. It has Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Winter sides. This seasonal projects will be continued throughout the year. Sometimes in January, I'll release the stacker for February, March, April, and May. In May, the stacker for June, July, August, and September will be released. So, if you buy three projects, you're covered for the whole year! Excellent, right?
An optional block features a crow on one side and a snowman on the other side. I think it adds such a fun, cute way to decorate!

I tied a coordinating ribbon around my stacker so you wouldn't see the other month's vinyl, but it really isn't necessary.

The project price includes the completed stacker (wood, paper, vinyl). Please note that the paper may change from what is pictured above.

Project Price: $15.00 (does not include shipping)
Optional Crow/Snowman: $3.00 (includes all accessories pictured-scarf, nose, metal eyes, etc.)

Vinyl is Fun for Everyone!

Hello dear readers!

I just wanted to share a picture with all of you! This picture was sent in by a customer who ordered two chore charts for her beautiful girls. Doesn't it just make you smile? I love the artwork on the frames and it just goes to prove that ANYONE can craft! Way to go, readers!

SO CUTE!

Children's Chore Charts

Have you been to deliacreates.blogspot.com? Well, awhile ago she asked me to cut some chore charts for her two boys. You can check out the post here. I have had a few requests for the same format so I have decided to add it to the blog! The vinyl fits a standard 5x7 frame and is customized with your child's name and color choice.

Project Price: $3.00

BOO Blocks!

My front porch was looking a little bare without anything there so I decided to get my craft on! I made a set of blocks measuring approx. 5" wide x 10" high each and put chocolate brown BOO on them! Then, I embellished with some things I already had around my house! I absolutely love the way they turned out!
Please note that the Boo Blocks price is for blocks ONLY and does not include embellishments. If you are interested in having the embellishments please contact me!

Project Price: $16.00
measurements: approximately 15" wide by 10" high
