Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays, everyone!

As a little update, I'm winter break from school right now, holding a 3.8 GPA. I start school again January 12th, with Photography as my major, and I'll be taking Visual Thinking 2, Black and White Photography 2, Performance Art, Sociology, Survey of American Literature, Introduction to Music and Self Defense. I'll be pretty busy, but I expect to enjoy it immensely. I love living at Shepherd University a lot.

I'm featured as an artist in the January/February Issue of Somerset Studio Magazine. That was really exciting for me. I'll have lots of fun showing it off to my classmates. My birthday is in February, so it was very well-timed.

I'm working on my own online store, as opposed to using etsy as a storefront, which I hope to be up and running in Sprint of 2009.

I hope everyone is doing well. :)

Store Credit

Please contact me before purchasing anything, just to avoid duplicates being purchased. I will mark items as purchased, to prevent this from happening, but it's best to contact me first: madelaine.etsy@gmail.com

Here's a list of things I either need or really want for school.

I'll add 40% to the price you pay towards credit in my shop.

Forty percent. That is a lot. Sure, you could always wait for my next sale. Except sales in my shop are extremely rare, and I have never offered more than 20% off. For example, if you spend $50.00 buying items for me from the list below, you'll have $70.00 to spend in my shop.

You'll be able to use the store credit as soon as I receive the items, or the bookstore confirms they've been purchased.

I haven't been able to find most of these books online, except at the Shepherd University Bookstore, which is the bookstore for the college I am attending. You may order as a guest, and site the full name of the person picking up the order as "Madelaine Richards" (c'est moi!)

It's a great opportunity for you to purchase my art. Not only will you know that you directly helped my education and college experience (I'm planning to major in Photography), but you'll have some great new photography and digital art. I can absolutely sign whatever you order as well as have custom sizes printed if needed (so you can purchase larger prints).

Here are the titles and ISBNs of the books I need. I wish to have to most recent editions, but used is totally okay, and even encouraged (I don't need brand new things).

Some other items I want to be more comfortable, but I don't need as much as my books:


FOR COMFORT


Keen Ventura Canvas shoes in Black or Sahara - size 8. Can be ordered and shipped directly to me. Please contact me for my address, to save you from shipping it. You can find them online lots of places, but here's a link to Zappos. $71.00 (Store Credit: $92.30).




OTHER

A French keyboard. Instead of QWERTY, it's AZERTY. I type with French settings, so I can type using accents (é ç à ö etc.). I have for two years, and think it's about time that I have a keyboard the reflects the letters I'm typing.

The Following can all be purchased from See Jane Work.



What a cutie! I am in need of a calculator, so why not an adorable and fashionable one? I adore it!




Since I'm moving away, I need to keep track of all my friends and their phone numbers and addresses. I'm after the brown one (woodgrain) or the modern fern one.









I will be updating this wishlist soon. Check back for more, and some cheaper, products.

New Postcards + Giveaway!

Please check out the latest spot I've been featured, at StopsWithMe. :D

Today UPS dropped off a small, but heavy box. I opened it and was thrilled to see that it was 500 postcards that I had ordered.

They turned out lovely. I am really happy with them. The glossy front feels so smooth and soft. Although I only had one of my images printed, I am already offering little sets of postcards in my etsy shop.


Want your own? Comment with your favourite word to describe my shop (and your etsy username, or your email - just some way for me to contact you), and you'll be entered to win your own small set of postcards, and an ACEO. Winner will be chosen on the 21st of May. You don't have to pick a different word than the ones already posted. Winner will be chosen randomly. :)

This giveaway is being promoted on WinCrafty - the place to find handmade giveaways.
