What's going on...Only Everything :)

So, I am trying to juggle a lot right now. I've been ever so busy with CKC's Crafts. And that is great!! I was homeschooling my 3rd grader and my Kindergartner for the first quarter of this school year, but I am in the process of getting them enrolled at a local charter school. (We thought we were moving, but we're not really moving as far as we thought, another story for another day). It was fun to have them home, and seeing my 5 yr old learning to read is an experience that cannot be replaced, but we are heading on to a new chapter of life: The Civilian Chapter.

Hubby's army contract ended on August 3rd, and he decided to enroll in college to get a degree and a new direction. It's hard to get hired when all you have done for 8 years is army infantry, not much of a job market there. So, he is going to medical assisting school, and I'll be going too in another 3 weeks. He also got a part-time over night job at Home Depot, his schedule is crazy and I am so proud of everything he's doing! I am trying to get kids situated prior to my start date.

I am also starting my mark. business back up. As Hubby and I juggle kids, school, work and everyday life I thought that it was a perfect time to breathe new life into this great opportunity. If you don't know mark., it is an Avon company, so you know it's great quality products! It's a fun and fashion forward line of on trend clothing, make-up, skin care, and you name it-everything Fashion and Beauty!! It's a great product, my favorite items are the eye shadows because they always have bright, fun, and classy options for anytime of day or night ;)

This is where you can find my eBoutique! And I also just did a mini revamp of the My mark. by Corinne facebook page. So those are there for you to check out.

Also, don't forget that CKC's Crafts is also on facebook here: www.facebook.com/CKCsCrafts  and we are really close to the 200 fans mark, so look out for the giveaway/contest rules as soon as that happens! I'm also on pinterest now, just search ckc's crafts! And I'll be using the #ckcscrafts hashtag on Instagram to share new photos of projects. Getting the word out ;)

So, I am busy to say the least, but that's the way I like it!! Oh, and I'm trying to learn how to knit ;)

And, that's my little update!! Hope everyone is doing well!!

READY TO SHIP ITEMS Posted

I have added a new section to my Etsy shop CKC's Crafts! It's called READY TO SHIP....Simple enough, right!?

There I will list any and all pre-made items; such as item I make as samples and so forth.

I noticed a have quite a bit of craftiness just hanging out, so why not put them out there...and at a discounted price!!

Now: The reason for the discounted price (because I was asked about the quality of the pieces by a customer, so...) I marked these items down because, they are pre-made/non-custom/no chance you can ask me to change it to a yarn color I have to go out and purchase...Make sense? You get it faster and at lower cost (win-win!).

Also, back to quality. These are very bit as good as anything else I make! Remember, these are the items in the pictures of those custom listings you're buying ;) I have the same work ethic and commitment to quality for everything I make.

You won't find my handmade work in any store, and every purchase helps me grow my business-and in turn helps my family!! So thank you for your support!!

Sock Monkey Hats! Cute and Fun!!

I've been working on a lot of new types of hats, but really, the Sock Monkey is one of my favorites to make! There are any number of ways to customize your monkey!! Different colors and styles make every one unique. I just finished the Girly Monkey this morning! I think she's super sweet :) I love how cute the flower turned out. I can also make roses or a "hair bow", if you prefer. You can pick between the ear-flap style with the tassels, or the more simple skull cap/beanie style! I have tons of colors, and chances are I have what you're looking for. Just ask! These hats come in all sizes (o-3 months to Adult) To order yours visit: www.ckcscrafts.etsy.com
