Raige Creations

Celebrating the sun all weekend, and the listing of my sunshine inspired Toekini's, here is Coldplay and " Yellow ". Fittingly, the video is on a beach, tho the weather is not ideal.  Coldplay - New Music - More Music Videos This made me think of, well what else, my newest sunkissed yellow Toekini's! These blue glass beads made me think of a drop of water on a ray of sun.  So, they are called 'A Drop of Water on a Ray of Sun' . The Daisy Toekini's just bring the flowers blooming right on your feet. Has the sun been visitng you?

Raige was not the only one who celebrated their business birthday this January. There are many who jumped into this crazy world of selling handmade online, and each has their own story to tell.  Birthday Gift Tags by Suzanne Medrano  Celebrating One Year! is a 3-part article that will be featured on IndieSmiles.com . It is the story of 5 hardworking hanmade sellers and how they made to their first anniversary, how they celebrated, what they learned and what their plans are for the coming year.  It has valuable information for everyone who has tried, is trying, or would like to try, to sell their creations.  Part one has been published, click here to read . Raige will also be featuring each one of the group here on this blog this week. It is part of how we all made it through, helping each other, and they have worked herd to make this far. Their ideas, creativity, and dedication are inspiration to us all.

I love sunshine, and I love this collection! Thanks LetaMarieDesigns . Walking in Sunshine Curated By: letamariedesi... ArtFire.com Handmade Soap Does this mean that Spring is really around the corner? I hope so. What are you making to celebrate that Spring will soon be here?

You have probably noticed that Raige has a new look. After one year, Raige began to feel like she had found her groove, and the old banner just didn't fit anymore. It was dated, dark, and just not right.  Bring in Judy, aka Portable Graffiti Graphics , and my husband, and voila! The fresh new Raige. That makes it sound like it was easy. Well, as Judy found out, it never is that easy with me. Indecisive, picky, and often slow to respond, I changed my mind several times.  My husband, who may be a touch pickier than me, would add his opinion and a bit of his artistic critique, and we would be back to the drawing board. In fact, we are still working out some details on this one. Stickers - round - a lot of information. This is the original. I had her change it, moving words, putting the web addys around the edge, but as I look at this one, I think maybe we will have to start back at the begining - this one isn't bad!. Sorry Judy -...
