Etsy Packaging

One of my favorite parts about selling on Etsy is getting to wrap each of my sold items with care and making it look beautiful for my customers. I also made a quick video on my process, you can watch it here; since i have a full time job in the day, I work on my Etsy shop at night.

Happy Autumn

 

Happy Autumn! I made a video on how to decorate fall decor pumpkins! 

You can click here, for the DIY video, but I've also added it below.

 I also made a cute Fall bunting banner for my window. There's no video for that because painting words on fabric is pretty self explanatory. Below is a photo I took of some pumpkins at Trader Joe's. They were beautiful. I may buy a green one next year, that color is fantastic.

Starting a YouTube Channel

Exciting things are coming up, including my vacation. I'm starting a YouTube Channel! This is a photo from one of my film-shoots. It'll be making videos on vintage, DIY, cooking, travel and everyday living in California. My URL is: http://www.youtube.com/c/ClaudiaSandoval83
But I won't post until later this month.

Amgen Tour of California

I have attended the Amgen Tour as a fan before and as a fan of cycling I really wanted to help out since it came over my town of Pasadena this year (the locations change every year). I took some photos and this great video of the race!

American Indian Arts Marketplace

I recently went to the American Indian Arts Marketplace! It was lovely to see all of the American Indian crafts and artwork. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so welcoming. 

Cause for Creativity

The Santa Monica Museum of Art has an annual event called, "Cause for Creativity: Tour da Arts", being underemployed last year I was able to donate my time as a Volunteer. I meet some great people, friends and helped many Cyclists and Museum Patrons register for the event! This year I will be a rider and I am so excited to see what I missed out on because I was working last year. Please watch this video (I am in the video at 00:25) and if you are going, I'll see you there!
