Lost in a sea... of Boxes!



We have neglecting our blog and (sadly) our store in the past week because we've been up to our necks in boxes! Vanessa and I had been waiting for this move for so long and it hit us pretty fast when last Monday arrived. We had two apartment to pack and two cats to move! I am more than relieved to leave a studio apartment for a beautiful and very old 4 1/2. We now have a studio and the cats have so much room to run! It took us three days, but we've finally unpacked all the boxes and secured the apartment for Frank and Chloe (Those two found the most dangerous and surprise hiding spots while the apartment was packed with boxes and furniture). Anyway, we're all good now and I've got a studio place in front of those two bright windows you can see up there. We're back concentrating on our baby business and working hard for it, hoping more sales will come! We were also FINALLY able to ship our orders because Canada Post is back in action!! I ran over there this morning (happier than ever!) to ship those packages and was greeted by grumpy and rude employees.. Which makes me nervous for my orders. They didn't seem to care much about their jobs.. Hopefully my orders survive...

The Morning After

Oh my, be proud of us, we've finally started a blog! After starting our store, Scribbles And Shots, we really wanted to start our blog to get ourselves out there and be able to feature some of our favorite artists both on and off Etsy. This required loads to research. For some reason I, Karen, was left with the task of blogging even though I lack much internet knowledge... Unlike the other half of Scribbles And Shots, Vanessa, who threw the task of blogging in my hands ;) . So, after staring at a blank blog page for hours last night, I finally gathered my courage and started typing this morning! So here we are..

I guess you're wondering who we are. Like mentioned above, we're Vanessa and Karen, two girls from Montreal, Canada. Vanessa is a photographer/psychology student and I'm a costume design student. I convinced Vanessa to start up an Etsy store selling her pictures (because I think they are fantastic!) and Scribbles and Shots was born! Everything picture-related comes from Vanessa and everything business-related is my doing. I'm an avid arts/crafts obsessive lover and hope to overload this blog with people's work.
Something you need to know about us (or maybe should I say me..) is our extreme love for our cats, Frank and Chloe. They are both adorable and, should you continue reading our blog (we hope!), you will often hear about them. Here they are;
Frank

Chloe
They both love to sleep.. Aren't they cute?!
