In case you don't follow me on Facebook or see my news feeds, I updated my shop last night! First, I changed the "prints" category to "paper" which now holds some new stationery and other paper products. "Home/living" became "home decor" and will now contain all of my art prints, photo prints, and other home decor items!  I added a few of my top selling photo prints from my older photo shop, as well as some new camera strap covers, pouches, and cards!  Lots of new things going on over at shop.thewonderforest.com!

There is a lot more, but to spare you a post full of photos, just go check out my shop!!!

Since I'm celebrating my 1 year blog-a-versary this month, you can take 15% off all photo/art prints, pouches, and cards with code 1YEAR at checkout! Learn more »

Recently I added some new things to my shop! These cute little zip pouches that can attach right to your bag! They are perfect for makeup, cash and debit cards, your phone, or other little findings. Personally I keep one inside my purse for easy access to stuff!

I made little cute coin pouches too as shown above! They are all fully lined with matching fabrics and limited edition (usually one of a kind!). Check them out in my shop now! I'll be adding some more shortly! Learn more »

I added a few new things to the shop today too!  I've been working on those cute little turtles and finding ways to make each one unique!  I also added a couple new camera strap covers. I improved them a bit so they stay in place much much better... and as always, they are super comfortable because they are lined with minky fabric and chenille!  I also added in one strap that doesn't have ruffles, and would love to know if you think I should make more without them..?

Lastly, I am the "Crafty Superstar" over at Cut Out and Keep for the next little while, so head on over there to check me out! They'll be releasing a series of my tutorials that I've shared on here previously.

Now in my shop!

I started this "Little Retro" line which I am kind of obsessed with at the moment. They are tiny versions of my deer, with more of a vintage twist.  They measure only 4"x4.5" and are the cutest little display pieces. Check them out here! They are all one of a kind, so what you see is what you'll get... only one in stock of each! Learn more »

Yesterday I updated the shop with my new creations!! Check them all out here!

I am excited about these the most.... Plushrooms™!!

The giant one is made with only the finest materials ;).  Super soft cuddly minky fabric and huge safety eyes. I sort of love him.

I also added some cute new accessories... Brooches!  These reminded me of those little embroidered/appliqued designs on retro cardigans or varsity style tops.

I also added some cute little Wonder Forest birds! I was experimenting with safety eyes :)

Some new Camera Strap covers, a larger Fawn and other goodies have also been added... so be sure to go check it all out now!

If you follow me on Facebook, you get to hear about updates first! So if you're not already a fan, you should probably get on that! Learn more »

Hello friends! I have been crafty today!  I just updated the shop with some new Wonder Forest Living stuff.  Check out that section right here! What's new exactly?  These!!:

I made some new holiday pillow covers! These ones are made to order because I might just be keeping the sample ones for myself. Yep, I said it.

I also added one new camera strap cover. It's so cute and flirty and SOFT!  You've never felt softness until you feel this!

I also threw up a couple of gift certificates. In case you need a last minute gift... they are sent digitally!  $20, $50, and $100 values.

Now back to the workshop I go! GO SHOP NOW!

p.s. Isn't it funny when words start to look funny when you see them repeatedly? The word Circle looks so strange to me today. Learn more »

They're baaaaaack!  I only have a limited number of these little darlings left, and these particular unicorns will not be made again once they're gone!  Check them out in my shop now!

I wanted to mention this as well since some customers may think that I have a bunch of stock of each of my items.  I only usually make one of each plush, unless it's a special occasion (i.e. Christmas ornaments) or a made-to-order item. So what you see in my shop is what I have available! Occasionally I will remake a particular style, but if you see something you like you should grab it because I can't guarantee that there will be more than one!  That goes for pillows and camera strap covers too. These limited edition unicorns were made for a retail shop in a batch quantity and I have only a handful left. Making a batch quantity is a rare occurrence. So I hope that clarifies some things for those that wondered!

Also keeping with the unicorn theme... a second version of my unicorn print is now available. I thought that the original one that read "I like you more than unicorns" only really qualified as a cute gift for someone special... but this one's for everybody!

Have you started Christmas shopping yet? It's only a month away!!! Learn more »

I have been working on a few new items every day to stock up for Christmas, but also wanted to let you know that if you're planning on doing a little xmas shopping at the Wonder Forest online store, it's best to get your orders in nice and early.

Since I am located in Canada, shipping to the US normally takes 10-12 business days, but can take up to a month to get there... especially with the holiday season just around the corner (and I've noticed USPS being kinda slow these lately anyways).  Orders overseas can take a little longer also.  We all know how the mail systems like to clog up during this time of year!

So, this is just a friendly reminder to keep that in mind when ordering from my shop ;)

I also fixed up the Print Shop section of my store and included a couple new digital art prints. I threw a special deal listing in there too which saves you some cash when buying prints in sets of 2!

I'll be adding a few more camera strap covers and some holiday plush soon! Stay tuned!

Guess what else???  I hit 1000 blog followers tonight!!  It only took me 4 months and feels kind of great to reach that milestone. I had set little goals for myself with this blog and am just happy to see them all being reached so far.  I'll share a little more about my goals and what I have done to reach them in a later post though ;)

You still have time to enter the $600 giveaway full of amazing prizes!!! Learn more »

Quick note... There are some new things up in the shop!!! Check them out:

I was trying something new with those two sketched prints. I'm not sure how I feel about them yet, so feel free to lend some input!  Visit my shop here!

You'll want to check out my blog tomorrow! I've been working on a HUGE giveaway and tomorrow holds all of the surprises!

I know that Halloween hasn't even passed yet, but I couldn't wait any longer to unleash some of my Christmas collection!  I wanted to get some stuff up nice and early so that you don't have to worry about shipping times... since I know that the mail starts getting backlogged come late November, and orders to the US seem to be taking a little longer than usual lately.

SOOO are you ready?  Here are the brand new Christmas additions that have been added to my NEW shop so check them out here! By the way, I set up a new URL for the shop so it's easier to remember... http://shop.thewonderforest.com :)

I'll be adding more shortly!!!

What do you think so far???  P.s. if you haven't checked out my Facebook page lately, I added a new "shop" link to the left hand tab links! There, you can see what's up with my new shop and view the items without even leaving Facebook!
