Coffee Buzz!

I can't believe its August already! Where did the time go?  I hope this finds you well and your summer is being enjoyed.  I would love to hear about what you have been doing this summer.  Me?  Well, I've been busy keeping up with my orders, the needs of my family, and finally (YES!!) putting my hands to work... in painting and drawing. I have been enjoying that!  Maybe some day, I'll post some of my work.  Let's see if I can build up enough confidence to share. :-)

Although, I have made a few covers with zipper closures upon request,  I just haven't listed any in my shop.  I finally got around to creating one yesterday, and I am quite pleased with it.   I absolutely love this retro 'Coffee Buzz' fabric!  It's so cool!

I started today off by listing this 15 inch MacBook Pro cover in my etsy shop.  Coffee buzz anyone?  I don't know about you, but I LOVE coffee!  What's the other news buzz?  Well, you can get 15% off of anything in my shop for the month of August! Just enter coupon code 'August15' at checkout.  :) It's a great time to take advantage of the discount as kids are getting ready to return to school. 

Anyways, please stay tuned,  as I will be adding more covers with zippered closures to my shop.  And some other designs as well.... YAY!
