Faithful Companions

A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, big or small, young or old. He doesn't care if you're not smart, not popular, not a good joke-teller, not the best athlete, nor the best-looking person. To your dog, you are the greatest, the smartest, the nicest human being who was ever born. You are his friend and protector. - Louis Sabin

It's a Birthday Sale!

Ok, I'll admit it... today I am 47 and I do not dread birthdays at all! In fact, I look forward to each and every one and count each one a blessing! I am so grateful for another year! :)

To celebrate --- well, this is one way I'm celebrating today --- I am offering a 25% discount on anything in any of my shops. They are not marked on sale. You will have to email me (lanamanis (at) gmail.com) with your wish list and mailing address and I will send you a PayPal invoice with the discount. This sale is good through midnight tonight.

Here are my 3 Etsy shops:
Simple Joys Paperie
Lana Manis Designs
Honeysuckle Lane

I may not be near the computer as I will be spending time with my sisters, but I will answer messages this evening.
 
Have a wonderful day!

Take care & God bless,
Lana

At Last...

Just imagine the stage is set and as the curtain slowly rises
you hear Etta James singing..... At Last.......

And so, I feel like singing... at last.... the love tokens are ready!
I have 13 framed valentines listed on the Simple Joys Paperie blog page.
Here's the link: http://simplejoyspaperie.blogspot.com/

Thank you for being ever so patient with me. I appreciate all of you so much! :)

Take care and God bless,
Lana

P.S. As time permits, I will gradually move the love tokens over to my Simple Joys Paperie Etsy shop.

Some Day...

 ...some day I will have an update ready on time. I had good intentions of listing a collection of love tokens last night, but good ole Mr. Migraine had other plans.

So... I'm sharing a few sneak peeks of what I have finished and I hope to reveal the entire collection tomorrow night.

Have a blessed weekend ♥

New Year, New Designs

Hi everyone!

The new year had a quiet start here at the Manis household. We are slowly but surely advancing into 2014 with work, ideas, and dreams. I am finding that taking time to relish and appreciate the present is usually better than plowing through every day like there's no tomorrow in the attempt to reach those dreams.

Instead of offering something new... because I am going slow this month and have nothing new yet... I thought I'd offer you something pretty awesome --- a HUGE discount of 40% off all my original art!

Visit my Lana Manis Designs Etsy shop and get 
40% off your purchase with no minimum order!!!
Use code JAN2014 during checkout.
This offer expires February 1, 2014.

I have new designs and new ideas to work on during the next several weeks. I'm excited to get started and will keep you in the loop when I have more news.

For those of you that have waited for new designs for my vintage book page wreaths, I will be listing new ones later this evening. They will feature the ever popular sentiment, "Home Sweet Home". They will be listed in my Simple Joys Paperie Etsy shop.

Thank you for being a part of my life. You are so loved and appreciated!
Take care and God bless,
Lana
