Meet 'Dream Version' and Evangelia from Greece

Hi, friends!  I am so anxious about telling you a little about a new Etsy friend and a super person and her wonderful shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/dreamversion .  The shop, Dream Version,  belongs to a lovely lady named Evangelia.  She and her shop are located in Greece.  I want to first give you the breakdown that Evangelia gave me on her name.   As you know, Greece is a very ancient and historical area.  Also, you probably know that some areas, in a certain era, paid alot of attention to the name given to a new baby.  The name 'Evangelia', in Greek, loosely means 'good + news'.  Angelica, as well as other similar names means 'Angel'.  It also refers to the action of annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary, by the angel Gabriel, that she would become the mother of Jesus.  A good news angel...what a sweet name to give a baby girl. (Of course, there is a male version to the same name.)  What a great name!
Along with such a great name, Evangelia has a great talent and shop.  She is an illustrator and graphic designer.  Her shop is partly made up of digital downloads of circles and 1" squares for everything from stickers, jewelry, magnets, bottle caps, scrapbooking, etc.  These are created from prints of her original watercolor artwork.  Evangelia also has created some beautiful digi's for printable ornaments and cards decorated with a mobile and/or pop-up illustration, again made from her original watercolors.  If purchased, you will usually receive within 24 hours and they are re-printable a billion times. 
In this shop, you will also find Zodiac signs that are unique, 3D, originally handmade watercolor and mixed media collage artwork for canvas, wall or desk.    Each Zodiac card shows a conceptual painting, a calligraphic rendition of its sign, the latin number in the sequence of the zodiac and the name, date and element represented. 


So, as you can see, I think you should take a few minutes and give this shop a look .  It is one of my favorites and I think that Evangelia is quite the aritist.  I love her work and it could be something special to you, too.

And here we go again...

Hello, my old friends and new ones alike.  I had forgotten how much work it was trying to get a shop, a blog, a website, facebook, twitter, etc.   all together, up and running, making it look easy.  I know that you know what I am talking about 'cause we've all been there.   Remember those early days, creating and reading like it was going out of style?   I must be a glutton for punishment, as they say, because I am right back in the middle of it - all over again.  lol.  I am loving every minute of it, I guess the excitement of it all makes you love it.  But I will be so glad when I get it all situated, and hopefully looking the way I hope it will look. 
I do hope that you will give us a peek.  I think we (my daughter and I) have some pretty cool stuff.    Yes, my daughter is in on this madness with me this time.   I have to admit, I think that we both are enjoying working together.  We can also work alone, and that's alright too.   Back to the cool stuff...we are making all sorts of cards, gift tags, party sets, scrapbook pages, etc.   We have the most awesome collection of the best quality cardstocks and papers around.  We also are going to continue with our wonderful tu-tu's.  Every little girl loves a tu-tu and should have one.  lol.   I love to watch a little girl putting on her tu-tu and seeing how it transforms her into a spinning, giggly, little fairy princess.  I haven't seen a little girl yet that doesn't like a tu-tu.  We are also making baby necessities like blankets, burp cloths, crib sets, etc.  They make wonderful shower gifts.   I am also enjoying making a ton of purses, totes, and zipper pouches.   More great gift ideas, or get yourself something nice.  Last but not least, we also will have lovely pillows and other little tidbits like bow hangers and  pierced earring holders.
So, please, come give us a look.   It will probably take another week before I have everything listed, but you must come see.   Thank you and look for me at your shop, too.
