So it's been a while...
2 min read
I so suck at updating here!
Well it is almost Christmas. I actually got an advent Calendar out this year as you may have all seen!
I decided to do something a little different this year and go with youtubers that my husband and I watch. Aside from some shameless self promotion, we do watch all of them and enjoy their content.
Soooo this year was crazy, we did 20 shows and some wholesale and even sold Christmas cookies this year. Next year is shaping up to be insane also. We have 2-3 shows booked for January alone. I'm looking forward to February when I go home to visit my family for my brother's wedding blessing. I find it amusing that our Church had never done a wedding blessing before and now they'll have done 2 for the same family (my brothers and mine).
Things are going great with the business, we are really going to concentrate on food plush, geeky charm bracelets and the button sets. We have over 50 designs of bracelet and 40 button sets and we're not slowing down any. So i'm hoping i'll be able to make time to post some of the stuff i've been doing. I want to do more art, but there just hasn't been time lately. I can at least post the plush though, so i'll be working on that.
Hope everything is well with all of you, and I guess i'll see you in a year ^_~
(jk. hopefully it's sooner! O_O )

2016 Advent Calendar
2 min read
So as most of my followers know, every Christmas I do an annual League of Legends advent Calendar.
This year has really been exciting and busy and crazy, the first year of my husband and I being full time on our business.
So sadly, it breaks my heart to stay that after 3 consecutive years, I've had to put the pause button on the advent calendar for this year. Things have just been so busy with the business and i'm rushing to get things done, so we can be more set up and hopefully have an easier year next year. Instead of the insane working almost literally 24/7 and still not seeming to have time for new art and things i'm passionate about!
So I apologize for this year. I'm planning on starting next years way in advance so this doesn't happen again.
But look forward to some new art, I have a league of Princess's series to release at some point, a ton of art work used for the business, and i'm even working on some league skin ideas.
I'll also have some cool craft photos to put up soon, starting with some of the Christmas crafts i've been working on for this holiday season.
Honestly, I've kinda felt like i've wasted this year as far as using deviant art goes, I've not posted anything at all and I miss all the things I used to do and share with everyone. So i'll be working on that more, try to get some regular weekly uploads going.
Here's a link to my shops facebook page if anyone wants to see some recent stuff i've been doing. www.facebook.com/Encha…
So happy 1st day of advent! and i'll be more on the ball next year!
Love you all.

So Busy!!

So....
Look at these cuties!! I got so excited when the Sun and Moon starters were released yesterday, I just had to make them. They turned out so much cuter then I ever thought!
Oh my goodness you guys! We've been so busy.
It's been a long while since i've written (because i'm simultaneously lazy and exhausted from working too hard!). We took a couple of months break at the end of last year, after a monster summer vending at like 8 conventions. Work started up again at the end of January to prepare for this year that will be even crazier.
We did Anime Matsuri in Houston in Feb, then made the decision to do Lost in Wonderland in San Antonio the weekend after we got back. This last weekend was South Texas Comic Con and it rocked so much!
So I think at last count I had about 112 designs and I've added at least 17+ designs since then, I'm going to have to start posting them up on here.
We have a ton of new products and i'm super excited about all of it.
So as some of you may know, I had quit my job working for Make-A-Wish Foundation March 2015. Well as of January 2016 my Husband quit his job too, to come and work for Enchanted Enigma Crafts full time! It's a dream come true and a lot of hard work, but it's definitely worth it.
Personal life wise, not much goes on besides work. My little sister got married last weekend, sadly it didn't work out for me to make it, but we're hoping to go back to the UK to visit maybe at the end of this year. I got a letter yesterday that officially confirmed me as a US Resident! All restrictions removed. So that was really exciting.
So it's pretty much just work work work. We have a convention every 2 weeks until August and some pretty big ones at that!
Here's the List
Anime Matsuri - Houston - February 26th - 28th 2016
Lost in Wonderland - San Antonio - March 4th - 5th 2016
South Texas Comic Con - McAllen - April 29th - May 1st 2016
Mini Mini Con - San Antonio - May 14th 2016
Space City Comic Con - Houston - May 27th - 29th 2016
Akon - Dallas - June 3rd - 5th 2016
Comicpalooza - Houston - June 17th - 19th 2016
RTX - Austin - July 1st - 3rd
Pokefest - McAllen - July 17th 2016
Classic Game Fest - Austin - July 30th - 31st 2016
San Japan - San Antonio - September 2nd - 4th 2016
Realms Con - Corpus Christi - September 30th - October 2nd 2016
Alamo City Comic Con - October 28th - 30th 2016
It's kinda crazy lol and we probably bit off more then we can chew. What happened was, that we booked some cons as fall backs for the cons we weren't sure we would get....and then we got them all...madness. But we're so happy
So, i'm off to go create more plush cubes and maybe I won't take 6 months to update again
ja ne~!
