🎄 🎅 Christmas in July! 🎅🎄
I missed July 1st... so we're starting on July 2nd! 😄
Today's ornament is this beautiful "Family" ornament. While it's perfect for Christmas, I think it also makes a great gift for a housewarming, wedding, anniversary, or just because. ❤️
💲 Only $5.00 each (I have quite a few of these and would love to see them find new homes!)
To order: ❤️ Comment MINE on this post. ❤️ I'll reply and message you for payment.
Payment Options: • Square Invoice (credit/debit card) • Venmo • PayPal • Cash (pickup)
Pickup: 📍 Brownsdale (front stairway pickup)
Shipping: 📦 Happy to mail! Buyer pays shipping. A Square invoice will be sent for the ornament + shipping.
🚗 If I'm heading to Austin, I may be able to bring it along. Just ask, and if our schedules line up, we'll make it work.
Thanks for supporting my little business! ❤️ Every purchase helps me make room for new creations while giving these ornaments a new home.

🚨 BIG BOX. BIG DREAMS. BIG POSSIBILITIES. 🚨
Well...

I did a thing. 😳

After months of debating, planning, second-guessing myself, running numbers, stressing, and talking myself in and out of it at least 100 times...

My new OMTech 150W laser arrived this morning!
📦➡️🚛➡️🏠

Now comes the fun part.

This machine is going to help me: ✨ Keep up with custom orders ✨ Build inventory for fall and Christmas shows ✨ Cut maps while another machine runs ornaments ✨ Create more layered projects ✨ Spend less time waiting on one machine to finish before starting the next project
If you've followed Liberty's This & That for a while, you've probably heard me complain that my laser is always tied up with one project while another waits in line. 😆

This is my attempt to fix that problem.
Now I just need to: ✔ Get it uncrated ✔ Get it set up ✔ Get exhaust figured out ✔ Learn the new machine ✔ Make enough products to justify the giant wooden box currently living in my garage 🤣
For now, I'm just over here...

✨ BEAMING WITH POSSIBILITIES! ✨
(And yes, I absolutely had a photoshoot with the crate before opening it.)

🐾✨ What a weekend at **Woofstock**! ✨🐾

Today is the last day here at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, and I’ve loved seeing so many people “adopt” a dog ornament. 💕 Each breed is laser-cut from wood, finished by hand, and can even be personalized with your pup’s name.

This booth setup has been a fun adventure — but I’m already dreaming of future events with a **simpler display design** to make shopping even easier (and less packing for me 😉).

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, chatted, and supported handmade. 🐶💛 Your love for dogs keeps me inspired to keep creating!
