The next round of new lip balm flavors is rolling out soon. We're still tweaking the label designs as well.

Wood? Leather? Planner? Bullet journal? Notebook? All of the above!

Unplanned ornament sale time!

Our last craft show was not as well attended as we were expecting and as a result it turns out we've made too many ornament kits! Because these are all pre-engraved with "2022" on them they've got to go.

From now until December 21st we are going to be selling these for 25% off, or $7.50 each. If you're in the Reynoldsburg area or we happen to work with you then we can arrange for pick up / drop off.

Additionally for those who aren't local or we can't work out a pick-up / drop-off time we will be offering free shipping if you order 5 or more ornaments.

We're not running this deal through our website or anything so message us with which ornaments you want and how many of each and we can work out the details from there.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Rudolph: 10
Two Bears: 10

Downsized booth ready to go for the Taylor Road Elementary Cookies with Santa event. Stop by 6-8!

Playing around with some paint pens and puffy paints

All setup and ready to go for the Pickerington Arts & Craft Show tomorrow from 9am to 3pm! Come check out or ornament kits, un-paper products, bottle openers, notebooks, and a brand new item.... Indoor Snowball Fight kits! This will likely be our last craft show of the year.

Our Christmas Ornament kits were such a big hit at the Watkins Craft Show two weekends ago that we've spent the last 10 days batching out another 150 ornaments for the Pickerington Arts & Craft Show this Saturday! We also got the ornaments listed on the website along with a page with more detailed information about the ornaments and how to decorate/assemble them.

Each kit comes in a 8.75" x 5.75" Kraft invitation envelope. Included in the envelope is:
- The ornament kit
- A decorative hook and a 11" ribbon for your choice of ornament hanging options
- Sandpaper
- Detailed instructions

The kit can be given as a gift in the envelope or the entire kit can actually be mailed. We're not sure what the postage price would be on mailing a single kit but once we know we'll update this.

We're still trying to figure out how to get the same discount we offer at the craft shows to work on the website but until then if you're interested in ordering any of these please let us know!

We're up and running at the Watkins Memorial Athletic Association Craft Show! Come check us out from 10-3!

Working on Christmas Ornament Craft Kits for the upcoming holiday craft shows. These come as a flat "sheet" where you and/or your kids can punch the ornament out, decorate it, and assemble it. This can be a fun Christmas break activity or teacher/grandparent gifts. The ones we sell at the craft shows will be just the standard "2022" version but these can be personalized as well. There will be 5 designs in total but we're still working on engraving and cutting the other two designs.

Come check us out next Saturday, October 22nd from 10am-3pm at the Watkins Memorial Athletic Association Craft Show!

We've restocked our booth at Mimi's Vintage Pickin's in advance of the grand re-opening this Sunday from 12-4!

Messy bun hats and velvet hair scrunchies are back in stock for the fall/winter season! Fan favorite lip balms and loofah soaps are in stock as well. We've also restocked the laser cut notebooks and added a bunch of new designs including some acrylic cover sketch books.

We've also added some new products including:
- Rustic wooden pumpkin Halloween decorations
- A new wooden christmas tree ornament holder design we're testing out
- Rustic wall hanging bottle openers (the 4 we brought in are sports themed but you can request one in any design.

This was too cool not to share. We got a custom order in our Etsy shop (yes, we have an Etsy shop too!) from a customer in New Jersey who was involved in a reunion of sorts for her High School graduating class from 1980. The school mascot is a tiger and she found our Tiger notebook online and sent me us a message to see if we could engrave her high school initials (HHS) and the class year (1980).

But what makes this so special is that she then also requested an additional customization in that this notebook is going to be a place where the class can write down the names of classmates they graduated with who have passed on and possibly write messages to those classmates. She emailed us a custom message she would like printed on the back side of orange paper backing

Took some work to figure out how to get the printed message on the inside of the patterned paper inside aligned correctly with the cut but in the end it worked out great. This was such a thoughtful and unique use of one of our products that we asked the customer for permission to share this with everyone. All credit goes to the customer who took our pretty standard idea and took it to the next level for this. We're so happy to have played a part in making this happen.

These hand made Ohio sports teams themed wall hanging bottle openers are the perfect item to complete your mancave or she-shed. The body is made out of old growth pine burned with a torch to create a rustic look and feel. The front of the opener features a clear acrylic panel engraved with the the sports team logo (or other logo!) of your choice that can be slid out to remove collected bottle caps quickly and easily.

These items are made to order so if you're interested in purchasing one please give us 24-48 hours to finish your order before you pick it up or we ship it out. The front acrylic panel can be customized with any logo you'd like (sports teams, video games, movies, business logos, monograms, wedding favors, groomsmen gift messages, etc.). We've included an image of some of the sports team logos we have ready to go.

If there's a logo or design you would like engraved but don't see here you can place a Custom Order request here: https://www.erickson-made.com/product/rustic-wall-hanging-bottle-opener-custom-request/63

If you have any questions or would like to discuss a custom order before purchasing please use the contact form on our website or message us on Facebook.

It's been a busy couple weeks making custom order / personalized notebooks and academic planners before school starts. Here's some of our favorites we've made in the last few weeks.

Not sure why it took us so long to think of this but we're in the process of designing and developing a line of 2022-23 academic planners. Here are the first two we've created. We'll be posting more in the coming days but until then let us know if you're interested in ordering one of these or if there's one of our notebook designs you'd like converted into a planner. We can also do custom requests, just let us know what you're interested in!

- Stephan's Quintet photo
- The Deep Field photo
- Reflective Gold cardstock

Who says husbands can't get / make their wives teacher appreciation gifts? We're in the process of developing these wooden notepads as a new item but we still need to find a steady supply of a quality base notebook at a reasonable price before they hit the store. Once they're ready there will be several designs to choose from (or you can suggest new designs) and you will be able to request customizations including text engraving and your choice of background paper. Let us know if this is something you'd be interested in!

Got some fun new spring patterns coming in the un-paper towels!

Speaking of spring...got allergies? Try our un-paper hankies. One of my boys is a mess this time of year so he has his own box of hankies. We just fold them in half and they fit perfectly into an empty tissue box. Throw them in the washing machine on sanitize and they are good to go again. No more going through box after box of tissues!

Here are the new lip balm flavors and the new labels to go with them! This batch is being delivered to Mimi's Vintage Pickin's but we can always make more! Our lip balms are made with natural ingredients like Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Beeswax, plus a little bit of flavoring and come in special paper based tubes that contain zero plastic.

I've just added some new lip balm flavors and soap scents...
Lip Balm: french vanilla, salted caramel (my personal favorite), and tropical fruit
Soap: magnolia blossom and "sand and sea"
Plus my newest product addition...loofah soap. Come check it all out tomorrow at Mimi's Vintage Pickin's.

Philadelphia Phillies mahogany coaster set commission finished and ready for delivery.

We found these small (13" x 10") live edge slabs at Menards the other day and made a sign as an experiment. What do you think? We haven't decided how to best hang it on a wall yet.
