I am a crafty X-ray tech, who took my creative mindset to create X-ray markers for myself and my fellow co-workers.

09/16/2026

It's September!

I literally burnt myself out over the summer. I always seem to think I can use unlimited hours in a day but its not possible.

Soooo your girl has now not worked over 40 hours a week at the hospital day job in the last two weeks.

Thank goodness. I have a hard time saying no to OT at work and It came when I needed the extra money. Etsy orders can sometimes not be the most predictable for income, so I was juggling a lot this summer.

I was beating myself up all summer on not having the time/motivation to get up new listings, new designs, and do our weekly giveaway! Which I really started to love doing.

But at times when you are trying to do so much, things get pushed back!!

I have pulled back from picking up OT in hopes that I can really put my heart and soul back into my business :)

I literally love getting to give away cute x-ray markers to you all especially the students.

Students will always have a soft spot to my heart.
I wish I documented my struggle.

I worked full time, was a wife, and a mother to a 2 year old toddler. Socially awkward ADHD 25 year old finally getting into a radiology program after not getting accepted the 1st time and having to wait a whole another year to apply again.

It was a struggle every bit of the way but I did.
I had to work 72 hour weeks between my full time job & clinicals.

Remember your why...your goal...your vibes...you got this :)

BUTTT anyways.... I'd love to tell you everything but I gotta work on orders.

I still pushed back to giveaways as I have been trying to give myself time to regulate my nervous system again before I push myself too hard.

So we may or may not have a giveaway this weekend.
I have picked out some new halloween designs that I want to show you guys.

I might do a poll to get an idea. :)

Stay tuned.

As always,
Stay rad :)
your favorite marker bestie

I have a confession…..

I am sooooooooo sorry!!!!!!
I have been the busiest gal lately!

I want to say Thank you to everyone who has purchased anything from my small business. I truly appreciate your support and love.

Please forgive me that I haven’t had any extra time for new designs and giveaways!!!

I got sooooo far behind and I have been working as hard as I can but also trying to prevent myself from burning out.

So thank you for understanding if your message hasn’t been answered. I’m sorry answering messages drains my adhd brain which is why I barely text my own friends back 🤣 but I will get back to them!

The last winners have not gotten their markers yet and I’m sorry!!!!! I’ve been trying to push out orders and get caught up before I did them! I am hoping to get them shipped by this weekend also!

I am almost there!!! We are almost caught up to be on time on orders again.

Thank you for understanding that I work full time & literally give all my business as much time as I possibly can!

Ok but anyways since I am not ready to do a giveaway yet…. I do have a little sneak peek of what the next one will be?

I’m hoping to do the giveaway post by this weekend! So look for it on Saturday!

Want to see???
I had a request that I fulfilled and I really like the color combo!

Let me know what you think!!

Yay!!

We have two winners for this weeks strawberry gingham x-ray markers!!

I did listen to some of the color options for them!
See the image posted below! We have made an etsy listing with all four colors. Green, Peach, Pink & Blue :)

I did also make a purple & yellow. The yellow I need to see with resin but it looks like it wont stick out well with the yellowish tint to the gingham. But maybe we will still add more colors!!

Thank you for your supporting, your orders, your love. It always means the world to me!!

Crafting is my therapy. Sometimes I hate it because i'm always busy but if I wasn't doing this id probably just spend most of my nights scrolling social media....freaking out about this crazy world we will in.

BUTTTT anyways.... Should I do another poll for the upcoming giveaway? OR drop any ideas in the comments!! I did create another design but Im not sold on it.

I do have a question though.... when it comes to xray markers is there a certain color combo you guys normally like?

I try to stick with blue and pink since it still goes close with the blue and red. But do you guys have different color combo you like?

do you use the same color for each? I get orders with this and I am also like how??? how do you not mismark your films all the time?

anyways....here's the two winners!

Love all you rad baddies.

Week 10 free x-ray markers 🍓

OK!! Soooo I wanted something cute, strawberries, add a little frame type of vibe…. Add some gingham. And this is what I came up with. I love the subtle strawberries that don’t take away from the gingham!

I went with sage green (literally obsessed with sage green if you didn’t know) and peach 🍑 even though it was suppose to be more of a dusty pink color but I added a butterish yellow background.

It’s giving vintage picnic vibes and I’m actually really digging it.

You guys love my checkered, my polka dots, soooo I really wanted to add gingham to the bunch.

Do we like?
Do we want different colors?
Do we like the frame type idea?
Do we like more simple type patterns?

Drop if in the comments!
All comments get their name added to the wheel for the giveaway. If you don’t want to answer the questions just drop a 🍓.

And if I don’t give you guys an exact date…. I will keep pushing it off to pick a name soo let me be an adult and schedule a date! (I hate deadlines but I also need them).

It’s Wednesday, let’s pick the winner on Sunday. I won’t give a time because I know I won’t stick to that (thanks ADHD).

Happy Hump day!!
Love y’all 🫶🏼💀🍓

Ok UPDATE!!

So! All of the giveaway x-ray markers have been made and shipped.

As most of you know I work full time as an X-ray tech and work my Etsy business most nights after work & on the weekends.

With all the new orders coming in, I wanted to get caught up and ship out the giveaway sets before I did another giveaway.

In a way this helps my anxiety from thinking I’m too far behind and causes me to feel like I’m slipping into burnout. Soooooo with that being said. Minus a couple orders I have to do tonight, we are back on track.

So I am going to drop a new set or two this weekend.
I have compiled all the ideas you guys have me and I will drop a poll if I can figure out how to do that 😆

If not I am just gonna pick the top requested from the list which were really cute ideas 🫶🏼

As always drop any X-ray markers ideas you have in the comments!

I also do take personal requests if you send me a message we can work out custom x-ray markers you want.

It’s a beautiful day to radiate lives💀💚

Did you know that we have giving back $500 worth of X-ray markers to the radiology community over the past three months 😍 That truly makes my heart happy being able to give out something cute to hopefully make your work day more adorable.

Thank you for all your support. You commenting, purchasing, giving me new ideas, giving me compliments makes me love being able to do this.

Even though I may be busy trying to get orders done, I will continue to do the giveaways weekly but since it’s summer bear with me! I have kids who want to do things so every second I’m not working at the hospital or working on orders, I’m hanging out with them or the hubby.

I have listed all of the new markers up on Etsy if you want to check them out 🙂 I’ll drop them the links in the comments for you!

Make sure to follow us for the next giveaway and new design.

💚
Drop in the comments what design have you always wanted but no one has made yet? I’d love to know!

Are we ready?

Here is the winners for week six, seven & eight! Due to me focusing on getting order done before I went up north for a couple days, I decided to just pick two more winners for the last three sets we posted.

All of the comments were AMAZING! I LOVED getting all your ideas for new designs. I will be making a poll for the new design set. Please keep an eye out for it so you can vote!

So we ended up picking 8 winners total!

Here’s how it’s going to go this week due to so many winners. Please send me a message with which set of x-ray markers you want from the three choices that were listed. Tell me what initials you want on them and tell me your address :)

Due to me still trying to keep up with all the orders while I also work my full time job, All giveaway x-ray marker sets are going out in about two weeks unless I get time sooner!

I appreciate the radiology community and all the support! Y’all are amazing!

I am also dropping all the links for each set of x-ray markers that are apart of the giveaway :)

A little update:
TGIF

Whoa! I wasn’t expecting so much love on this weeks giveaway 🫠. Thank you guys for all support and helping me come up with new design ideas. I am having so much fun reading all the ideas!!! A lot of them I have already got saved designs for. 😍

Would you all like to do a poll when I gather together all the of ideas? This would help me so much on trying to figure out what new design I should post each week. I spend too much time trying to figure out the best one for the week, thanks adhd.

Another thing I wanted to add is Etsy orders are taking a little extra time due to all of you supporting my new designs but I am working as fast as I can to get them shipped out. But don’t forget you get free pre fitted Xray marker tape and a credit card size marker holder. It’s like a little starter kit. I’ve gotten amazing reviews about how much everyone loves our marker tape 💚🫶🏻 if you have used it, let me know in the comments.

I’m trying to figure out when to draw the names for this giveaway. So stayed tuned & don’t forget to follow us for our giveaway each week. I’d like to draw names on Sunday 🤞🏼

But that’s all I got for now. I just wanted everyone to know how much I appreciate everything. I truly love being able to create X-ray markers that can brighten your day at work 🫶🏻

So summary,
Follow us if you don’t already.
Should I do a poll for next weeks design ideas?
Have you tried our X-ray marker tape?
Thank you for all your love and I’m glad that I get to spread it back by giving you some cute X-ray markers 💀
