Made these fun totes from a customers own material recently and I think they turned out just great and best of all she loves them! I think I will make some for me too to use when I go grocery shopping. Now if someone can tell me how to remember them when I actually head into the store that would be great! Even sticking them in the car hasn't helped I climb right out of the car and forget all about them until I am in the checkout line. Hmmmmm.

Welcome Surprise

Came home today to find a little package at my door. Couldn't think of what it could be and when I opened it there inside was my prize from Lauren Bird's giveaway on her blog. Aren't they cute? Stickers from Print Runner Inc. for free! Can't wait to use these when I am sending out orders! Don't you love it when you win things!

A Hard Goodbye

Thinking and praying for a friend and her family today as she is taken off life support this afternoon. Marlo has been such an inspiration to everyone she has touched with her voice and her love of life and God. God Bless you Marlo and your son Devin. Your fight through breast cancer has been valiant and long lived. You have inspired all of us to be better children of God and you will never be forgotten. Devin is such an amazing young man and you have raised him well and our church family will continue to lift him up and support him always!

You can tell its the end of the school year because all the fun has begun. Trips to the zoo, camping trip planning for the fourth grade and this, a thank you for magazine sales. A day in the middle school gym with the bounce houses, slides and ofcourse the velcro wall!

Pinterest Fun!

Are any of you on Pinterest? (Click on Pinterest to see my style board!)I couldn't really figure out how Pinterest was anything but a fun time waster when I started using it during Beta testing, but I have totally changed my mind. It is a time suck but I think it really helps you to clarify things you truly like and share your creative style as well as how much can I say an inspiration every time you stop in. So many how to's and the recipes.... its got me even trying new recipes with success. I hope you all are enjopying it to! Stop by and stay for some fun and inspiration!

My Shadow

Love this guy! If you haven't already met him, this is Tucket or Tuck as he is most often called. He is my right hand man, always around for a cuddle and just plain good company. He's there before I fall asleep at night, curled right behind my knees and when I wake up in the morning, right by my side, ready for the day. He waits right outside the Studio when I am working but sometimes inside if I can make room. You see, my Studio is rather small but we manage still to keep each other company. Tuck alerts me to the smallest flea moving near our yard, (sometimes this is gets annoying I have to say, but no stranger will dare to cross him). He comes complete with an arch nemisis that makes him go berserk as she walks daily along the sidewalk in front of our house. Secretly I think he wants to be more than friends but her owner is a sweet little old lady and would be overwhelmed with his love so I think he will have to covet from afar or atleast from this side of the door.

We have discovered he has a few unusual tastes that make it a little difficult to have him nearby when these foods are within his reach. Most crazy is the entire stick of butter, wrapper and all, jars of peanut butter and nutella, gogurt and the wrapper as well, pizza especially if he can devour it right out of your hand and then non food items including and most frustrating, anything stuffed animals, slippers and pillows which all thankfully are just slobbered upon. Oh well we all have our quirks. Excuse me while I go rescue my slipper from his slobbers!

Happy Drooling

Just sent off this sweet collection of bibs for a sweet 4 month old baby drooling up a flood. Now she can drool all she wants and she'll stay dry and looking cute as can be!
