Happy Friday! I've been on a mini-wrapping-paper-making bender, my friends. Just in case you are a champion procrastinator like I am, I wanted to offer up these designs for any last minute packaging needs. You can print them up on regular 8.5 x 11" paper on your home printer, and voila! Instant wrapping paper for those tiny stocking stuffers. Feel free to download them below (click on image, and right-click to "save as" to your desktop before printing for best ... Read more
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Hello! I'm wrapping up the week with this quick little post. I have much to be thankful for and as 2016 is coming to a close, I also have much to reflect upon. This has been what M and I are calling a "life-changing" year and I've had to relearn a lot of lessons...we're dealing with unexpected health issues in our family that I won't go into and it's been topsy turvy all around. Right now, at this very moment, however, we are all well. Thank YOU for continuing to visit my little space, as ... Read more

I recently saw this book and this book in a store, and deliberated long and hard about purchasing them, but in the end, I left ... Read more
Procrastinating
I'm one of those super productive procrastinators. At the moment, I have a load of laundry going, dinner is prepped, I've cleaned off my desk, unpacked the luggage meant for the canceled teepee camping, paid bills, and have polished off a satisfying meal consisting of an avocado-tomato-egg sandwich. I even almost started to bake bread from scratch. In short, I've done everything except what I'm supposed to be doing: working on the illustrations for book #3. But look! I've taken a small ...
