Can December 16th still be considered early December? No. It cannot. I erroneously believed and declared that I would have these holiday printables for you many, many days ago, but here we are. Let's not dwell on excuses or explanations, though. If you need last minute tags and mini gift wrapping paper (ideal for tiny presents -- jewelry, perhaps?), I got you. I've designed some fun ones, which I hope will come in handy. Lately I've been really, really, really loving the Procreate app and ... Read more
2021 Advent Calendar + Free Printables!
Hello, hello my friends! If you're in the US, I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend to kick off the holiday season. Mine was quiet and very low-key, which is exactly how I like my my celebrations, especially celebrations about gratitude.

As I was cutting and assembling, I realized that this will be ... Read more
SUMO COUNTING + SUMO OPPOSITES!
Wow, August just vaporized and I'm reeling from the fact that September will be upon us in a matter of hours. How are you, my friends?

Though I've been pretty overwhelmed especially in the last week, there's a chance that life will calm down very soon. Whew. My favorite autumnal season is just ... Read more
2020 Free Holiday Printables
Hello, hello! I am, as ever, a creature of habit: the annual Advent calendar (this year's is my absolute favorite to date, by the way), the monthly blog posts, and all the other various habits I've cultivated over the years that I uphold with a Pit Bull determination. For the month of December, I created some cute holiday tags and print-at-home goodness for my Patreon members and then remembered that I normally offer up free printables here on the blog during this season. So I started ... Read more
2019 Advent Calendar + Even more holiday tags!
"I wonder when this Advent Calendar tradition will end?" As K grows older, this is the question that pops into my brain every time I embark on yet another design for the holiday season. She'll be starting high school next year and I don't know if she'll enjoy it quite as much. This was a fun one, my friends. The idea first came to me when I was -- as per usual -- shopping at Trader Joe's. I saw the garland with the felted balls ($8.99! What a steal!), and I immediately knew that it would be ... Read more
