happy hearts.

I love Valentine's Day. Whether I have a relationship to snuggle or am flyin solo. The crafts and inspiration that come from this day of love-honoring are truly fun! This design is inspired by two pairs of antique scissors I recently acquired. The real things are old and rusty, but have so much charm. There is something to be said about tools made out of metal. None of this plastic disposable business... Antiques tell stories that I can't resist. So secretive and mysterious, leaving most to the imagination. My favorite.

yeehaw!

With three jobs it's hard for me to visit my favorite site as much as I'd like: Design Sponge. But yesterday I took time out of my day to peruse through posts from the weeks I've missed. This wee little collage is inspired by what I found.

Nouvelle Annee

Happy New Year! May your daydreams lead you to new adventures.

Happy Holidays

It's difficult to believe another holiday season is approaching! It's finally snowing in Vermont and the unseasonably warm weather has turned to -10 degree wind chill. It's nice to see it looking like winter. Another storm has hit as I type, with predictions of up to a foot of snow. Mmm bring on the winter wonderland. I can handle it.

Here is a holiday card I did for my close friends. They just brought a wee little one into the world -- how cute is she?! I'm pretty proud of how this greeting came out and had to share.

Happy Holidays!!

I'm Sorry...

There is no better way to apologize for a very embarrassing moment than with a homemade card.

Yes PLEEEZ

It's always fun to shop! It's even more fun to shop online... creating wishlists, adding to your cart but never hitting 'checkout'... grabbing inspirational items and holding them as long as you'd like. Mmmm... Some dream-dreamy items I've recently been yearning for:





Collaging with inspirational items is my favorite form of creative thinking. I recommend it :)
