Stella the Bella: A dog cameo

the hopeless romantic in me

Just can't stop:

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.

Winter Blues

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!!
