Peace Monkeys

My daughter and I made these thank you notes for her birthday gifts. I am now officially the mother of a tween! The Peace Male Monkey Stamps set is from My Grafico.

My blog vacation was a bit longer than I planned. I'm trying to adjust to my daughter's school schedule and additional responsibility at work. Things are getting a little better schedule-wise so you'll see me more often.

Celebratory Cupcakes


How many birthday sets have you seen that have a frowning cupcake? The perfect image to use on a card to a frenemy (or an in-law!) This is the Little Birthday Cupcake Doodle set from My Grafico. These images are also perfect for paper piecing.

If you want to see more samples check out the Scrapbooking & Crafting Friends Design Team Blog.

School is back in session this week= early bed time for my daughter = More Craft Time for Me!

Guess what I got today?

I ordered these on a group buy and today I picked them up. I'm so excited! One of the dark browns is backordered but look- now I have reds and dark browns and real purples! I'll get the missing marker next week.

You will see some new art very soon ;) Have to finish some Craft Critique stuff first... I got a new toy to review with another new toy set to arrive this weekend.

It has been a fun week!
