The dragonflies and other insects are amazing....and tons of butterflies.....
We went out birding last weekend and within a few minutes I had two ticks on me. Argh....It is going to be a bad year for ticks......mild winters will do that!

A great stamping sample!

Helene in St. Louis, MO made this great card that I feel in love with at first sight! She made it for her sister. She used two of our stamps...The two girls (Rachelle & Meghan, MO 25 E) and the overrated (QP 04 E) stamp work so perfectly together. It is such a sweet card that we all fell in love with instantly. Thank you Helene for letting us share this card!

Stampaway 2012

Okie dokie,
     Here are the cards I will be teaching at Stampaway this year! It seems so far away but yet it is soooooo soon. We are working on new stamps and a new catalog. These 30 hour days are a killer. :)
     We have new banners this year for the booth...they look great! I think the theme of our booth will be kind of an English garden meets rubber stamps. We have been working on some new samples that I think will pretty much blow your minds...well...okay....but they are cool! More about Stampaway soon!

So the class I submitted to Stampaway 2012 has been accepted...Yippy! I will be posting pictures of the sample cards soon! We are working on even more new images that will be released at Stampaway this year. We have had a busy year so far..... and it is only February! I have a feeling that Stampaway will be amazing! More soon......!

Art and other things

Now that it is February we are starting to get busy on new images and samples. January flew by so quickly...or so it seems. I have been busy birding on the weekends, working, organizing and upcycling, working on orders, and enjoying the little free time I have. Here in Oklahoma we have not really had our winter yet, though it is cold tonight. We had rain on Friday and some folks had hail and thunderstorms. We still need more rain and moisture. This past spring and summer was really bad...we are still in a drought. I am, however, getting excited about garden season. I bought some seeds and onion starters. Yum!

                                    I see the moon and the moon sees me.
Happy New Year! Yes, it is a new year....and goals..oh yes...goals. uck! This should be an amazing year. In a few months we will be heading to Artfest in Washington. I can hardly wait! And then there is Stampaway in August. Just a quick note...You will be hearing a bunch about both of these events.

So...We submitted class proposals for Stampaway 2012. I am so excited to hear if the classes have been accepted. I am not really sure when this will happen...but we will update you when we hear! The theme this year is steampunk. We will have a booth...and the booth number is...We're #1...Oh yeah! With new images in the works, and many finished, new samples are on the way!
Another area that we are working on is our booth decor...it is going to be off the hook! Our booth will be amazing this year. We have started making new samples and even new altered books. If you would like to contribute new samples for our booth...we always welcome them!
