Props and Paying It Forward!

I started a new job this week! I am a custom framer at Michaels. Still in the training stages, but will be jumping in with both feet soon.

Came home from work today and was tooling around Etsy when I discovered that one of my mirrors had been featured on another blog! You can check it out here http://www.littledaisychains.blogspot.com/ So I thought I would pay it forward . . . The woman has a store on Etsy (http://www.daisychains.etsy.com/) where she makes charming jewelry and hair accessories for kids. Here are some of my favourites:

Aqua Girl Flower Ring
















Pink On Pink Bobbies















Type It Back, Childrens Initial Bobbies (you can use your child's first and last initial!)

Beware - Lawn Thieves!

So Kevin and I are lying in bed this glorious Sunday morning and Hannah comes in to join us. I ask her to open the blind to let in the sunshine when suddenly she exclaims in the most serious voice:

"Someone robbed our grass!"

Well, I just about died laughing. You see Kevin dug up some dry patches in our front lawn yesterday and filled in spots with some lovely topsoil. As a result our lawn is very patchy and looks like someone "robbed" our grass.

Everyday I am reminded in some small way of the wonder of children . . .

Here is the man outstanding in his "field".

3, 2, 1 . . . Blast Off!

I am pleased to officially anounce the launching of my blog!

Here you will find the latest examples of my work, happenings in my life, things I like and don't and little of this and that . . .

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Cat my logo designer for my awesome new logo! You can see her work here http://www.babyjewels.etsy.com/ or click on the link in the sidebar.

Two new projects to share with you!

The first is a baby book I did for my brother as a gift for a friend of his. It was fun to work with this paper. The cover had a bit of a shimmer to it!




I just finished the second project today. It is a birthday book for a client to give to a friend of hers who is turning 60!




Hope everyone has a great weekend and check back often to see what's happening!
