Guess the Birth Date!!

Correctly guess the birth date of my soon-to-be-born son and win a free print of your choice from my shop! Just leave your guess in a comment on this post. If more than one person guesses the correct day, I will draw one name. Vote til Feb. 8th! Make sure to include your email address before you publish your guess! ( I will not contact you unless you're the winner so don't worry about a sudden flood of forwards in your mailbox.)

FYI-- The due date is February 13th, this is my second child, and my first was 4 days late. : )

New Prints

Here's the other print I just finished that will only be available through one of the new online stores soon-to-be carrying my work. I'm finishing up all the printing today so they should be online next week : )

And now available in my Etsy store is this "Clothes Line" Print Set--3 5x7 prints you can frame individually and arrange in whatever order you'd like.


Stop by and check it out! Don't forget the Valentine's Day card either. If you'd like one, it's best to order now in case I happen to go into labor a bit early (due on 2/13) : )

A Little DIY Project

My mom got this lamp for me in college when all my decorating was influenced by my summer in Japan and my plans to go back there (which I did, for 2 1/2 years--very cool). But the paper had yellowed, the flowers cracked, and it was just a little too Japanese for our current design scheme. So with a sharpie, some marker paper, and some double stick tape, I did a quick re-design. Let me know what you think : )

Some Melodious Sonnet

This is one of the prints that will soon be exclusively available in one of the online stores that will be carrying my work. Keep checking back to find out what stores and when! : )

Princess Party

Hudson attended his first princess party for this little friend's 2nd birthday this past weekend.


And no princess party would be complete without the dashing young fireman to put out those dragon fires.

-----------------------


Also, just added this card to the shop for Valentine's Day. Say "I love you" with an original card this year : )

hey.

Just added a new set of cards to the shop. I wanted something that was slightly more "guy friend" appropriate since most of my cards and prints tend to lean toward the girly side. I'll be adding the Valentine's card version of this print tomorrow so if you're in the market for a cute card for that special someone, check it out.

New Format, New Format, & A Teaser

Still working on our reorganizing, rearranging, redecorating projects around our little apartment. This time, we remembered to take a before photo so the after photo was a bit more impressive.


---------------BEFORE/AFTER---------------
(amazing how, afterwards, everything seems brighter...happier...)
*Our printing/Etsy supplies station made from four little Ikea drawer units and 2 boards. I'd say it's quite an improvement.*

Also, starting now all my prints are 8"x10" rather than 8.5"x11". I've found it's much easier to find cheap, cool 8x10 frames which hopefully encourages people to buy and hang more art.

ANNND...though I won't totally believe it til I actually see them online, my prints are soon-to-be available through a certain magazine's online store. I'm really excited about the opportunity because I've been reading this magazine, listening to their podcast, and admiring their website for a couple years now. I'll let you know as soon as my work is in their shop so check back here soon.
