and here are a few new colors.

A few more flowery color combinations are up on the (so, there.) etsy shop. They are the result of special requests, I hope you like them too!

Look! a set of five for thanking tons of people.

I am not usually a yellow person, but these sunny colors make me want a lemonade and a hammock.

I've added a couple of "thinking of you" cards to the flowery group. The yellow is perfect for wishing someone a quick recovery.

this reminds me of me.

that everything is a cat toy.

I had a lot of "help" as I was getting some new cards ready today. After trying several methods of distraction, I cut a piece of scap cover stock back and forth to create a long springy strip, then taped it to the chair next to me.

Thankfully, I was granted a few moments of relief– till he tore it to pieces.

we followed him all over.

There are some perks to living in the country.

Like, animal neighbors.

so you should get organized, too.

Well, I ran out of calendar sheets a couple of weeks ago, and I thought I'd design a new one. This one has a space for the month, and for the day number (so you can plan ahead.)

This time I used my nifty super stapler to staple all across the top. ($10 clearance find at Office Depot.) After everything was stapled, I cut the edges down with my paper cutter.

There are three color choices, spring green, turquoise and teal, and black and white. Click below to download the .pdf files. I hope you use them as much as I do!

I went to one of the weirdest places...

I am going to go ahead and say that Greenfield Village near Detroit is one of the weirdest places I've ever been. Patrick and I stopped by on our way out of town... and... yeah.

It basically consists of a lot of historical buildings and houses that were purchased and transplanted from their original locations to a perfectly manicured town. There are cottages, plantations, factories, slave quarters, cabins, offices and more. It has everything Edison related, down to a boarding house he used for his workers (all of the lightbulbs in the place are old fashioned.) It had the Wright brothers' house and shop.

Do you see how creepy?

Anyways, they also had a printing shop, and we took a few pictures. (They're lucky that pictures are all I took... some of that equipment was yummy.)

The also has Noah Webster's house, and a bunch of old school texts. I love old books, the typography is so quirky.

Anyways, go if you ever get the chance, because it's actually kind of neat to see so many places all in one location.

Neat, and disturbing.

and guess who else like the couch?

Cooper Does.
Yes, He's Cooper. As in Alice Cooper, Agent Cooper, Anderson Cooper, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, Cooper Street and let's not forget, Cooper the Pooper.
