How does your garden grow.

Sometimes around here a garden will grow on a window. Remember those flowers I showed you a while back that I made for them to put on our front window at work? Well recently I was up front covering a break for the cashier and I remembered to snap a picture.

You can't see the one with my name on it because they've got it right next to the pole and it doesn't show in the picture. Personally I feel that as the creator of these beautiful flowers, mine should be positioned front and center. However, that might be a bit arrogant on my part so I shall humbly remain next to the pole.

While I was there I also took a picture of some of the buildings across the street.

And last but not least, I found a pair of nifty sunglasses at the register so I took a picture of me so you could see that I am the coolest cashier in town.

Fun with paper and markers

I seem to be doing more and more of this all the time. It's a nice way to keep my mind busy though.

This one is a saying that I have been reminding myself of a lot lately.

Just so you know, the ideas for these drawings rarely come out of my head. I see something somewhere and attempt to do my own version. Sometimes it doesn't go so well and I scrap it. Other times it may not be great but I deem it good enough.

Happy Mothers day

Whether you are the mother of children, fur babies or simply have a mothering nature, I wish you a happy Mother's day. I hope you do something special just for you

This is the happy mail card that I sent out for May

cards

I have a couple recent cards I've made. The first one is a box card that I made for Presley. I used some LOL doll stickers to decorate it. I cut the sticker sheet apart and glued the acetate backing to the card. This way she can take the card apart and use the stickers. This card does fold flat for mailing.

The other is a birthday card. I need two for this month and I'll do this one twice. This one however is off on the measurements. I altered the original size because I like using the 4.25" x 5.5" format. I think this was a free cut file from The Bearded Housewife. Not sure if I'll use a patterned background when I do this again. It makes it a little too busy.
