rifle 2012 botanical calendar

i realize i'm a little behind in noticing this, but i couldn't resist posting. i'm not usually a fan of many calendars without big blocks for each day to write everyone's birthdays on (it's okay - i already realize i am an old woman.), but i'm thinking i might have to get over that and go ahead and buy rifle's 2012 botanical calendar. it's just too beautiful.

a little creature stirring...

just saw this on paper source, i think this little mouse is so cute

more b'day cupcakes!

while i was down at the beach with the fam last week, i brought my crafting supplies with me to make some cards for a few july birthdays... the intent was to make more cupcake cards, but sadly i forgot to bring my scissors... so cutting out fabric wasn't exactly an option. i did, however, have my needle and thread so i made do with what i had... and i kinda like how they turned out!

so happy birthday melissa, meghan, and margaret!!

it's that time again

holly, can you believe it was a year ago that you were in town for the stationery show? well it's already here again... time sure has flown by quickly, but i am glad to see some roundups today here, here, and here... with plenty more to come, i'm sure... i seriously wish i could take off work and go to the show.... sigh.....

more nice things...

b'day card cupcake bonanza

so several (5 to be exact) of my favorite friends/sister have birthdays at the end of february and beginning of march. and instead of buying expensive letterpressed cards from my favorite store paper presentation like i usually do, i had this idea for a card i could make them... i bought a little bundle of quilting fabric scraps from purl patchwork, and got to stitchin'. 

now that all of the birthdays are over and the cards are no longer a surprise, i can post them here! - so... a(nother) happy birthday to meagan, carrie, megan, nicole, and daniela!!

(i apologize again for the horrible photography.... it's really hard to find a decent place to shoot anything in this tiny sardine-sized apartment...)
