New Stationery and Mother's Day - May 10th

In case you forgot, Mother's Day is Sunday, May 10, 2009! Being a crafty mom, I usually like the kids to make something for me instead of buying me underware or socks! My son likes to draw and my daughter like glue and glitter so we usually have a pretty good time (until the glitter starts flying all over the room!). I enjoy being a mom, from wrestling and playing video games with the kids to cooking and gardening with them, I love every minute of it!

For those moms out there who are weathering the ups and downs of being a mom, for those who are struggling to make it and those who are making it with little struggle, we have to remember that it takes more than a village to successfully raise our kids. We can not do it alone! We need one another for support and conversation, not to mention a drop off house when it gets so bad we just need to take a drive for a couple of hours to get right! Just love every minute of being a mom and don't expect a thank you to come until they have kids of their own (but embrace it if it comes sooner!) HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!




A couple of months ago, I mentioned working on new stationery sets. Well here is the second set (the first one is getting packed for our Mother's Day winner). I haven't thought of a name for the stationery sets just yet (so I'm open to suggestions), but I wanted to show you one of the first sets completed. I will be listing it for sale in my Etsy shop, but wanted to give you first glance. The sets will include:

4 - 3 1/2 x 6 1/2" lined cards with white envelopes
4 - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" flat cards with coordinating envelopes
3 - tags, bookmarks, or stickers of varying sizes
1 - coordinating notepad (recycled paper, handcut and assembled, some lined some blank)

Each set will include a Mocha Child ink pen that you may see in some of the pictures in my shop.
