Creativity Abounds... as kids head back to school.

This weekend I finally succumbed and bought myself a moleskin journal. Okay, well it's not an official moleskin, as it has a fabric cover, but the pages are of the same quality. To your left is the first doodle/watercolour that has popped from the pages. She is just a little censored so that I may post her on here for you all.

I can't wait to go get it out of my art studio and embellish another page today. I need to create something that marks the big day that my little pumpernickel stepped into his Kindergarten class for the first time and met Miss D.
AHHH, he's growing up too fast!


Violette's first book is now nearing the finalization stages and can be pre-ordered today!

We are so excited for our Glitter Power Sister! She has be working hard and dreaming of this moment for years and it is finally coming to fruition. Way to go Violette!

I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!
Product Description (borrowed from Amazon.com)~ Join The Naughty Secretary Club!

If you prefer your jewelry subtle and serious, you might want to go ahead and set this book back on the shelf. However, if kitschy accessories made with a wink and a smile are your cup of tea, this book will have you on the edge of your chair.

The Naughty Secretary Club is packed with more than 50 kitschy-secretary-themed jewelry projects, plus lots of quirky sidebars covering hot topics such as office romance and the best secretary theme songs to listen to on your lunch break. You’ll learn how to use your office supplies in a whole new way - did you know standard office fare, like binder folders and shredded junk mail, makes craftalicious jewelry? Plus, author Jennifer Perkins will teach you how to turn almost anything into a charm, including plastic gnome cake toppers, doll furniture and cast-off hotel keys.

Whatever your day job, you can be a Naughty Secretary in spirit - and in style. So cancel your afternoon meetings, take a break from watching the clock and send yourself a memo to whip up a new paperclip necklace just in time for happy hour!
