Stumbled Upon a Small Blog Mention!

I was researching and stumbled upon Jessica Cauthon’s blog The Chickadee Tree blog that mentioned my Art Fire Shop as one of her weekly Top Ten

September 21st – Tuesday’s Top Ten

Thank you Jessica for the mention!

“Inspire Me” by Hugh MacLeod

 

Another great cartoon from business cartoonist Hugh MacLeod.

 

We all need inspiration.  Only time I work on my crafts, draw or even write my entries is through inspiration.  I would do any of them if I didn’t enjoy them and was inspired by something I read or see.  Last week I made specially stamped clothes pins and discreet papers because my friend mentioned her husband liked her love notes in various parts of his luggage and pockets during business trips.  I doubt I’d thought of that if she didn’t mention anything. 

 

Anything has inspired you to do create something today?

It’s All About Origami Love!

I was folding origami hearts with my daughter and saw my “LOVE” stamp.  I got inspired!   They are pretty simple but they conveys a huge message to the love of your life. 

I have been procrastinating on both my online store fronts lately, but they’ll be up and ready soon!

Toy Story: Feature Shops

 

Finally took the time to watch Toy Story 3 this past weekend!  My favourite characters has always been the three aliens.  I remember the first movie when it first ran in 1995 and how it spurred the comeback of Mr. Potato Head.  I thought I’ll try to find Toy Story themed products that were not based on paper goods.  These two items were so cute!
