Combining Crafts...

I love doing things with paper, including handmade books. I combined it with another craft I love to do - woodburning.

Time Off for Good Behavior!

Yep, I spent this morning in old Ellicott City, enjoying all its charm without all the weekend crowds...

Version #5 finally is the successful one!

Denim...

This basket was made from new denim, but now that it's finished I might repurpose some old jeans for my own use!

My Obsession with Sharpies....

For some odd reason, I have to have every color they make. I don't even use them for any of my crafts - except to show scale in my basket pictures!

It may be 22 degrees outside....

but I've got butterflies and flowers on my craft desk...

It's hard to tell what actually happens in this card. My video skills aren't that good, but when you open the card,the letter slides out from the mailbox and the bunny stands up...

I ♥ U....

Quality And Quantity...

Letter pop-ups, in a smaller version than the ones pictured, are my standard way of saying "thank you" to my customers, both on and off line. I have made them by the hundreds!

Birthday Wishes

Think of ten birthday wishes, make them into paper fortune cookies, put them in a takeout box, and you'll have a very thoughtful birthday greeting!

My New Year's Resolution: Keep My Books Up-to-date!

Happy New Year!

Time to put away the Christmas supplies and think Valentine's Day. Better than thinking about taxes...
