We’re on ‘Oh My! Handmade Goodness!’

Jessika asked me to contribute a bit about our wedding to ‘Oh My! Handmade Goodness!‘ to finish up their month of ‘Celebrations’ posts.  You can read a bunch (um, it was hard to stop me once I got going,) about our wedding and decorations, and how we aimed to make the whole day kid-friendly.

Really, most of the tips and ideas could work for any kind of party.  So if you have a shindig coming up, go check it out, as well as all the other posts from July.

It was so much fun to write.  As always, thanks for having me OMHG!

A Little Bonkers + Homemade Chalk!

Agh going a bit bonkers here.  Work is busy (YAY!) and I’m rowing at the Head of The Charles Regatta this Saturday in a “sweeps” (8 person) boat (another YAY!)  Thrilled about both, but its been hectic-making.

No matter– Head over here for the coolest tutorial you’ve ever seen!  Homemade Sidewalk Chalk!!

What a fun craft project, especially on a windy day like today!  And all you need are some brightly-colored, fall leaves.

Thanks for the Etsy Treasury Love!

I’m happy to tell you, a bunch of my prints have been featured in various Etsy Treasuries lately!

For those of you who don’t speak ‘Etsy’:

The Treasury is an ever-changing, member-curated shopping gallery of handpicked items. Members can feature their favorite items, items selected on a theme or just whatever they like. The Treasury is not intended for self-promotion, but instead to acknowledge and share the many cool things for sale on Etsy.

I wanted to list them here, as each one was beautifully curated.  Click on the images to purchase/check out the goodies!
