Valentine Card Sentiments

New this week at The Digichick are my Arty Pants Valentine Sentiments. They're 30% off through the 5th.

Look at this gorgeous layout by Cathy. She is such a creative person and always does such a beautiful job when she makes something. I'm jealous! :-)

And this is a lovely card by Joana. She's so creative. Look at that fluffy petal heart! CUTE!!!

I hope these have inspired you to create something for someone you love this Valentine's Day.

My Favorite Kind of Valentine!

I absolutely love these little retro Valentines. They bring back so many memories of grade school. Of decorating a "mail box" for other kids to deliver Valentine cards to me. Memories of signing and addressing my own Valentines to give to my classmates. And laboring over which card to give to which child! And then, of course, the class party where we passed out treats and opened our boxes of Valentines.

Now you can create some new memories of your own with these charming Retro Valentines....my third set!

 

Have a WONDERFUL Valentine's Day!

Bunches of New Stuff!!!

I have a variety of things debuting in my shops today. First up is my new collection called Snowman Central. Who doesn't love a snowman? Or two? Or more? I have such great memories of building snowmen in the winter and then coming inside for a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows.

I've Lost My Mind!!!

The stray neighborhood animals have a way of finding me. I think they pass the word along "That lady on the corner feeds us and loves us."  About a week ago, a little kitten showed up on my porch. She's been there every night since then. During the day she goes somewhere, who knows, but in the evening there she is perched on my porch again.  She made friends with my new puppy, Buddy, so I named her Amie (French for friend but I pronounce it like Amy.) Tonight I broke down and brought her into the house. It's misting rain tonight and I figure I can put her back out in the morning. 

My 13 year olds, Winky the cat and Frances the dog. are not too thrilled about this new little interloper.  And Buddy is having a few pangs of jealousy about sharing my attention, so I've been doing my best to make him feel as loved as before.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do....keep her or find her a home.  I know of someone who is interested in getting a cat but I also like the idea of Buddy having a playmate closer to his age. What I don't like is having a four-pet household. Too many animals....too much money on food, treats, vet bills.  It's never ending.

BUT, I sure do like the purring noises I'm hearing right now, coming from this warm little lovey dovey lying on my lap! Ugh! Sometimes I wish I weren't such a sucker for animals.

Getting Ready For Halloween

A couple new things in my two shops this week.  At Quirky Twerp I have a new girly Halloween kit called Trick or Sweet. Not all costumes are scary and ghoulish so a few pretty Halloween papers are a necessity!

And at my Arty Pants shop, a set of Potion Labels. The pack includes six labels that are available as shown, and also a distressed version, and a blank version. What can YOU create for Halloween?
