Educational and Cute!

How can you resist? This alphabet poster from print, pattern, paper comes in two sizes and is both educational for your itty-bitty and cute as a button for your walls. Reasonably priced (11 x 14" is $32.00 and 18 x 24" is $42.00), I may just have to order one for my daughter. The world map poster would be great on the wall of a playroom...again, educational and cute! Do we see a pattern here?

Rebecca has some really ADORABLE kids' art as well as stationery on her site. Be sure to check out her shop and blog as well!

I AM A PAPER ADDICT...I AM A PAPER ADDICT...I AM A PAPER ADDICT...

I admit it...I.am.a.paper.addict. I wonder if there is a 12-step program out there for me. Here are some pics of some fabulous papers I scored this weekend from American Crafts, Autumn Leaves, Basic Grey, Crate Paper, and Luxe Designs (these were in addition to the awesome DCWV Green Stack I picked up). Oh paper heaven! Be sure to peruse their site links for sooo many inspirations and fun ideas.

I have my hands full with enough paper for a million projects...now to work on those two extras days per week! I used the first three papers for my daughter's second birthday party decorations - folded paper cranes out of the two-sided papers and made other decos with them as well...it was a bird/owl theme - WHO's TWO? It turned out better than expected. The two Basic Grey papers I used were from Urban Prairie. Enjoy the eye candy!

Destash Site in Progress...

Haven't posted in a while - been buried deep in scrafting supplies. Actually the weather has changed and the rainforest effect has subsided. My hair no longer needs it's own zip code - thank goodness - I was beginning to scare my daughter as she would look at my hair as if it was going to attack her. Speaking of hair...I feel a haircut - not a trim - coming up soon. We'll see how brave I am.

I digress - the reason for the post is to introduce my second etsy shop - it's functioning AND has items in it! As a designer for 15 years, you can imagine how many supplies have reproduced in the drawers and cubbies - stamps are having baby stamps, envelopes and paper have multiplied - it's out of control! So I have started Supply & Demand - one designer's destash...

Slowly but surely I will weed through the mass amount of goods up in the studio and keep only what I *know* I will use. Did I mention I do professional organizing on the side? (blush) - if you could only see how much excess stuff there is! Baby steps - I'm almost over the hump and boy, does it feel good.

Be sure to swing by my shop when you're online some night (or early morning, like me) - you can find me here:

Off to finally cash in on some zzzz's (and those are free)-
