Pusheen Party

My daughter is currently obsessed with Pusheen and has been for a while so I wasn't exactly surprised when she requested a Pusheen party for her birthday. I was, however, surprised at how little there was out there with respect to Pusheen decorations. So, I decided to combine it with a donut theme since Pusheen seems to be a fan of donuts. Luckily, there is tons of donut themed stuff on Amazon. I also found a free printable Pusheen invitation online that I just opened up in Adobe and typed right into.     I then took a Pusheen image and added it to the donut banner I bought. ...

Monday Journal – Tea

Isn't tea just everything? What is about the hot liquid that just soothes the soul? Don't get me wrong, I am a huge and daily coffee drinker, it literally gets me out of bed some days. But, when I or someone I love is upset, sick, cold, or in need of some comfort, tea always saves the day. I think part of it is also the ritual. Takes you away from the chaos of life as you wait for that kettle to boil, then to steep and cool before you can drink it. No wonder the Tea ceremony is one of Japan’s most important cultural institutions.

Christmas Workshops

It is that time of year again and it is time to get you prepared and excited for the upcoming holiday season.

Monday Journal – Love

My first wedding anniversary is coming up next week (although we were together 8 years prior to getting married) so love is in the air as I try to plan some sort of anniversary celebration. Which is what lead me to creating this art journal page. It started with a page that already had paint on it from cleaning my flower stencil from a previous project. The rest of the materials were recycled as the the large heart was made from a shopping bag that I painted over with watered down acrylic... and the small one was from a very cool textured napkin from Via Rail. This page led me to ...
