Today is Tuesday....& that means, NEW Releases at Two Peas!  I'm excited about this release! I have been doing a lot of 'collage' pieces...using litttle pieces to solder in necklaces, ATCs, mixed media collage, etc.  So, I came up with this kit to print out on matte photo paper & it's been working great!

It has 88 pieces in it & includes tags, ephemera, pixies, numbers, an alphabet, butterflies, birds, flowers...the list goes on! All...in Urban Junque Style! & the great thing is: you can print out as many sheets as you want! It's been so fun...please remember, it's for personal use only...so, I hope I don't see this art on someone's etsy shop or something! Commercial Licenses are available, just email me!

I have been following Design Mom since I found it on someone's blog....can't remember whose!   But, I love whole concept of Kirtsy ; a cool place to share links of cool things you find...kind of a 1 stop cool shop! And...you can comment & discuss! Check it out!

again...busy day...have a rad Tuesday!

Ahh...still soaking in the wonderful weekend I had! Fantastic Mother's Day....cute kids letting me sleep in; making me a deeeelicious green smoothie & whole wheat french toast... didnt'' take any photos...just enjoyed the moment with my sweet kids. I love to be able to sit & enjoy my life; the aspect of being a mother & artistically document the moments.  I love this book about my feelings  of motherhood & have done several albums about it!

Although they are really good at thanking me all the time & really are grateful kids, yesterday they made sure I KNEW it. They did the dishes, fixed the meals, & cute S was darling.  He told me to go & lay out in the sun on our deck while he brought my water & put it on a table next to me telling me to just relax & if I needed anything, that he would get it for me...talk about melting my heart! He's adorable!

And....I got to see some sweet friends from out of town; Em & Tara & Cathy.... & the Utahns got to hang, too! Love ya, Margie & Kelly !  So great to talk, laugh & other things!   I love connecting & staying up late...but, I think I'm getting old, cuz those late nighters caught up with me...luckily I was able to take a long, scrumptious Sunday nap!

So, it's Monday...I love Mondays...a new week...full of adventure & lots to do! the weeks are counting down until school is out, so I have TONS to do!

cheerio!
