Of course all of the doodling is … [Read more...]
It’s “Mice” to Meet You ~ Teacher Card
I love play on word creations for various occasions; puns that use words in place of common words that have a theme or different meaning.

I think he is adorable and the idea of "mice" to meet you popped in my head. I hope you think so too. During a recent trip … [Read more...]
{for my new Teacher} Apple Treat using a Recycled Container
I love recycle crafts especially when I can create them to be as cute as this little apple.

We didn't … [Read more...]
