Trip to NYC Stationary and Surtex Show

I went to the Stationary and Surtex show in New York City a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. I haven’t been to the show in a quite a few years, so it was nice to go again. I really enjoyed looking at the booths, trends, and it was great to see some familiar faces too! I was happy to see my book, Tooth Fairy Tales – My record of each lost tooth at the Potter Style Booth, and it was also very cool to see my snail notecards at the Papyrus store on 5th Avenue!

My Book is in the middle of the second shelf up from the bottom.

It was so fun to see my notecards there!

I went to a friends baby shower this weekend, which was really fun. It’s always exciting to welcome a new little life into the world! Here’s a card I illustrated a little while ago that is fitting for the occasion. I can’t wait to meet their little boy, who’ll be arriving at the end of May or early June.

Here’s a bird that enjoyed painting for a greeting card I recently illustrated. I’ve noticed lately that I just love painting birds!

My 5 year old daughter got invited to a friends birthday party this weekend. Lots of of crafts, dressing up as princesses and strawberry cupcakes. Nothing can put a smile on my face as fast as little kids giggling. It was fun!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Here’s a snippit of some butterflies I illustrated for a greeting card. It makes me feel like Spring is in the air, even when we had 10 inches of snow last night. A girl can dream!

It’s that time of year again. Holiday music, Christmas trees, snowman and hot chocolate. No snow here yet, but I’m sure it won’t be long!
