I have finally finished this years holiday greeting card collection! 4 new Scottie dog cards and one winter image collage card. And for the first time, I’ve also created a calendar. It’s a 5×7 desk calendar with 12 of my photos of Scottish Terriers. It was a lot of fun to make, and I have […]
The Valentines Day Card Collection
The new Valentines Day card collection is finally here! I have been so crazy busy lately that I have not added as many new products to my Etsy store as I would like. Lots of ideas but very little time… But last weekend, I decided to put some of all those ideas I have had […]
Favorite Pinterest Board Of The Week: Holidays
My Pinterest board pick this week is the gorgeous, clean-looking, and thoroughly inspiring “Holidays”, by Ginny Branch Stelling. I love everything about it – from the adorable dogs in antlers to the Christmas light storage tips.

Learn How To Draw People (And Everything Else)
My Dad was, among many other things, a talented artist. He used to paint in oil and draw in charcoal, and growing up, I kept hoping that I had inherited this wonderful talent (my brother did!) and it was just hidden inside me somewhere, and would suddenly magically appear. Well, it didn’t (not yet..). But […]
