For the Reader in your life

So today ended up not as calm as I hoped it would be, but it was a great day. I had lunch with a very dear friend of mine at Chili's. My favorite place to eat. Love their chips and salsa. Although I came out of there feeling like I had eaten a Thanksgiving meal.

So for those of you who might have a mom or soon-to-be-graduate in your life here are some ideas for them:

Anyone who reads regularly knows you can never have enough bookmarks.




I usually try and get most of the books I read at the library. However there are a few books that I dearly love and know I will read again and those I do buy, but often times lend to others to read. These are just a fun way to make sure you get your book back. So easy to do and just adds a nice touch to the front of the book instead of just writing your name.


If you have a mom or graduate you know who would love these, please email me and we will get your order taken care of.

Sneak peek

I have lots of things to share that I've made over the last couple of days, but I am really tired. Tomorrow is a fairly calm day for me this week so I will be back to share all of it. However, I did want to leave you with this....



Getting excited to try some different things for graduation cards.

Lots going on....

I can't believe November was the last time I updated this. Life got busy over the Holidays of course and then I spent some time reflecting and thinking about whether or not I wanted to continue this pursuit. After some time and researching I knew that for me right now this is where my heart is. When I sit at my table and create something I feel very much alive and happy.


Gift tags made for Columbia Independent School Teacher Appreciation Week

I am working to get some products made to start an etsy store, but lately I've been working on stuff for a friend for her daughters school and on cards for my sons school. My hope is that now that I know what direction I am going in I can update this a few times a week. I have a few projects on my table right now; one being a gift for a friend, a stack of envelopes to address for someone because she doesn't like her handwriting, and of course items for my store.



Made this card for my brother for his birthday. He LOVED the middle candle!


I did want to share this though, last week I was contacted by a MU Journalism student about doing an article about Pink Owl Design(which may be how you found me). I was so excited about it. In case you didn't see it, here is the link for it...Pink Owl Design Article

I will be back in the next day or so to share some more stuff. Gotta get working on Mother's Day, Graduation, and Wedding stuff. Hard to believe April is half over. Time really needs to slow down.
