Mexico

How embarrassing that I didn't finish this post before it published! To be honest, I was falling asleep when I saved it and promptly forgot all about it.  

These are the 2 Mexico books. I used 2 different paper lines, thus their very different feels. Most pages are pretty close to the same in layout

Sock Monkey Themed Advice Book

It must be shower season! The requests for baby and bridal shower advice books have been coming in this spring. This one was a fun change for me. I haven't seen a sock monkey in years!

Avoiding the Taxes!!

See the date? Seems that I will go to almost any length to avoid that pesky April deadline. Why do I do it to myself? Every year I tell myself that I will get them done early and every year it gets later and later. *sigh*. I. Hate. Them.

So this is what I did instead :)

They're bookmarks!!

They're a little speckly because I couldn't resist hitting them with a little shimmer spray, I just love the stuff.

So it is now with great dragging of my feet and lots of the humph-ing that I detest from my kids that I stop procrastinating and do the devil's work: taxes *shiver*

For a Bridal Shower

A few times, I am asked to make something to be passed around at a bridal (or baby) shower for guests to write pearls of wisdom and well wishes into. I always include quotes and poems in the books to fill some empty spaces, too. This time, we added some party favor embellishments to the order, with the xoxo flags and flowers to go under cake pops. That was fun!

Here's my latest take on the idea:

You have to imagine that the stick is white and instead of a cotton
ball there's a beautiful culinary cake pop delectable.

Also, the title is hard to see because I added a pearl shimmer to the ink.
Gorgeous, but didn't photograph well because it reflects the light.
It says, "Happily Ever After tips"

Just wanted to do a closeup shot of the
"ghost" stamping I did here. 

See the pearl shimmer?
