Thanks to everyone who braved the weather and came out to the Craftacular on Saturday! It was a fun show and I even took some fantastic goodies home with me. I took pictures of my favorite favorites. The ship hoodie was made by Jess of Big Pink Heart. It's a gift for my friend's little boy but I would totally buy an adult size for myself. Love it!


















I also picked up this adorable clutch purse by Dainty Daisies. Isn't the ribbon perfect?












There were so many other amazing crafters at the show and several new faces. I even found a perfect valentine for Chad! I won't post that one since he just might read this…but I can tell you it's by PishPoshPaperworks who I am superglad to have discovered this weekend.

Yay for craft awesomeness!

This weekend I was also invited to consign at a new local shop that will be opening soon in Madison. I am very excited about the opportunity! More on this soon…

Winners + CRAFTACULAR!

Winners + CRAFTACULAR!

Around 1:00a.m. this morning I made a list of everyone who entered to win a valentine gift pack. I interrupted Chad while he was drawing robots and had him draw two names. In case you can't read my writing (I can't,) the winners are: Jewel Street and Amateur de Livre. Congrats! And thanks to everyone who left a comment over the past couple of days!

If you're in the Madison area please stop by the Valentine Craftacular tomorrow at the High Noon Saloon. I'll be there along with lots of other awesome vendors from 10am-4pm. Hope to see you there!

pushing cars out of snowbanks is overrated + new cards.

Wednesday=lots of snow in Wisconsin.

Chad got a snowday!! Lucky. I went to work.

Before I left work my brother called and asked if I could pick him up and drive him out to the highway to jump his car, which had been stranded there for hours. He tried to get it towed but the tow trucks were either so backed up or not going out at all because of the weather conditions. Of course by the time I left work the roads were a MESS. I had to get out to help push at least 8 cars just so that I could keep moving. Everyone was getting stuck on the slightest incline or just because there was SO much snow.

So after a 90 minute drive which should have taken 10 minutes, I arrived exhausted at my brother's place. We drove out to his car which was then totally plowed in -- and started shoveling it out. A truck full of 3 fantastic strangers stopped to help us shovel so it went a lot faster. We got the car jumped, finally. YAY!

This is the craziest snow storm I've experienced. There were seriously more than a thousand cars stuck on the highway OVERNIGHT. Sheesh!

Okay seriously. Spring, please???

Here are some cards I finished tonight.

It's been awhile. I snagged a treasury yesterday and chose these pretties.

















You can click here to have a closer look. I feel like it's been ages since I made a treasury. It's so fun! I think I am addicted (again.)

Craftacular!

It's craftacular time! I have been busy making lots of fun valentines and other goodies for this weekend's High Noon Valentine Craftacular. If you're in the Madison area, please stop by, have a drink, maybe even find something special for your sweetie.


















Chad finished up a silly robot design yesterday so we are hoping to have ONE MORE new valentine design ready soon. Hopefully tonight! It's adorable. I can't wait to reveal. If we get them printed in time I will add some to my etsy shop. Otherwise they will be a crafacular surprise!

I printed a few toddler sized robot tees this weekend. I also made some valentines, did a lot of laundry and baked brownies.

I am so tired of the snow.

Spring, please?
