Okay, so this fun font is available here from Stephanie's Homegrown Hospitality blog.  But here is the deal:  it was supposed to be up for only one day.  So get your clicking hand in gear and head over there and download it before it is too late.


In case you were wondering, who has two thumbs and is using this font to make Christmas tags?

This girl!



Spring time brings trouble around here.  I literally have to go straight from the mailbox to the trash can when the Pottery Barn catalogs come.  Fall, not tempted, Winter, no thanks... but stinky Spring brings out the colors and accessories that could very well steer us straight to the poorhouse.  In honor of all things beachy and aiming for all things free... Ms. Martha has cooked up some stunning nautical downloads perfect for cards and photos.  Enjoy!


I found this recipe card download a few weeks ago and fell in love.  I saved it to my computer with hopes that someday I would learn how to put words on pictures.  Along came Picnik and cute fonts ensued!  This literally took two minutes to whip up.  I could print it out at home (even though my printer is evil and wastes ink) or where I get my pics normally printed.  How fun would a set of your family's favorite foods be on these beauties.  Oh, the above dip is from my friend Richelle and it is sure to be the hit of your next gathering.  Look for more of these to come.  As I compile my favorites I will post them.  Enjoy!


I have been eyeing this apron pattern for months and finally broke down and bought it.  What finally helped me click "Buy" was the two yards of fabric that came with it.  See my favorite birdies?  The chocolate version is near impossible to find and I couldn't resist.  It will match my kitchen perfectly.    Hopefully I can pull it off.  It has some tricky trim that I have never tried.
I have been using up my random buttons for these fun and easy cards I found from the eye candy blog How About Orange.  I will be including them as a thank you treat in all of my Etsy orders.  I highly recommend using Zots for the buttons.  I am too impatient for glue and Zots are my go to adhesive for all embellishments.  
This is where I would love to post pics of the girls in something from Whimsy Ranch.  Instead I will show you my lame new hubcap.  I guess in all other states you can find your hubcap waiting for you on the side of the road where it fell off.  In California people find them and then sell them on Ebay.
