FREE printable graphics

I was looking through some files on my computer looking for ways to "dress up" my blog signature and ran across some graphics I downloaded from Graphic Garden. I actually forgot that I had them, so it was fun going back through them. There are a lot of graphics for free, too, which is where I got these. As my mom says, "Free is a very good price."

In the end, I decided to go with something more personal (at least for now). I found a site with free signatures in all kinds of fonts. I chose one that looks like handwriting. Then I clipped a portion of one of my cards that had some of my own doodling on it and added that, too. So, what do you think? Do you like the new signature? Leave me a comment!

Shimmerz online store

I am so psyched about the new Shimmerz online store! For their grand opening, they are having a HUGE sale - go check it out HERE!

I'm back!...(sort of)

I only have time for a quick post today, but I wanted to share with you Paper Wishes and Project of the Week. I found out about Hot Off The Press when a friend of mine became a contributor to a couple of their books. Once I started exploring a bit, I found these two websites created by the same fabulous ladies.

At Paper Wishes, there are project directions for all kinds of things (and I love their designs). Project of the Week is sort of an outgrowth of that. They have weekly "webisodes" where they give a demo of a product or tool they offer on their website and how to create one of their projects. They have some wonderful designs and the demos might provide some tips or inspire you.

Have fun!

Been a while, sorry!

I've been swamped lately at school, and it doesn't look like it will let up for a week or two, at least. Please accept my apologies. In the meantime, please enjoy a website I've recently discovered (thanks to Mel at Mel Stampz) called Paper Garden.

I think I could blow my entire salary at this website. So you go enjoy while I work away like a busy bee!

Say, "Yeah, Baby!"

I found a super cool website today! If you haven't visited origami.com, you should. They have a diagram database with .pdf instructions for lots and lots of models. I have several origami books I reference, but sometimes I want something new, or I'm looking for directions that I can provide for my students. This site is awesome!
