I am thankful for...
My family: for their good health and daily happiness,
I am so fortunate to have a family so close and fun to be with!
My husband: for his always present love, support and encouragement,
My customers: for giving me the gift to stay at home with my daughter

I am thankful for...
My daughter's daily reminders
that even the simplest and smallest things in life
can be the super coolest things to discover (or rediscover!),
...and to giggle, smile, and hug each other all the time.
I am thankful she keeps me grounded
and gives me balance in this crazy world...
she reminds me daily of what matters most.

For all of this, I am truly thankful, grateful, and blessed.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

So here I was today, driving to pick up my daughter from preschool when I had an "AH HA!" moment. Related to sewing, of course! I thought why not create a special edition placemat for the holidays. 'Tis the season when we all want (and deserve) to enjoy the company of our family and friends around a dinner table topped with our favorite holiday delicacies! And, how do we enjoy such a meal with little ones at the table, too? Keep their minds and little fingers busy...whether scooping up their next spoonful of peas or doodling to their hearts content, this placemat is your ticket to a warm meal eaten in peace. For parents with young children, it is a sure holiday must-have!

Are you putting out a yummy plate of cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve? Write him a short note OR maybe he'll leave you a thank you note for the delicious treats! Use this placemat for your holiday treats, countdown the days until Christmas -- be creative!

The "O Christmas Tree" special edition Dine.n.Doodle chalk mat is available now in my Etsy shop. Happy Holidays!

So, what does a "Rockin' Robots" chalk mat have to do with our Halloween fun? Lots! It became a great source of inspiration for my family as we meticulously made (...and ate!) our Monster Treats turning rice krispy treats, icing, and candies into creatures from another planet. Lilly went a step beyond by making herself a cell phone complete with Skittles as buttons and a gum drop antenna. Brandon and I cracked plenty 'o laughs with the "voices" we gave our creatures as they came to life.

I am curious about one thing, though. I have a sneakin' suspicion that a bit more candy was eaten during our decorating fun than the candy that actually landed on our monster treats. But seriously, isn't that what it is really all about?

Just in time for this year's holiday season, I'm rolling out new Roll.n.Go Crayons designs. Here are the first three, with many more fun and colorful designs to come. I'm finally getting to my special stash of new ribbons! Stay tuned to see what's coming off of the sewing machine next...

New designs are now available for purchase in my Etsy store.

Where The Dinosaurs Roll

I have such wonderful vivid childhood memories of our holidays -- "patiently" waiting for dad to put on our favorite Statler Brother's Christmas tape (yes, this is before the invention of the CD!) and get the coffee brewing for mom; getting a baseball-sized navel orange at the toe of my knitted stocking (which was promptly returned to the fruit bowl later that morning!); and looking forward to another lifesaver candy storybook, ready to marathon chomp through all 8 packs one after another. Lifesaver books are certainly harder and harder to come by these days, but I can remember them so clearly. It wasn't Christmas without one!

So here's a sweet twist to an old favorite --- use a roll.n.go crayons to wrap up 8 fun packs of lifesavers. With eight wide pockets, it's the perfect re purposed twist to a favorite holiday tradition. The hard part is choosing which kinds of lifesaver flavors to include!
