Cool Stuff Me & Some Of My Friends Are Up To!

My very good friend Pam @ Screaming Mimi has some of the most beautiful photography note cards at her etsy shop, Mimi and Friends.

(Yes, you know I like this one!)

Well, one lucky someone is going to win a set of 8 of her note cards - you get to choose!

Just head over to Fantabulously Frugal, read a terrific interview all about how Pam got started in photography and her future plans for her etsy shop, then enter to win!

You may recall a little while back me showing off .the.coolest.ever. birthday gift from my friend Dracenea @ Rabid Reflections. Well, since it is a Frankie, it seemed only natural that she submit him to the A Patchwork of Flesh gallery!

(I'm so proud to be the owner of the original!!
His eyes glow in the dark, you know!!!)

Head over to her submission and congratulate her on her fantastic work!

My friend Joy @ joy to the blog recently sold this gorgeous piece that she had listed at her etsy shop, Endearing Ephemera.


I know, I know! It's beautiful!!

But you can't have it! You snooze you lose!

But check this out!


And this!

If you love her creations half as much as I do, you should head over there before it's too late!

As for myself, well, I stayed up a little late last night putting together something to submit to my own very first Art Challenge over at Good Mourning, Glory! Studios. The theme for July is "Summer Days", so this is what I came up with.


Then this afternoon I got Trinity working on her submission (Kid Art is welcome and encouraged for my challenges!!) and here's what she did! I love it!


Since this is my first ever Art Challenge, I wanted to make it special, so I'll be doing a giveaway for my "Lazy Summer Days" journal to one brilliant artist who submits a piece to the July "Summer Days" gallery!

So I hope you (and/or your kiddos!) might decide to get to work on something you'd like to share! Click here for details on the Challenge!

So now you see why I keep myself so busy making things - I have to somehow keep up with all my talented and creative friends!
