Today is the first chilly day I’ve felt in awhile, so it feels right that October is rolling around tomorrow. September was a bit of a roller coaster ride for me health-wise, but it seems to have leveled out now. Don’t feel too bad for me though. Even if I had some very bad days,…… Continue Reading

Guest Blogger, That’s Me!
My first guest blogging experience appears today over at PJ’s blog, The Social Life of Paper. I met PJ through my friend, Bridgett, at last year’s National Stationery Show. She currently lives in Omaha, which is close to my heart, as I used to live just outside the city for awhile as a girl. But…… Continue Reading
I’m a Winner!
I am the lucky recipient of a homemade jar of Fig and Thyme Jam from the fabulous Ashley over at Small Measure. She has a giveaway each month of one of her homemade creations that will be included in her book, Homemade Living: Canning & Preserving with Ashley English. When they had the photo shoot…… Continue Reading
Welcome to Fall and the RiverDog Prints Giveaway at I ? Faces
Hi All! I had a fabulous weekend and feel pretty refreshed. I did come home to piles of laundry (doesn’t any else know how those machines work?) and the dirtiest kitchen floor I’ve ever seen (didn’t ask questions). Now I’m furiously working on holiday designs and finishing up the addition of envelope seals to the…… Continue Reading
Mountain Weekend with My Best Girls
I’m so excited to be going away this weekend with my two best friends. The plans fell together quickly and almost effortlessly. We’re traveling to the mountains of Maine for hiking and eating and a whole lot of laughing. It’s rare that the three of us have a getaway to just hang out and breathe.…… Continue Reading

No Manilla Envelopes Here
I have been designing and uploading envelope seals to the RDP Store all day. My eyes are kind of crossed by now, but I’m excited to add these seals to compliment my other products. I hand-line almost all my envelopes with my own custom designed paper and I despise licking the envelopes to seal them…… Continue Reading
A Friday Quickie
As in Blog Post. On the business-side of things: I have not designed anything for Halloween. Just not feeling it, so I’m letting myself “let it go.” I’m concentrating on the big holiday season from now through the end of the year. I may be out of this full-time business in 2010 and back to…… Continue Reading
Not Well
Yup, that represents me up there. I have a chronic illness and it’s getting the better of me. I’m working on a lengthy post about it, but I’m too tired to finish. Too tired to finish many things on my list. Rest is key. Being a mom, I will grab what I can, when I…… Continue Reading
My Failure as a Girlie-Girl
**I’m always honest about my age (43, thank you very much!) I think I got that from my mom, who would boast about her age with a follow-up of “Don’t I look young?” I think looking good was never far from her mind, evident from the older photos I’ve seen of her in her 20s.…… Continue Reading
