Do you laugh everyday? Because you should — it’s good for you and it’s what I do every day. It’s not that hard when I have two furry silly dogs!
I’m very lucky indeed.
Happy Monday everybody!

A roundup of a few of my favorite animals on etsy. ha-cha! If you were an animal which one would you be?
In order of appearance:
DIY Paper Puppet- BEAR by furzechane
Lettuce eaters block print by amandakindregan
Earless tiger and tail-less tiger celebrate by pingshop
Lately I’ve really been drawn to D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) art kits and was so excited to stumble across, like a drunken sailor, these beauties!
I LOVE the Letter Press Paper House Kit- Chandler Lane by 1canoe2 I want to buy a whole series and set up a small village in my bedroom. I’ve also been admiring these D.I.Y. Collage Kits by Anthony Zinonos @Little Paper Planes and am seriously tempted to purchase just to see what’s inside! (Would also be perfect source material for our current Visual Journaling class!)
And I’m imagining embroidering hundreds of alligators on my bedspread using the A Alligator and Albatross PDF File Embroidery Pattern by penguinandfish. Pretty soon my whole room would be filled with D.I.Y. Art kit related works which I would take pictures of my 15 cats in the middle of, or at least try not to trip over on the way to the bathroom at night!
If you were to package and sell a D.I.Y. Art Kit what would it be?
