more xoxo

How cool is Robin?  She sent this keychain....just because.  XOXO back atcha Robin.

 

Earlier this summer I ordered these new images from Stampotique.  I don't draw people...but if I did I would want to be Daniel Torrente when I grow up.  The XOXO (by artist Amy Wilson Wellenstein) is FAB don't you think?   

 

I don't like this time of year.  Summer is winding down.  The school season is about to begin.  Long days with everyone around will become weekends only.  I've been enjoying Just Being.  Time with friends, time with family.  Trying to wrap up some new designs for fall release but since I'm my own boss I'm not stressing over it, Just Enjoying It.  Pre-production is always the funnest time.  It's when you get all your ideas.  Some become reality, some go in the journal for future use.  It's all good.  You'll be the first to know when I'm done.

Very cool stamps. And anything with an X on it is just perfect in my book!

I LOVE my Stampotique stamps, particularly Glimmering Hope & Prom Queen! I use them all the time in my classes and the girls just love them. Looking forward to some more new rubber M! Nothing quite like new rubber to get the juices flowing....and I mean to stamp.....not to wear! lol

Hello Michelle,

I have the same doubts about this time... tomorrow I start working again for school : homevisits with new kids, meetings, preparations in the class... I love my work, but hate the "stress" it also brings.
Vacation was spent completely at home and I lived not by the clock ...
Daughter starts on the 1 september again and the sons the 21 st of september at the university. Aran going to university is also a huge step .... and stressy for me too ( will he be able to cope in this "new world?"
And Freek is also not coming home in the week, only weekends : your son too ?

I think I better live day by day and try to enjoy each moment, solving problems when they appear..

I like your new stamps : they would fit in my collection, but my daughter draws very special girls and I made three into stamps ! I let you know when I create with them..

Just another question : did you spraypaint on fabric ( clothes for example ?) . Does it stays on after you wash it ? I sewed clothes for my daughter , but would like to jazz them up a bit with stencils...

greetings from Belgium
Inge

Michelle - so glad you liked the keychain - it just called your name when I saw it.
