Can someone seriously pinch me? Go on… do it – because let me just tell you, i still can’t believe that 2009 is coming up on its last few days. I mean.. in just a few short days, we will start a new decade! A new decade means so much. Some things i can share now, some i can’t. So you will just have to check back for some goodies.

It really blows my mind how much has changed this past year not only in my personal life, but my professional life as well. It is so very exciting and because i can barely sleep at night as i put together new designs, i thought i would share!

These little animals were inspired by the board game Forest Friends. I had mentioned it back when i introduced my holiday cards. (yes… that game that i supposedly cheated playing. Hey, cut me some slack, i think i was like 6). I own a vintage copy that my aunt gave me, so when the little ones come to visit i pull it out of the closet. You will notice that Ellie the bird makes an appearance in this suite too, along with some other fluttery friends. These will be letterpressed as well for all the paper phanatics out there!

I look forward to sharing all of my new designs with you as we enter a new decade!
