Valentine's
Day is even better when it falls on the weekend. No
school-night-date-night conflict and there's time to have fun with the
kids as well.
I've been working on some interesting design
projects this week. It drives me crazy that I can't show sneak-peeks.
Some of my contracts actually prohibit me from letting the cat out of
the bag – or the hen out of the haystack, to start a new cliche. While
I'm plugging away on product-design, I'm working on package design as
well — and I love it — I love designing boxes. My inner engineer
gets the baton.
Perhaps next year, I can make some funky, 3-D
valentines for folks to download and get those folds, flaps, tabs and
tucks out of my system. I wish I had thought of it last week, but was
mightily engaged in the storm of drawings and prototypes strewn across
the studio.
I'll make a note. Till then, here's wishing you a
Happy Valentine's Day weekend! Go smooch someone cute, or someone
sweet, or someone cute and sweet. Or eat something cute and sweet if
you have no one to smooch.

Heather, it is driving me crazy too! I can’t wait to see what you are making! But I know it will be worth the wait. Have a wonderful Valentines day.

I just ran into Isaac and Charlotte at F & E (again!). I love all of your boxy, foldy thingies (they exercise my brain). Beautiful lollis! Have a fun Valentine’s time!
I need to go to F & E more so I can run into you too.
hey there sweets,
happy hearts day!!
oxoxo,

Love the tapestry card. Happy Valentines Day

Package design is one of my favorite things to design as well. It doesn’t come up too often but it sure is fun to dream up and then figure out the construction of unusual boxes.
Such sweet lollies. Happy Heart Day! ~Kelly

Wow at those lollipops. Did you make them yourself?
it is so amazing to have big projects! And to have soemthing new to create or to think to!
You are so full of enthusiasm that you are contagious!! 🙂
have a great Valentine’s day
The lollipops look tasty!! Hope you had a great Valentine’s day.
Cute Valentine treats! I hope you are designing more for Autumn Leaves!!
I didn’t make the lollipops. But aren’t they pretty? I picked them up at (Cost Plus)World Market. They have the best holiday candies.
I wish that i can know what you are up to. I’m having a hard time being patient. LOL
Oh, what suspense! Can’t wait to see what you’re cooking up!
Happy Valentine’s to you as well!
Just had to say Thank You for bringing a little beauty to my morning routine. Your website is so pretty and bright. I love logging in and getting a little “sunshine”! Thanks for sharing!!! I don’t have a crafty bone in my body so it’s nice to admire someone who can do what you do.
Love your smoochy pops!
As a long-time reader from Germany I have to comment today for the first time, because you made me laugh so hard! In your ad for your “Sound of Music Germany Tour” ist says: “Germany, Austria & Bavaria” as if Bavaria was a country on its own. That is great! In fact a lot of Bavarians dream of an independent Bavaria. Hope you have a great time in Germany! Sina
