Bunny Love

I'm pretty sure rabbits are without question the cutest animals ever. And not pretend cute like some animals where you see a cartoon and the animal is adorable but in real life it's dripping with snot (yeah, I'm looking at you cow lovers) , but actual adorability.

They're so ultra snuggly and their little noses really do sniff constantly and their eyes are so huge and sweet! I'll take a bunny-rabbit over a dog or cat any day of the week.

When I was little my parents had friends who trained their rabbit to go in a litter box so their bunny could just hop freely around their home! I assume they also rabbit-proofed their wires and what-not, but maybe people smart enough to house train their rabbit are smart enough to teach the same rabbit to only chew on food?

I don't know. All I do know is that when I one day have my own home, I absolutely want to do that.

We're going to the chapel and...

Curly Cutie OOAK Card
I haven't had much to post lately, because I've been working on top secret projects like wedding invitations and business cards, rather than my personal art or etsy shop art.

I'll post both projects when I'm done, but I think most brides like to keep their invites special for the invitees, so those'll probably have to wait till the wedding is over.

I just got done with all kinds of crazy wedding stuff in September, when a close friend of mine got married and now I'm jumping into more as my sister's very short engagement rapidly approaches the wedding date. I shared the funky bronzer story from my friend's rehearsal dinner, but what I didn't share was the torture of trying on bridesmaid dresses.

If you've ever been in a wedding you know that the dress shops do not carry every size for you to see what actually looks good on you. They carry each dress in maybe two or three sizes, so like... an 8 and a 22. Maybe. Maybe just the 8. So if you're a 14 like me, you just have to cram yourself in the 8 and guess if it might look nice on you if it were to be the correct size. No one at the dress shop ever understands why this is problematic. Why would you care if you look good in a dress you're shelling out $150 bucks for? You're only wearing it once, right?
 I looked halfway decent in my dress last time, but I gained a bit of weight in the couple weeks before the wedding, which wasn't enough to have an effect on my everyday clothes, but did mean the top of my dress wasn't as um...secure...as it had been originally. Good times. This time I get to pick my dress and it will have straps, blast it.

What's your favorite/funniest bridesmaid (or groomsmen) fiasco?

Sugar and Hearts


I mentioned before that I love Valentine's Day, so here's another Sweetheart Valentine. It isn't romantic, but if you know someone who's a sweetheart, whether it's a sister or friend, it is the perfect card to send them at Valentine's Day or any time of the year.

I know I'll be sending out valentine's to some charming friends of mine, just because they're special :)

And since there's a group of us that are single for v-day this year, maybe we'll get together and do something special.
Along the V-Day theme, I also have a coloring page for the kiddies. Click on it for a larger more printable image, but please don't use it for anything other than a coloring sheet. It isn't for selling or altering other than with crayons.
I feel like our divergent thoughts on Valentine's Day start early...
