For All of You Crafty Mamas - Artistic Letters!

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’ve seen the cute new trend of letters made from items in nature used in pictures. I know I have!

Photographer Jodi Gerber of ArtisticLetters has created an entire catalog of black & white letter images throughout the past 3 years – all by taking photos of objects in nature that resembled letters of the alphabet. She recently decided to offer her ENTIRE catalog of 250+ letter images to the public on CD or Download so that anyone could create their own designs! It’s a truly original way to make artwork for your home - or even for scrapbooking, greeting cards, and digital designs consisting of wedding invitations, baby’s birth, etc.). Endless possibilities for whatever the mind can imagine!

I’ve seen stores offering the letters framed, and they are pretty expensive! This offers you an affordable way to do it yourself – think of all of the great gifts you can make with these letters!

Jodi teamed up with me and is offering my readers Exclusive Discounted Pricing of up to $6 Off! Please visit her website and browse the images, testimonials, and ideas. I know “The Classic” is sold elsewhere on the internet for more than the cost of her entire package!


Then check out the Exclusive Pricing and Freebie by clicking on this link:

FREEBIE ALERT: Jodi also offered my readers a Freebie alphabet set (with purchase) as a Bonus! And here’s the great part – you get to choose a Damask set from 6 different galleries! More info is available on the special link above.


The exclusive pricing and freebie offer expires Saturday, June 25 at midnight so be sure you take advantage of this great deal while it lasts.

Happiness Is....

Updating your wardrobe for cheap!  I admit it, when the seasons change, I always want to update my clothes – at least a little bit!  I’m not into keeping up with the latest trends, but it is nice to have something different to add to the mix!

The other day I went to my favorite thrift store and picked up some great updates for my wardrobe.  I got three cute skirts and a pair of capris, all for $7! 

I love the buttons on these capris from Talbots!

Even though I’m saving money, I still try to follow the one item out for every item in rule.  My husband would tell you that it shouldn’t be a problem for me – I have plenty of clothes I don’t wear!  

Ann Taylor - perfect for the beach!

I'm hoping we'll have a clothing swap soon - another great way to get clothes cheap!

Mixbook Review

I was provided the opportunity to review a Mixbook Photo Book recently.  Since we didn’t really have any photos together for a photo book, I decided to put together a recipe book to give to Little Miss one day.  I’ve never pursued doing a cookbook before using a photo site, it was fun!
