Here it comes....finally....a NEW RELEASE!

I know it's been waaay too long since my last releases for Market but if I must tell the truth it's because I was working on a whole bunch of designs for magazines with tight deadlines! But as promised here is a hysterical saying that I know everyone will appreciate! I just have to sit down and proof the design then get all of the details together and send it off to Hoffman Distributing to place their order. Sit tight and I'll post when it's ready to order and what I decided to name it - suggestions most welcome too!

I love this saying!

Here's one of those wickedly funny sayings that I notice right away! Plus you just never know where one will pop up as this was sitting on the desk of the secretary where we do our banking - who would have thought?!!!

I am furiously working on some secret projects with fast, upcoming deadlines for a national magazine and as soon as that is finished I will post some photos of my current releases coming out in June - I know you will love them!

I also have a delightful great summer design coming out in early July and I know you will LOVE working on it during the hot days of summer, trust me on that one.

A Tour of North Dakota.....

Our 4th Grader and her entire grade took an all day field trip this week from Fargo all the way to Bismarck, North Dakota (a 3 hour bus ride each direction!) to visit our State Capital, the North Dakota Heritage Museum along with going to Fort Lincoln State Park where we saw General Custer's old homestead along with the On A Slat Indian Village. They had been studying this as part of their civics program and it was great to see all of the kids apply their book knowledge to seeing everything in a real life setting where they could look, touch and better understand the formation of North Dakota. 

While touring inside the Custer homestead the guide asked if anyone played piano and our daughter's hand shot up - she was lucky enough to be able to sit down at a 100+ year old piano to play Yankee Doodle Dandy for the crowd! I also spied a reproduction cross stitch wedding sampler for General and Mrs Custer - how great is that!

I figured that I would share a quick tour with all of you as well - hopefully the sheer scope and size translates through my photos - enjoy!
