A Thanksgiving Thought

Berry came to me quite seriously and said, "Mommy, I changed my mind. I like turkeys. Just meat-turkeys, not animal-turkeys!"

Cured

I have a headache, so Berry brought me Curious George to hold.

There. All better.

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Yes! It's time for Christmas cards!

The Merry Sheep holiday greeting sets and the Let It Snow greeting sets are on sale now in the Pepperina Press shop at Etsy.

Start making that list and checking it twice...

Pause

My little boy and a big apple, and a happy spot in the afternoon...

On the Dinosaur Train

"He's the craziest pteranodon in the Mesozoic Era," Berry says, and she's FOUR, so I wonder if she has any idea what she's on about?

Getaway

After finally reaching the finish line with my letterpress art prints, I gave the press last weekend off and we went to Pensacola.

You can't see the evidence here but trust me – Man-show tried to eat most of the beach. On purpose. By the handful.

Berry was busy making friends with Natalie...

...and with the Forgione boys... and she absolutely insisted on "swimming", despite the cold front which had just swept in. Hmmm, icy.

Good to have the sand beneath our feet again.

(and in our car, and in our clothes, and in our suitcases.....)

Art prints

How could I forget to post these pictures here? This week has been that crazy.

These, my friends, are the first limited-edition letterpress art prints from Sweet Olive Press, released on Monday.

You can read about them here, or buy your signed and numbered print from the Sweet Olive Press online store.

You can win these!

Taking care of business

Today, Berry helpfully crossed off all the items on my to-do list, before I'd done them.

If only it were that simple...

Pumpkin Patch

Berry's preschool class took an excursion to the pumpkin patch across the road from East Beach, and Man-show came along for the ride.



What happened here?

I have no idea.
