lovely tuesday
Oh, how happy I am you’re not Monday! With the Monday blahs effectively shaken off, I am ready to go work on a new project I am so excited about. Hopefully more to come soon! I also finished the class project for my daughter’s class. Each child phototransferred a portion of a large image of one of the Portland bridges. They are now all pieced together and framed. It turned out so nicely and it feels so good to have it checked off the to do list. Here are some pictures of the finished pieces.
stamp of approval
I am a sucker for a good stamp set. These look about as good as it gets.
Have a wonderful weekend, I am hoping to step outside and soak up some vitamin D this afternoon! And a shout out to my niece who is turning the big 2! Happy B-day K!
fort or art?
As I start craving spring, I start dreading getting the yard back in shape. I’ve been trying to avoid looking to closely back there. The kids have already started their fort/tree house campaigning again this year (despite the fact we have not a tree to build one in). I just feel like, if we build it, they will inevitably grow out of it by the next season. But I have to admit, when I saw this in the new issue of small, it made me want one, too.

a valentine’s tea
I wanted to share a few pictures from my girl’s birthday tea. We had some oh so good cookies from here (totally going to go back and get more to enjoy myself), and delicous cupcakes from here, and then went to see Alice in Wonderland!

party prep
I need to start getting ready for my daughter’s party this weekend. We are keeping it pretty simple this year, a couple friends, a valentines tea, and a performance of Alice In Wonderland at a local theater. I’m thinking a lot of pink, red and sweet. Lots of good ideas and eye candy are to be had over at party perfect. She recently posted about an amazing 1st bday party, with a little portrait I had done of the birthday boy in the mix.
Thinking these little sweet treats will do the trick….

where did the weekend go?
Saturday was another beautiful, felt like spring, day here. Today I am running down to the school to work on a project with the kids. I can’t wait to see how it turns out and to share it with you!
all is quiet
When I get back each morning from dropping the kids at school, I am always struck by how quiet the house is when I walk in. Maybe we should take inspiration from the Obamas and make the kids make their beds every morning, but it’s kinda sweet to see them in their just slept in glory, buddies still tucked in.
I am hoping we make it to see this movie over the weekend. visually, it looks amazing and it was made right here in Portland. Support the local economy, right?
such a tease
We’ve had a couple gorgeous blue sky days here that have me dreaming of spring…
be proud
I am loving these badges over at Arthur’s Circus. What a great little token for when your wee one does something especially big.
the perfect gift
for my kids, anyhow, is a fresh pack of tape and some old cardboard. So when I saw this yummy tape (did you know tape could be yummy?) I knew it would be a perfect little gift for my daughter’s upcoming b-day.
thank you to simplesong for the amazing tip (image via simplesong) It is availabe at DWR.
shiny new toy
Did you know they make Polaroid attachments for holgas? They do! I just got mine and after nearly 2 packs of film and several expletives I finally figured the darn thing out (ummm…i needed more light) It’s so funny to see the kids reaction to polaroid. To them it’s like magic, ‘it makes the picture right away!’ We are really, really bad about getting all of our digital pictures printed (I mean, really, really bad) So for them to get a ‘real’ picture on paper, and right away, stand back. To bad the film is so darn expensive.
cozy day
We got a bit of snow today (more than expected), but luckily the kids were already off to school by the time it really hit. Snow is enough of a novelty here, that school is cancelled at the drop of a snowflake. So, I am happily working away and enjoying the view. I am finishing up some orders and working on a couple exciting projects I will share soon! Oh and lots, lots of new work that will be available as prints very soon.
my name is Lisa
and I have an addiction to chalkboard paint. There I said it! I can’t stop myself. I just painted our powder room with the stuff. Fun, no?

which came first
So a couple of weeks ago I got a haircut, a much needed haircut. Then this morning we went and got my daughter’s hair cut. When we came home, I realized we now have almost identical cuts…
happy weekend!
Have a beautiful weekend!
