Foodietoos for Summer Fun
Since the warm temperatures are with us once again, I’d like to remind you that wearing Foodietoos (temporary tattoos) can be fun and entertaining! They are a conversation-starter at any barbeque or picnic. Just think: You could wear the Foodietoo equivalent of an ingredient in the salad or snack that you brought to the party!…

I’ll be at Ridgewood Market’s Night Bazaar on Saturday, 4/11
I’m going to have a table at Ridgewood Market‘s 2nd Anniversary Celebration and Night Bazaar this Saturday evening. The last time I took part in this craft show with my art, cards, Foodietoos, and journals was in September.

This is a great year for the Christmas/Hanukkah card! I had these printed up a couple of years ago and they have been listed in The Nancydraws Shop, but this year Hanukkah and Christmas fall so closely together I am hoping this card gets the attention it deserves. On one side, Adele is trying to…
