Shamrock Shake



The Shamrock Shake comes around once a year and for close to five years I’ve been deprived of having one. You would think that of the hundreds of McDonalds in New York City there would at least be one to carry them, but that would of course be too easy.

This year, after spending a few months back home in MN, I finally broke my shake silence.
The verdict? Just as good as I remembered it. Want to find one? Head to the shake finder site.

Winterland

Anne wandering around Como Park with the dogs. I love the bright sunny days when there is a lot of snow on the ground. Apparently there’s been 70+ days with over 5″ of snow in Minnesota!

that’s funny

Three things I say a lot according to my sister. She also did a similar drawing for her and my mom. Check it out on her blog.

mark’s birthday

My friend Marisa threw a surprise circus themed party for her boyfriend, Mark, who turned 3-0,
I mean “3″. My sister drew the icons and I created a custom party package that included: toppers, magnets, bunting flags, circus poster, “Pin the Tail on the Ramel” (Mark’s last name rhymes with camel) and a hand-stitched pink hobby horse. Want custom decorations for your next party?

deep thoughts

I created a few more PDF templates that are available in my shop. Maggie was kind enough to model the thought bubble. The templates are blank for you to fill in your own drawings or sayings. These can also be laminated and used with magic erase markers.

happy valentine’s day

My Valentine this year? Max. He’s my little Schnoodle (Mini Schnauzer + Poodle) who along with Maggie (the Yellow Lab) have been keeping me company while I’ve been in Minnesota. Only a few more weeks until I head to Denmark! Maybe I should start thinking about packing…

paper party crafts

Say hello to the Zinnia Cupcake Toppers and Garlands, a new line of paper party crafts in my shop. It combines all my favorite hobbies: design, craft and photography and best of all you only need basic craft supplies and a printer to make. My goal is to create unique party crafts that are easy to assemble and under $10. I can customize the designs to be in any color or can make a new design just for you. Email me for details.

the camera says…

Remember this doggy? I’ve had the chance to make a few custom orders in my etsy shop. Say hello to Mr. Yellow Lab, Miss Kitty and Mr. Bee. They’ve been a lot of fun to make and even more fun seeing them in action. Check out Mr. Yellow Lab for Heidi’s Powershot SX10 IS on her blog!
