SOME EXCITING THINGS TO SHARE

• I just read about the "indie-mart" over at polka dot robot. We're going to be in San Francisco that weekend and I am sooo excited.

•  I also came across these CUTIE paperdolls at babalisme.  Stop by her blog to download the PDF file.  I had been wanting to make some magnetic paper dolls for em for our plane ride to keep her busy-- and these are just perfect. make sure to check out her entire blog for even more wonderful printables!

•  More lovely clip art can be found at one of my favorite blogs-- puglypixel.com.  Katrina shares too good to be true freebies, and takes the most beautiful photos!  you will LOVE her "paper buffet" download. I promise.

•  find the "ultimate collection of paper textures" at best-photoshop-tutorials.  It is absolute heaven.  here are a few favorites:

•  I also came across a super inspiring japanese blog called 8 tokyo. I could spend all day looking through the posts.

• And the new issue of spoonful zine is finally here.  I bought the first issue a while back and loved it! VERY inspiring.

•  Red Velvet Summer Camp is starting real soon.  I haven't signed up yet--but know I will!  All of elsie's classes are wonderful and inspiring.

• One of my journal pages was featured at kind over matter.  it is the page, and poem that inspired this painting. 

• Don't you love songs that you never get tired of...click here, and listen to / watch the most beautiful song ever made. sigh. love mazzy star.

•  I also want to say thank you for reading my blog.  It's a way for me to unwind, and relieve stress, and to push myself to be creative daily-- which is so good for my spirit.  And I'm glad there are people out there who support my creative journey, and actually like some of the things I have to share!  I am honored.  I also plan on doing a GIVEAWAY! when I get back from my San Francisco trip so stay tuned.

• Lastly, here's a funny little photo of "indie emily"...

Have a great long weekend!!!
