HUGE, HUGE, SALE! 50% OFF
we have some big sales news to share with you!
after much deliberation, i have decided to draw my focus in at marzipan inc. to one thing.... while it’s nice to have an array of products, i want to return my focus where it all began.....greeting cards.
because of this i'll be offering 50% off all of my gift items at shades of violet until they’re gone! i still have plenty of stock of all of these products and will extend the discounted price until they sell out!
(i am NOT going out of business....just refocusing my attention!)

before & after : kitchen wall
i posted about this project we did with the little dude's artwork a few months ago. while i love the artwork, i just think it's too small for the wall. over the weekend i did a little project to remedy the problem.....
here's the after! i measured and taped off a large rectangle and painted it (in an accent color found on the other side of the kitchen) behind the artwork to make it appear larger and more balanced. i think it made all the difference!

scoutie girl preview
can you guess what my scoutie girl post is about this week? the photo above is a little clue. check out my full post here.

self-feeding
the baby has also been learning to eat with a spoon. it's quite a disaster to clean up after dinner every night, but he's so happy to be able to feed himself rather than having us do it for him. my little baby is growing up so quickly!

baby mosaic
i haven't had the camera out with the kids much lately. the baby was being cooperative the other day, so i snapped away. he'll be 17 months old in a couple days. he's still into everything and is learning by leaps and bounds everyday. it's amazing what little sponges they are. he knows every part of his body and not only points to them, but can also say most of the words as well. yesterday we learned knee and elbow. one of his favorite is "cheek". he brings me the lotion all the time and says "cheek" while rubbing his hand along his face. he loves it when i put lotion on his rosie red cheeks.

another gig
you may have noticed a new little graphic on the right side of my blog. well, along with my 15 or so jobs, i have joined a group of lovely ladies to create the stationery guides blog. this new blog will cover everything you ever wanted to know about stationery (and probably more). we have a schedule with different topics for each day of the week. i'll be participating regularly and hope you'll come check us out!
my first post went up today. "baby announcements : beyond pink and blue"

absent
except for my photos of the day, i have been very, very absent from blogging. i didn't mean to be, but it seems that everyday life took over this past week. i have lots to post about, but it will probably come in spurs over the next few days. i'm not sure i have the energy to recap everything at once.
one of the things i wanted to share is this little guy:
the family went thrifting this weekend. we only made it to one store because apparently they all close at 3:00 on saturdays! i found several cool things (maybe i'll post about them later), including this little owl. he's so kitschy and something i would normally pass by, but for some reason he called my name. i plugged him in to make sure he worked and then paid the $2.00 to take him home. he looks so fun lit up in the dark on my desk. i think it's his really graphic features and the pattern of the lights that drew him to me. for something i would normally walk right past, i'm shocked how much i love this little guy.

january 16, 2009 - photo of the day
today is the last day of a week of color. i'm sad to see it end, but it has also taught me to look deeper to find images to shoot. just when i think i've taken every picture in this house, i'm challenged to find something in a certain color and it opens up a whole new world! today's theme is stripes and plaids. if you'd like to see more from a week of color, click here. my regular photo of the day (with one photo only) will resume tomorrow! see you there!

january 15, 2009 - photo of the day
today's color is pink. (turns out most of the pink in our house is in the bathroom! probably because i'm outnumbered 3 to 1 in this house of blue!) see more from a week of color here.

individual magnet mementos
the first of the individual magnet mementos has been uploaded! it's a baby version, but can obviously be altered to fit any occasion. just think about all those high school seniors who would love to give their friends a magnet with their senior picture on it to put in their lockers! they'd make great favors at a wedding, or even a great hand-out after the birth of a baby. (who smokes
those cigars anyway?) really, the sky is the limit!
now off to design the rest of them!

chatty
(this photo has nothing to do with this post, i just think it's hilarious and i hate photo-less posts!)
the baby has gotten very chatty lately. he started saying a few words when he turned 15 months old, but now at 16 months is just a jabber-box! i don't ever remember the little dude saying this many things at this age. the baby will basically try to say any word you ask him to. it may not sound exactly right, but he sure tries. here's a list of the words he can say pretty clearly right now:
baby (one of his favorites)
cookie (probably the favorite of all!)
cracker
all done
dada
book
ball
tree
naughty (he's really good at this one probably because he hears it so much!)
pretty
school
go, go
bye
bobby (his word for blanket)
pizza
mommy
gigi (my assistant genie)
no, no
he can also make these animal noises on command:
monkey (his all-time favorite)
elephant
cat
dog
fish (opens and closes mouth like a fish....no real sound there.)
january 13, 2009 - photo of the day
i don't typically post more than one photo for my photo of the day but since i'm participating in a week of color, i thought i'd sneak a few extras in!
