My shop update!

 I just recently finished up another couple of custom drawings! The drawing above is for the lovely and sweet Ashley from I Believe in Unicorns. AND: I'm offering her readers 15% off of a drawing order for the month of July! AND: if you order before the 15th... I'm offering 20% off your whole order... more details on her post here.

The drawing above was actually a blog banner/custom drawing combo. Miss Megan is crazy awesome! She runs marathons... AND, loves baking. I guess that's a great combination! :D Please, visit her blog.

Shop update!!!

Say hi to my most recent finished custom drawing! This was created for Melissa from Hi, Baby. She wanted a thumbprint tree for her upcoming wedding... Don't know what a thumbprint tree is? Well... instead of your wedding guests signing a guestbook... they all mark their thumbs around the tree branches to create leaves! Please, check out my shop if you're interested!

Some banner creations:

The first banner is for Ruthanne of Eclectic Whatnot, followed by Sarah of Little Citizens of the World, Mummarazzi, and Brianna from Unexpectedly Expecting baby. I'd LOVE to work with you! Check out my shop if you need a blog banner!

Shop update: more drawings and banners!

I've been drawing and creating banners like crazy! I'm a busy girl... It's hard to find to do anything while being a stay-at-home mom.... BUT, I can do it. And, am doing it... slowly... but, I am. :) The first drawing was for Tricia of Desperately Seeking Silence. She told me to just go crazy! So, I did. Well... I could have gone even more crazy... but, I'm happy with how it turned out!

This cutie is the grandson of a lovely lady that owns a tattoo shop. She thought it would be cute to hang up in her shop.

AND: Many banners... this isn't all of them... just a sampling of what I've been creating. :D Who are these for? Here: This little port, BluEye Blog, Hella Kids, Little Red Buttons, and The Monfort 3.

You can get your own banner... button... drawing... or tattooed baby at my shop: The Paper Mama Shop! yay! Check it out.

Goodies in the mail!

I've had this camera strap for a few weeks now... it's taken me this long to remember to blog about it! :D So... here it is... my beautiful new camera strap from Barely Measured! I absolutely love it! It matches my diaper bag that Barely Measured ALSO made for me. And, it has a lens cap holder. That's a HUGE plus for me. A little confession: I used to just stick my lens cap in my bra... wear else do you put it when you don't have pockets? ;D

In addition to my awesome new camera strap... Ruari received a little goody in the mail.... :D The little custom doll I ordered from Rice Babies! I absolutely LOVE it! She totally customized it for me... the colors I wanted... the tattoos... the hair in the flower... AND: she made matching headbands for Ruari and the dolly (which hasn't really been named yet... she keeps calling it Coco. Coco is what she calls her FBFF (Forced Best Friend Forever) Coral. So... maybe it's a mini Coral? :D Sorta looks like her.

A little Coco comparison... I think she looks like the doll:
