Kal's custom "You Are Awesome" posters. She sent me one for Simon and one for Anna and I can't wait to get them in frames. I love Kal's super positive outlook on life + creativity.

• And a very warm welcome to my newest sponsors: *Shey*[B] Camera Straps, and The Vintage Pearl

Have a great weekend!

    LOL, okay, I find it very interesting that you find the same things inspiring that I do! I follow both Kal's and LollyChop's blogs (like I do yours!). I love those posters ... and I loved Lolly's take on your butterfly project. Did you see her punched heart project? Amazing! (time consuming) but Amazing!!!!

    Help. I downloaded the journal cards you used for your Baby Reflections Journal. The print in black. How do you change it to pink? It is probably really easy but I am computer illiterate. I have a mac and know how to change the color of the word documents, but this one has got me stumped.

    Ali, the posters caught my eye immediately. I have a SON who is a ZOOKEEPER in the small primate house, aka, MONKEYS, and his name is ETHAN. Is he going to get one of these posters? You bet.

    I love that You Are Awesome art! It looks like it will fit the style of your house perfectly (especially if they sent orange for Anna!) Great new sponsors, too. That butterfly collage is so organic and amazing. Thank you for your links today!

    Ali - your post from the other day is still haunting me. The photo of your newborn Anna napping so peacefully in a pale pink and cream (handknit?) blanket has inspired me to move on from knitting scarves to this blanket. Was it perhaps handmade?
