Out to Lunch

Or maybe “Out to Moving”?  We are moving at the end of the week and I am in a mad rush to get everything packed up and ready to go.  You’d think that with all of the times I’ve done this that I would be more organized about it by now, but apparently not.  So I’m forcing myself off of the computer and packing it up so that I can get stuff done.  I am way behind on my emails, so if you’ve emailed me I promise to get back to you as soon as I get my computer back up, but it may be a week or two.  If it’s an emergency (like you bought something and can’t get it to download) put “IMPORTANT” in the subject of your email and I’ll have my husband take care of it.

Things will be slower at Sugar Frog Fonts, too, so if you’ve sent us a handwriting sample in the last couple of days it may take a bit longer to get your font back to you.

See you soon!

Two Freebies

I found myself scrapping the other day (“I know, can you believe it?!” *done in my best Homestar Runner voice*) and I needed something that I couldn’t find, so I made it myself.  Then I just kept going and ended up with a whole kit.  So… if you want to buy the whole  kit, you can get it HERE.  It’s just $4.  Here’s what it looks like:

I made some matching flairs as a freebie (click image to download)…

And I also made this little stitched Valentine’s alpha, if you like pink (click image to download)…

Here’s a detailed view (it’s only shadowed for the preview)…

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a super weekend!

Prehistoric {CU}

So I’ve gotten a few emails since I retired about selling my doodles as Commercial Use and I’ve been thinking about it.  I don’t think I will bring back the sets I retired, but I have been working on a few new sets and converting some of my old graphics to CU.  I don’t know if there is any interest, but if there is I’d love to know what kinds of doodles/clipart you are interested in.

I just converted my Rawr! dinosaurs.  They come as layered psds, png doodles, and also bonus completed graphics. (Click the preview for more info.)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!  Are you ready to get back to regular life yet?  Yeah, me neither.  :(  My parents were here visiting for the holidays and we have been having a WONDERFUL time.  They’re leaving on Monday and I am SO sad.  They live so far away.  I guess I’m lucky that I get to see them once or twice a year, but it would be even nicer if they lived right down the street.  They did buy a new house while they were here and my dad will be retiring in a year or so. so eventually they will end up right down the street!  In the meantime we will be living in their house.  I can’t tell you how happy I am to be moving out of our apartment.  2009 was such a rough year for us with my DH losing his job and everything, but things are getting back on track now.  Thank goodness!

Normally I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions, but this year I decided to make a little list:

  • Work on improving my health
  • Do more service, be more giving, focus on others
  • Go back to church (I’ve been inactive for a looooong time and I’m ready to go back, not just for spiritual reasons, but because I really miss having friends and there are always lots of new friends to make at church)
  • Spend more time interacting with my children, not just watching them play, but playing with them!
  • Make more “Us Time” with my husband.  The boys are three years old, it’s time for us to start dating again.  lol
  • Find things to like about myself and let go of the negative feelings I have about myself.
  • Be more positive

It’s an incomplete list, but I think it will keep me busy!  lol  What about you?  Do you have any resolutions for the new year?

Where Has the Time Gone?

Wow, I can’t believe that December is more than half over!  Where have I been???  Actually, I’ve been sick, my boys have been sick, even my husband (who almost never gets sick!) was sick.  So we’re finally all back on our feet just in time for Christmas and I’m in a panic because I have sooooo much to do.  My parents will be here visiting for Christmas and I have a long list of things I need done before they get here tomorrow.

I haven’t had much time to do anything fun or crafty, but Ivy and I both managed to finish a few more fonts so there are a couple of new ones up at Sugar Frog Fonts now.  We just signed up for a Twitter account and will tweet whenever we post any new fonts.  I even made us our own little Twitter button!  So go ahead and click it if you want to follow us.  :)  Or you can subscribe to our RSS feed if you want updates that way.

Have a wonderful week!  :)

Visual Legacies (& a Freebie)

Hi everyone!  I normally don’t post much about my children, but I wanted to show some photos that I received today.  About a year or so ago I met a wonderful lady online named Larissa.  She’s a photographer and recently we got together and she took some photos of my boys.  She was so awesome with them and she got some really great photos!  Here are a few of my favorites…

Didn’t they turn out great?!  If you’re in or around Mesa, AZ and want to have some photos done, I would totally recommend Larissa!  Check out her site: Visual Legacies

I also have some holiday gift tags for you!

Thanksgiving Word Doodles

Thanks to all who answered my question about dressing kids alike for photos.  We ended up dressing them similarly, but in different colors, but there was a mix-up with the scheduling so they ended up not having their photos taken afterall!  Oh well!

I have a little freebie for you.  Just some doodled words for Thanksgiving.  The come both colored and plain.

Have a wonderful rest-of-the-week!  :)

Multiple Moms – A Question!

Quick personal post here!

Do you dress your kids alike for picture day at school?  My twins are in preschool and they are having picture day this week.  Normally I don’t dress them alike (I have nothing against it, but they wear different size clothing and their personalities are SO different so they don’t like the same things – cars and trucks versus aliens and dinosaurs, you know!  lol).  But I was thinking that I might so they’d coordinate.  We are having them taken together, as well as individually, so I thought it might be cute to match them up, since it’s not something we usually do with them.

Good idea or cheesy?

Boo! Treat Bag Toppers

Let me start off by saying that I am no hybrid expert, so I wanted to start out simple. Very simple! So I made these cute little treat bag toppers and they turned out really cute.  My little boys just turned three and are in preschool now so later in the month I’m going to send some treats to school with them for their classmates, but I wanted to try them out now to be sure they printed out right and everything.  And they did!  Anyway, I made them with my Boo! Halloween kit.  I’ve included them with Happy Halloween on them, but also blank in case you want to put something else instead.  Once you cut them out and fold them they measure approximately 3.5″x2.25″.  I’m using them with 3.5″x7.5″ polypropylene (cello) bags, they fit very nicely.
