Let's peel back these layers!

juliannlaw Here is a closeup of the endpapers in my debut picture book, THE WORKD’S LONGEST SOCK. I work digitally in Adobe Photoshop but the program doesn’t do it all for me! I knit all the pixels by hand! Haha! I do have things I do to help me work quickly and efficiently, though, like using layers. Here you get to see me take off those layers one by one till we are back at nothing but a background. The World's Longest Sock is now available on  Amazon ,  Barnes and Noble ,  Target , or wherever you  buy books !

a million halloween printables

In the last two years I've created about a million Halloween printables. Alright, maybe not a million, but a bunch. Here's the round up, new ones first:


Printable magnet poetry is available for free at TodaysMama.com. Did you know you you can get full magnetic sheets that run right through your printer? You can! At most office supply places. Or just print on cardstock and have fun arranging the words in all sorts of crazy, spooky sentences.

These treat bag printables might be just the thing for a classroom party or Halloween birthday. Available in my shop. {Insert evil laugh}.
Need a little DIY Halloween home decor? Here is a printable template you can use to cut bats out of black paper and hang from just about anywhere.
And how about making some dapper mustaches to stick on those pumpkins till carving time. Free template.
A new take on an old favorite, the Phantom Ghost is a note that gets delivered with treats via doorbell ditching to friends and neighbors who are then asked to pass it along.

And my favorite, some free printable Halloween-themed memory cards for your little ones.

if these old walls could speak. . .

. . . they'd tell fantastic stories of medieval court life and dragons and castles! I just saw these fantastic shadow puppets at Kate's Paperie but of course they are sold out! Wouldn't it be fun to make some though? Lucy's into pirates these days. . . I could design a set of pirate shadow puppets. . . add that to the list of projects I would love to do but probably never will. Seriously.

hospital buddies

Remember Lucy's hospital doll she named Birdie ? Well, we had a service project with the children's group at church a couple weeks ago and made a bunch of dolls just like Birdie to donate to Primary Children's Medical Center. They will go to future patients there and hopefully bring the same amount of love and comfort Birdie brought to Lucy. At our activity, we had 12 kids who stuffed, stitched, hemmed and dressed a total of 34 dolls! Patterns for dolls and robes can be found here: Doll A , Doll B , Robe A , Robe B . Download all four.
