I tried something new…, originally uploaded by mewpaperarts.
…a bit of an experiment. I would say the result is somewhere between a mild sucess and a minor failure. So it’s only “ok”–not spectacular and not a sheer disaster.
After having an inspiring and uplifting breakfast date with a new friend who has made a very [...]

New Hair, originally uploaded by mewpaperarts.
When Dino and I started dating sometime four years ago he semi-jokingly told me that the one thing I could never do would be cut my hair. From the time I was in grade school (when my mom started beauty school and used me as her guinea pig…errrr “model” for [...]
What’s new at Mew?
I've taken some of the holiday favorites of my Etsy shop and given them a new hat to wear! Plus, added some new stuff to the collection as well! These little gift tags are all available in my shop and will be just darling on your holiday packages.
Last week I had to print a huge [...]
Melissa Darst Photography and Creative Lettering
I thought I’d introduce you all to my new friend–the incredibly talented Melissa Darst…mother, wife, photographer and font enthusiast!
Melissa contacted me some months ago to work on a birth announcement for her brand new baby girl. An artist herself, Melissa had a fun and funky vision for the project which makes my job super [...]

Are you a Fabulous Designer?

Then get yourself over to Seeking Designers where you can showcase your fabulous designs! Okay, the "Fabulous Designer" bit is their phrase, not mine…
Seeking Designers is a newer version of a platform similar to Trunkt. I've had my Trunkt membership for nearly a year now and have updated [...]
Thank you, friends!
I knew you all wouldn’t let me stay down long! I woke up this morning feeling so much better–for the first time since Saturday I could breathe normally and not feel like I was sucking air through a muddy hose! I started my day nice and early with tea and a homemade muffin with my [...]
Slump.
Creative Block, originally uploaded by mewpaperarts.
Mostly I try to keep it light here in this silly little blog of mine. After all, people read blogs for ideas and inspiration right? Not to be bogged down in the miry shit of someone else’s life. But it’s obvious that I haven’t blogged in a [...]
