Mew Gets Some Local Press–Danbury News Times

A few weeks ago I pitched a rough story idea to my local newspaper, and lo and behold they picked it up!  With Valentine’s Day around the corner I wanted to encourage area residents to buy local, and have some fun with what many view as a “dreaded Hallmark holiday”.  I scheduled an appointment with [...]

Gratitude

A year ago at this time, my dad went into the hospital.  What started as persistent chest pain turned into a heart attack that resulted in the implementation of three medically coated stents to help keep Dad healthy for a long time to come.  I am grateful, every day, that there was a second chance [...]

Another installment of Photography Phrustrations

I definitely have enough on this subject to make it a somewhat regular post series on this blog.
In fairness, I’ve not really given myself a fair shake with the camera–I’ve hardly used it and have yet to take it out of the home at all to shoot anything of interest.  So, at this point, the [...]

Something Fishy

I wasn’t even going to tell this story out loud on my blog, because it’s so ridiculous and kind of gross.  But I find it, also,  sort of hilarious, and you know how I like to get a laugh.  And since this blog is a look inside my life, I thought it might be worth [...]

What’s new at Mew; Rubber Stamps!

Announcing our giveaway winner!

My Kate Parker Wedding: Mew Paper Arts is a Featured Vendor

A while back I read about My Kate Parker Wedding on the Think Splendid blog, and though it was still sort of under wraps and not out to the public yet I thought it was such a new, fresh take on wedding planning websites!  I am so excited to be getting on board at the [...]

Photography Phrustrations

Our Christmas wish list had only one thing on it–a new digital camera.  We did a ton of research and decided on the Pentax.  It came super fast from B & H and we’ve had it just under a week now.  We purchased a book with some helpful tips on general photography and I’m still [...]

Win Mew goodies in a Blog Scavenger Hunt!

Happy New Year!  Happy, Happy New Year!  Nothing like a clean slate to get things started off on the right foot.  Here at Mew, I’m making room for some new illustrations and designs in the collection.  So, I thought it’d be a good time to host a giveaway featuring some of my tried and true [...]
