Last week, a ... http://mewpaperarts.com/new/2010/02/whats-new-at-mew-nesting-baby-shower-stationery/ A few weeks ago, after an article about my business ran in the local newspaper, I received an e-mail from (what I thought was) a woman who was a Girl Scout Leader inviting me to come and speak at an event to help young girls learn about having their own ... http://mewpaperarts.com/new/2010/02/giving-back-with-the-girl-scouts/ I've been lucky enough to meet a few of my Etsy pals in real life.  Lauren of Ornametal just happens to be my neighbor, which I probably would never have known if not for hours of forum surfing during my former day job.  And Michelle of Cicada Studio and I ... http://mewpaperarts.com/new/2010/02/an-evening-with-perideau-designs/ There's always so much love in the air in February!  I may be a scroogey Grinch around Christmas time, but I definitely get in the spirit for Valentine's Day.  Maybe it's because there is the promise of spring right around the corner.  I have fond memories of Valentine's Day growing ... http://mewpaperarts.com/new/2010/02/february-is-for-lovers/ I think 30 years without a broken limb or need for stitches is a pretty good run, no?  But we all know, good things do come to an end.  For me, my good luck ran out yesterday when I was preparing dinner for a wee little Superbowl gathering.
