I heart these hand-carved stamps!

So I was just browsing around on outblush.com, one of my favorite places to waste time looking at all the things I would love to buy online and I found a link to an etsy artist who makes hand-carved rubber stamps that can be carved to look like you and your loved one/significant other/partner in crime and I just think thats friggin adorable and crafty.  Check out the lilimandrill’s shop on etsy if you are cool enough to put your illustrated face on some outgoing snail mail. ;)

Wow ~ two great art-making weekends in a row. I can hardly believe it. ;)

I’m so happy when I get to spend some time at home working on art and relaxing – something I need to make more of a priority in my life. Lets face it – our time is precious and if we don’t give a little time to ourselves, then what is the point? Happiness comes in a lot of different forms and maybe spending time alone isn’t for everybody, but for me its a blessing.
