Ohhh- Owls.. I just love Owls. We listen to the Screech Owls at dusk and dawn and then the Barn Owls later at night. I think they are magical.
My plans for 2010 are to get something up for sale on my own Etsy shop. Got the shop started, but have not put anything on it yet. I guess being busy is a blessing, but there just don’t seem to be enough hours in the day

I have looked at letterpress before and bookmarked it for the future. I have to say I must really love owls because my favorite thing is … Owl letterpress Moleskin Cahier … I NEED one of those!!

Ooooh…letterpress! I love the sweet cake flags… they’re so sweet!

2010–I will be 50, so I want it to be a year that counts. Try new things…always wanted to learn photography. Finish old things–too many projects that need completion. Banish the phrase “I can’t” out of my vocabulary.
:o)

Piroska

I tweeted (under the name pippirose77).

The Sign Language Moleskine is my total fave I think, and the ferris wheel cards are a very close second.

I decided that I love the Blue Bird mini letterpress notebook. I really like little notebooks like that, I’m always jotting down ideas.

I also have an owl collection, so of course I was drawn to this calendar!

Thanks for the opportunity.

plans for 2010: I am embarking on a new adventure: Big Heart Services, compassionate crisis management. I have done social work and counseling for over 30 years and am now forming my own business to accomodate the shrinking services for those in need. We will see how big or small it becomes…size is not important, it’s the quality. Your cards would be beautiful thank you cards!

I pass on your giveaway offer to others via these magical computer vehicles…away it goes into web land…

Ooh. Honestly the owl is my favorite, but I absolutely love so many of the other things in the shop, too, like the congrats card and the ferris wheel card.

julie green

Oh, I am so entering all three times for this contest because my son would actually die for that owl calendar and I love it, too! So my big plans for 2010 are raising our new baby girl, who is due at the end of 09, and my small plans are to sit and think and enjoy as often as I can.

julie green

And I’m back. I tweeted about the shop, but I don’t know how to link to a tweet. Anyway, I’m @upupcreative and here’s what I said:

I think my son would learn to sing a ballad just so he could thank me balladically (a word??) if I got him this: http://tinyurl.com/yk7t66j
