Ztampfilicious

Yay! Look it here… got my copy of Life is A Verb by Patti Digh with three of my art in it :).

And the wonderful cover is done by no other than Donna B. Miller - one of my  Ztampfilicious Girls! I’m so proud of her! In fact, it was through her that I heard about Patti Digh’s super inspiring blog: 37days and about the invitation to participating for the book. Donna created an Artist Trading Card based on one of Patti’s essays for herself as a reminder and she sent one to Patti. This in turn inspired Patti to include artwork from her blog readers in her book. The overwhelming response to her artwork request made the publisher decided to publish the book in full colors! Isn’t it great how one good thing lead to another greater thing :).

Now go check Patti’s blog, get the book and, if you haven’t been doing so, start living your life to the fullest! Have a wonderful day!

Many of you have asked me to release Ztampf! CraftyCalendar Kit early this year to give you more time to create more CraftyCalendar gifts for your loved ones for Christmas and New Year. Some of you told me how it has now become a tradition to gift CraftyCalendar for Christmas and how it’s always such a hit with the recipients. I am so happy to hear all these :). Please do share your experience with making and gifting Ztampf! CraftyCalendar with us here - I’d love to hear more!

And guess what?
