this is a fun post for me because you'll never guess who made that sweet felted heart above: my very own mom. :) my mom, pam, is one of the most creative people i know (she used to have a doll-making business-- how cool is that?), and she and her talented friend ann (a fantastic graphic designer, and she even created a banner for my mom's business back in the day) have teamed up to make some adorable and inspiring goodies. i have one of these hearts hanging right above my desk that says "love you". it's a nice reminder. :) they're working together under the name milagro loco chic (FUN name!) and are having a blast.
this is one of the cards that's available in their etsy shop-- i'm hoping they add more stuff soon, because it is all just too cute!
i definitely got my love of art and making things from my mom, so it's a real treat to be able to post something of hers here. and i used to babysit ann's kids when i was a teenager, so it's really cool to relate to her on an adult level now-- growing up is so strange, isn't it?
be sure to check out their shop-- if you are in the market for some baby shoes, be sure to check out these ones. i wish they fit ME! ha ha....
*thanks, ann and mom!*

Another coincidence: my mom also had her own doll-making business!

How cute are their baby shoes!!! Such a sweet post, I have a very creative mom and dad too. When I went to college and majored in Art my folks were so proud and happy for me. A lot of other artists that I knew who were majoring with me did not always have such supportive parents. Makes me so thankful...and yes growing up is a little strange. I am 32 and a mom but I don't think of myself as that old- ha ha
