Time for Wild Things

Wild Things

I'll admit...when I first saw the new Imaginisce Wild Things line..I got a little giddy! The new line has glossy accents, ribbons, rubons, stickers and some of the cutest stamps ever!

We're an animal family...every time we go to the Zoo...we have to see the Zebras. The Wild Things line just cries out for Zoo photos, animal pictures and more!

And more is just what you'll see with our talented crew and their amazing creations.



Jenn's nightshade is beyond adorable and Anabelle's idea for the animal container is genius! I know you'll agree!





Animal Gift Set

Tip: I reused a container that had preciously held some cookies. I decorated it and added some little animal toys. This would be a fun gift for a little guy!

Thanks so much for the comments you left us for the Back to School collection! Our random winner is

My kids aren't in school yet so I haven't given it much thought. When I was little my mom came into my class and we all drew a picture on fabric using special markers. My mom then sewed the pictures into a quilt for the teacher. It hung in her room for years. I recently saw a little sticky note cover and altered pen that I thought was really cute and would make a great gift!
