The end of the school year arrives at exactly the same time every year. Amazingly, I forget the chaos that defines the period spanning May 15 to June 17. Of course, if my kids did all their homework when it was assigned much of the last minute frenzy could be avoided. But alas, they don’t. So along with late night paper writing, all day field trips, band concerts, league meets, trips to Target for shorts that meet the dress code, and dances, I attempt to run a full-time business. Only 8 more days! Thank goodness.
On the field trip to Seattle’s International District last week I diverted the kids to an outdoor vendor row as we made our way by foot back to the ferry. I discovered Dawn of Pitter Painter. I love these cards. The butterfly is cut from the canvas cover of a vintage children’s book.
An unexpected delight came when she took the cards I had purchased and placed them in an envelope made from a magazine page. Amazingly clever and oh so fabulous!
That is super-clever and will jazz up any old letter. I think I will remember that trick!
What great cards!
I’m singing that last month of school blues too! PLUS we got kicked out of the house 3 days last week for termite tenting! YIKES!
Good luck with the next 8 days! those cards a beautiful!
I found pitter painter at Urban Craft Uprising last winter and really like her stuff.
I love handmade cards! Now I’m off to check out Pitter Painter’s website. Thanks!
