gone white

So I have been making these simplistic cards and I actually like how they came out. I love white, but I am always thinking people feel jipt (is that a word?) that there is no color. But you know what, I do like the minimalist feel to them. Check them out in my shop, I have more, and I think I'm going to make some prints like this and maybe some life books/scrap books also.

I guess it depends if people like them and would want to see more of them on other products.

You know what, I never show whats on the back of these cards. Here is the back of this one.

poor murph

So I had to bring little Murphy to the hospital yesterday. the poor thing was constipated. He was having such a hard time, it was awful to see him straining and crying.

The vet gave him a rectal and found some blood, but that could be due to straining, she sent it in to be analyzed.

How would you like that job? to analyze poo.

I got to tell you, the vets office just loves Murph. He gets so excited when he sees people that he just has to wag his little tail and get all hyper. hmmmmmmm now that I think about it, that's a sign of an attachment disorder.

But I digress, he is now on soft food, his favorite. He actually might have to stay on soft food due to the fiber.


I have to call her on Saturday to tell her how he is doing. Meaning, how he is pooping. Oh what a life.

But anyway, the dog is now being pampered like he is the king of them all. I never got that kind of treatment when I couldn't poop.

some new baby invites

So, what do you think of new layout?

Much simplier, dont you think?
anyway, onto the new products.

I made some new baby announcements. I also have shower cards and stuff with the same kind of theme.

Just asking if you like my baby and adoption products if you can vote for me. I would love to be one of the top 100 galleries featured. Plus, I want to see if this really works...lol.

baby books

I just love baby books. I know when my kids were adopted, their baby books were so important to them. I made these 'easy to customize' baby books for the expectant parents getting ready to have their babies. These also make great shower gifts.

Check out the store for stickers, cards, shower invites that match these books.

behavior bucks

Turn you child's behavior around with these 'behavior bucks'. Getting tired of the star charts, the marbles in jar. These 'behavior bucks' are so easy to carry around with you, in a car, your purse, your wallet, anyway you might be with your child.

You can use these 'behavior bucks' for any behavior your trying to install in your child. Like doing their homework, cleaning their room, good language, chores, being nice to their siblings, or anything else your child is having a hard time with.

Catch your children behaving good and throw them a 'behavior buck' to surprise them.

You can be as creative as you want with them. Then they can turn them in at the end of the week for extra TV time, video games, computer time, staying up an hour later, or a prize. You decide how many bucks they need to earn for certain Privileges.

Plus, these 'behavior bucks' you can personalize with each child's name on it. On the back of each card, you can write down what the child did too earn the behavior buck to keep track of what good behavior he earned to get the ticket.

But most of all, the kids just love them and love to earn them.

here is an example of what one looks like.

school daze

well, things are finally settling down some at home. The kids are back at school, still trying to get them back in their routines after the holidays. THe little guy just hates going to bed.

The dog is still tearing up every single piece of paper he can find.

We are still having food issues with Murphy. He Doesnt seem to like his kibble, but he will eat it when he is really hungry. Do I dare mix it with canned food?

I am even back at work, after being sick since Jan 1 with the worst cold I think I ever had. I couldn't even zazzle all that much, even that made me pooped.

Congrats Lindsey!!!

Thanks Lindsey from Calf. for your purchase of this photo card. And also a big congratulations on your adoption.

Valentines Day Cards to hand out for Kids

what are those things called? Are they called just valentines day cards. Well, either here nor there, I made some..lol.

These cute cards are great for sending to their classmates. Some of them are uni-sex so the boys don't get embarrassed. (you know how boys can be)

These cards are great for the parent that doesn't have the time to find the scissors and start cutting or tearing out these valentine cards. They are already cut, so just sign and go.

Here are just a few of them, don't forget to visit the store for a wider selection.

Valentines Day Cards to hand out for Kids by adoption_gifts*

Hi folks,

guess what? i sold two life books to someone.

Who doesnt understand what a life book is, its something that adoptive parents do for their adoptive child. Its different then a scrapbook, its an honest look at a childs life so the child has some idea where they came from.

I did mine for my two boys. Though they sit on the shelf collecting dust, they can take it out at anytime to remember.

Inside these life books, hopefully there are photos of their birth family, their foster homes, anything about the child before they came to you.

Some adoptive children experience horrific things, and then they make up their own reality if they dont know exactly what happened, what these lifebooks do, is keep to the facts of what happened.

But then again, maybe she was using them as scrapbooks....either way, hope you enjoy them.
