The bandwagon came...

...and I jumped on! I've been seeing a lot of ladies use this poky kind of item to hold up their cards for pictures. Check out Dawn McVey's blog and you'll see what I'm talking about. Turns out that poky thing is called a "floral frog" and is used to hold down flower arrangements. I hadn't really given much thought to getting one, but then I came across one at Michael's the other day, and it leaped from the shelf into my little hand basket! They're jumpy little buggers...

While showing you all my new frog, I thought I'd also share a great find from Staples. I found these pens on clearance for $2 (with tax). They're perfect for keeping in your purse because they're only four inches tall, but better yet, they're ideal for including in handmade paper crafting stationary sets. At 40 cents a piece, you can't beat it!

Today, I'm pooped. I ran nearly three miles last night in the sweltering heat (it's still around 90F when I go for my runs in the evening time) and my body is letting me know that we had a good workout. I'm actually going to get crafty now since I have some pre-orders to fill. Pre-orders of what, you might ask? Well, here's another sneak peek.

I can't wait to share what I've been up to!!
