When I was a kid living outside of Buffalo, NY, we had an in-ground pool, and every summer, my dad had a "game" with a local frog. He'd go out to the pool, find the frog swimming around, scoop him out and throw him over the fence. The next day, the frog would be back, … Continue reading Hoppy Hoppy Birthday!

If … Continue reading A chapter of scenic bookmarks

Some more successful than others. I made this card, filling the claw machine with bananas … Continue reading Lawn Fawn: Claw-some Party Mashup
