As you might be able to tell from the light in these photos, I made some little autumn thank-you cards very, very early this morning. Well, not very very early, but early for a project to have been completed by me. I passed out with a fever last night at 8pm, which meant I was awake this morning...before 5! Took a few naps, daydreamed, watched the sky brighten, made tea, made cards.
Note to my boss, an adorably loyal reader: I did not stay home sick to make acorn cards. There are just only so many naps one girl can take.
I carved the acorn stamp, and made a few cards with the "thank you" written with various pens, but decided a darling acorn wouldn't talk in my gangly handwriting. Right? Totally. But then!- not only was I able to find my old letter-stamp kit from Sue, I found all the necessary letters, which are teeeeeeeny, and scattered throughout my craft supplies.
And here are my acorn-people sketches. And a mermaid. And the words "damnit" and "come on", I believe provoked by the fact that I couldn't seem to draw a stick. But those are good eyelashes, right?
Overall, a good morning for a feverish girl, made even better by this tribute to acorns. I take back my previous statements: I'd love to have White Stripes matryoshkas.
LOVE the acorn. It is so cute and makes me smile. I miss autumn! HK just doesn't quite do it the same.

I love your designs for the stamps! Those are not just the common stamps that you see in the many post office around. But those are just so creative.
