SNOW on my mind!

It's over 100 degrees...ALL WEEK! So what to do? THINK SNOW!!!


My desk is covered with snow sayings, snowy sketches and I'm even listening to snowy music. I'm doing more than escaping the heat...I'm busy designing the next Flip-it series, which has a SNOW theme. 


Last year I did the 6 Fat Men Flip-its and those chubby guys were popular. They're still going strong - just ordered more snowflake charms this week.  But now it's the GIRL'S turn! This year's group of 6 weight-challenged snow ladies will (tentatively) be called "6 Fluffy Gals".

I'm having a "ball" working on the flaky ladies. How do you tell a snow girl from a snowman? It's all about the accessories. That brings to mind a great saying from one of my favorite movies "Steel Magnolias". The Clairee character (played by Olympia Dukakis) quips "the only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize!".

Amidst a crazy pile of sketches, 6 designs are slowly emerging on the computer. I'm using the same color palette as last year's SNOW series, so they will coordinate! The designs will all work separately, or you can combine them using some FREE motifs to link them together.

Whatever the weather outside...these SNOW gals just wanna have fun!!
