Squirrels on my mind...and a prize bomb!

Remember my squirrel drawings? Well, I went and had some postcards made with the illustrations to send to art directors:
 
Those are from Moo.com and look pretty nice. People I know have also requested their own sets of postcards or note cards, so I've been looking at different printing places to make some nice ones that don't cost an arm and a leg. VistaPrint did a good job at reasonable prices. For 4.25"x5.5" cards, I am asking $1.75 for one card or $8 for a pack of 5 cards (both with envelopes). 

I've been doing squirrel drawings every day, so I'll have plenty more designs to choose from. :)

Now for the exciting part of the blog: prize bomb!

I know how hard it is to get around to reading a bunch of different blogs, and even harder to actually make the effort to leave a comment, so I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge a couple of people who leave more comments than anyone else on my blog (besides my sister, but I already give her plenty...advice; she loves that because all younger sisters love unsolicited advice from their older sisters). And those two lovely peeps are....*applause*... Maureen and Steve!

So, Maureen and Steve, for being loyal commenters you have a choice of a set of my squirrel note cards, a paper copy of In A Land Far Away, or some handmade soaps. Let me know!

Do you have a favorite site to recommend for printing up cards or do you do it on your own printer?

Crafting cards

Remember the trade that Gracefruit and I are going to do? Well, my cards are done! Here are photos of 2 of the different sets. This first is of the photo notecards with pictures taken by me:This next photo shows photo cards with photographs taken by ds#1 and are on my handmade papers. I also made a set of gift-tags/mini-notecards that are similar to the above. I hope she likes them! They smell really nice. ;)
