You Messy Girls! (+ one man)

I knew you would come through for me! I feel a kinship with each of you now that I've peeked into your messes and realize that we are all perfectly normal (Those clean women? Whack-jobs.). Just bask in the messes with me, won't you?






And, it has become clear to me, thanks to Brightfish, that I have been going about it all wrong. Look at her fool proof cleaning methods below:





Damn! If I'd been cleaning like THAT all these years, The Big Guy wouldn't care WHAT the house looked like! House? What house?

Now, where was I? Oh yes, the winner of the "Boring Women Have Clean Houses" stick-it-to-the-man plaque iiiiiiissssss......Super Ninja Mommy


Congrats, girl, I can just smell that curdled milk now. I will be contacting you soon!

Are you bummed? Did you really want that plaque to stick-it-to-the-man? You can get one in my shop along with the rest of my line of MOM-tra Plaques meant to encourage and inspire you. Click here

Hope Studios This Week

Well, business has been good and picking up for me the closer we get to Mother's Day. I received my first Mother's Day order on Tuesday and hope to be better prepared for the rush than last year.

My Heartsongs Memory Plaques have been picked up by Redo The Room, an online custom bedding company. I'm up and running there and waiting for my first order.


I was talking with a customer about a quote she requested called "The Red Thread of Fate" and it inspired a canvas that is for sale in my Etsy shop.


I have also launched my new line of "MOM-tra" Plaques. You know, (mom) mantras to give you inspiration or get you through until bedtime! They are available in my Etsy shop, as well. If you have a "mom-tra" of your own, please share! If you want a plaque and don't see your favorite mantra, contact me to place a custom order.

You can enter to win a MOM-tra Plaque of your own by entering my contest to the right. Just click on the picture and it will take you to the link.




Below are a few of the custom orders I completed this week. Have a great weekend!
