i've got ink

No, not that kind of ink. Today some of my creations made it into a story about handmade gifts for the holidays that appeared in our local paper, the Argus Leader. I was so thrilled when Janna, the story's author and one of the first people I'd met when we moved here, asked to use some of my "cute things" for a photo shoot. Three of my items made it into the spread: my stuffed bunny, a stuffed puppy + an elf. How cool is that?

As you can see, the elves were tickled pink at their new stardom and very intrigued. It was tough to get them to stay focused on the task at hand: their photo shoot with me for tomorrow's Mod Dots shop update. I've got three elves for the update and more things planned (perhaps a couple bunnies). Oh, and did you notice the HUGE stack of papers in the photo? My husband surprised me with them. ♥ Apparently, that's only half as many as he tried to buy. There was some concern of him buying up all available copies.

That's great Laurie!
I'm a big fan of your blog, and your creations. My favourite right now is the Elfette with the Bunny.

Wow!! I'm so impressed, but not surprised. Your creations are so fabulous. They are very deserving of their stardom!

Congratulations on the paper credit. I love the little details on the elves -- they are very cute.

So Laurie, when will your book be coming out?! Congrats!

I love the elves - and such great shots of them - clever!
