was what the sign said, so I parked in front of the gingerbread shop, went next door and had a half a foot of hair chopped off;
managed one successful sit-down breakfast this week with french toast and everything;
stopped & gazed periodically at blooms and green things (it seemed at times the winter was never going to end);
marveled at her molecular gumdrop structure, then ate it;
had one evening that was so lousy that I was required by law to have a double scoop of fudge ripple;
managed to squeak by the Cake Boss without stopping for a snack on my evening run (the original is in Hoboken, but we just got our very own location in North Jersey);
arranged my paper-covered/hand-lettered thrifted books with my tissue-covered stones;
got my copy of this month's scrap 365
(my first publication in a UK magazine!);
tried not to panic;
had one very fine day;
received the most beautiful handpainted/collaged stones (thank you Laura)!;
was so tempted to swipe this bike from the ice cream shop and ride away;
made treats for goodie boxes;
made jotters for goodie boxes;
packed goodie boxes;
summed up my life neatly in two phrases, both usually going through my head at the same time (new print here);
and made washi wannabe/sticky strips out of my patterns. (if I have my way, there will be real Artsyville washi tape in the distant crafty future!)
Hope you all had a great weekend -- see you tomorrow for Glue it Tuesday!

I *love* the idea of Artsyville washi tape!!

My goodness you've been busy once again! You make it all look so beautiful! xx
it looks like your weekend was divine! and i LOVE your new print and goodie box goodies!! you rock the casbah, artsygirlie! xox
p.s. and i'm especially lovin' this concept of the two-scoop-fudge-ripple thing.....but my motto is: why stop at just two when three is so much more fun? :))
I'd love to purchase your washi tape. :)
It's a wonderful idea!
Productive week and life!! You go girl!!
It's all so fabulous...have you got your own font yet? If not you should have!!

that is exactly where i would love to get my hair cut...at the gingerbread shop!! darling! + i adore how you've covered books with your delicious doodlings! you give such an awesome overall menu for living. i'll take one of each, please.
LOVE aimeeness. xox
WOW - what a post!! Artysville Washi tape would be da bomb!!
Getting 6" of hair cut is always a big deal - I only get my hair cut every 4-5 months (mostly cause I'm lazy) and every time I do it is always a huge pile of hair on the ground!
Congrats too on being published in a new magazine - that's always something to be happy about!!
I love, love, love the gingerbread shop and your washi tape plans.
Oh my gosh, Aimee...there is so much good stuff here. Your daughter hanging from that door frame is adorable!! Your house looks lovely from the peeks we get here. (Especially loving the pillows in the breakfast area!)
What delectable eye candy. I found your Glue It Tuesday challenges on Deborah Weber's blog and want to play! I want more art!
Thanks for a lovely read.
AAAAAAAAH!!! I just love your life and the way you live it! You are the Queen of Color. I LOVE your breakfast table. And your covered books! And washi wannabe? Hahahaha, how fabulous! You know, I'm reading a book right now on how successful creatives find inspiration. It's filled with shots of their sketchbooks and stuff. But honestly, it is chopped liver compared to your photos and creations. You give me so much inspiration just by coming here. And Awesome! Congrats on the UK publication! Wooohoooo!!!!! xoxoxo
It is all fabulous, and full of colour and very magical yet real, but "tried not to panic" made me laugh A LOT...I have those children who come up with plans that involve me trying not to panic or thinking about closing my eyes far too often! She is gorgeous.
