Seeing how Valentine’s Day always seems to sneak up on me, I figured I’d get a head start this year. Rifle Paper Co. just announced their latest Valentine’s Day sets along with new custom illustrated portrait prints!

I want nothing more than to decorate my entire house with Rifle Paper goods. Seriously some of the sweetest work around; Valentine’s Day or otherwise!

Another amazing DIY freebie today! Amy Moss of Eat Drink Chic posted this a few weeks ago but it seems fitting for the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday here in the states. Delightfully sweet and equally as charming, this little “Love and Thanks” card is available as a free download through Amy’s site. Just Print, cut and fold!

Paired with a bouquet of flowers or dish of sweets, this would be the perfect card to add to a hostess gift or a simple greeting.

I finally have the complete set of baby shower goodies up on my Etsy shop! It seems that so many people I know are having babies these days so I felt inspired to make a baby shower kit of sorts. When I hosted a friends shower last year I had such a blast but it was quite the challange to come up with all the details. Hopefully this set will make planning a little easier for some of you.

This set, fondly named “Li’l Tweet”, is just the beggining of what I hope to offer in my shop but to celebrate I wanted to host a little give away! One lucky winner will recieve a Li’l Tweet Stitch Kit in one of four colors: green, pink, yellow or blue.

*To enter, just leave a comment below with your first name and last initial and tell us what you would do with your very own Li’l Tweet. You have until 11:59 PDT Thursday, April 2, to enter. The winner will be selected randomly on April 3rd and announced on Twig & Thistle, Monday, April 6th! Good luck!

NOTE: THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

A little eye candy for your Wednesday. Daily Poetics has a completely outstanding collection of ephemera on their Flickr stream. She has page after page of wonderful examples, I could spend hours sifting through all the photos. Here are a few of my favorites so far.

I am SO excited to announce that I’ve opened up shop on Etsy over the weekend! I hope to be able to share more templates and other craftables in the future but for now I’ve got just the one project (in 4 colors). I’ve received several requests for my Baby Quiz Scorecards from my friends shower that I designed and hosted, and I thought it would be a good place to start.

These PDFs are editable, so you can fill in your own questions and answers and then print and cut. The best part is that once you’ve downloaded the template it’s yours to keep and use again and again! Below are some pictures from my first listing at the Twig & Thistle Store on Etsy.

Choose from Blue, Pink, Yellow or Green
