“Life is short and we
have never too much time for
gladdening the hearts of
those who are traveling
the dark journey with us.

Oh be swift to love,
make haste to be kind.
~ Henri-Frédéric Amiel

 

It's finally summer. Yay! We are looking forward to some relaxing days ahead after a super busy Spring. I've been drawing and writing so much that was down to my last three pencil nubs. So I bought two dozen new pencils and now I'm back in business.

Ten years ago I started thetoymaker.com as place where folks could download free paper toys to make with their kids. I stopped counting after two hundred toys and seven million downloads. What I haven't stopped counting is how many days it's made me happy to make things and share them. (Which is all of them. :-)

Wishing you a creative week!

Best thoughts,

P.S. Last month I promised a small peek at my "SECRET" project. Can you guess what it is?
