Pet Post -- Holiday Costumes



My dreams of successful Halloween costumes for the pets didn't really take flight this year, despite my creative efforts. I tried to turn Peanut Butter the rabbit into a PB&Jelly sandwich (pictured above), and boy was that a struggle!! So this Christmas, I decided to give them a break and take comfort in other people's festive pet costumes...Cheers!

Deck the Halls


image via abeautifulmess

This year, with all the craziness, I assumed my tree would inevitably look like this one (above), filled with post-its and scattered thoughts. Thankfully, my friend Karyn decided to have some special friends come and decorate HER tree and it got me right in the holiday spirit!! Check out this very well lit tree and Santa's little helpers:

Dakota poses with the duck by the tree!

Desmond gets stoked!

Final Product! Happy Holidays!! Xo

Pet Post -- Awkward Family Photo?!


Don't get me wrong, if I had more time, I would photoshop Santa hats on all these pups -- but something about this picture reminds me a bit of my favorite funny family site AFP...

AOD -- Rob Matthews and Tom Edwards



"If Drawings Were photographs
– [is] the first ever zine published by It’s Nice That. The brainchild of designer Rob Matthews and Illustrator Tom Edwards, put simply – 'Tom gave drawings to Rob and Rob tried to make them into photographs.'" I'm loving the results!
