Teacher Appreciation Gift

Inspired by the many fabulous teachers my children were - and still are - lucky to be taught by, I made an other version of my family tree. 

This time it is a class tree with the name of the teacher and all students, including details like school year, grade and a personal note. 

This teacher appreciation tree could also be easily converted into a boss appreciation tree, if you like to give a personal gift to your boss from all people working in his/her department.

You can find this wall art over at my Etsy store.

Happy Wednesday !

Happy Holidays 2015

Wow...I am just looking at my all time history of this blog - so far it had over 20 000 clicks.

 Thank you everyone who is stopping by from time to time. I appreciate every reader and every single comment. 

I am happy we are such a great, creative community who loves to get inspired by each other's art. 

My goal for next year is spending more time being creative and show more of my work. 

I love what I do and I hope you do, too ! 

Happy Holidays and a very Happy and Creative New Year !

Love, Maike

New Notebooks

I am very excited to show you my latest additions to my Etsy store...my first physical products handmade by me : Personal notebooks/journals.

There were a lot of hurdles to take on the way due to lack of supplies over here and  delays in deliveries, etc. but I did it and I am very happy with the outcome. 

So far there are four different designs available. Each notebook contains 50 blank, white pages metal wire bound with a card board back side and a frosted polypropylene front cover on top of the patterned cover which is printed on archival inkjet paper. There is also a matching book mark.

Each notebook will be custom made and you can choose a name/word to be printed onto the label.

All notebooks can be found here.
