Hiya.

I’ve added four new Christmas-colored backgrounds.

There’s also a new PDF of some printable gift tags. They’re free to print and use, though this new batch takes a little longer to load than might be expected. And don’t forget I’ve got plenty of free Christmas stationery, as well.

On a totally unrelated note, a while back I decided that I was going to create something arty and amazing using only MS Paint. For those who have never used this magical program, MS Paint is a horrible pixelly drawing tool that comes free on your PC. It’s also been around for a very long time (I remember running it on Windows 3.1) and unlike so much software, Paint never seems to improve with time. I was planning on making some kind of MS Paint masterpiece, but then I decided that life is probably too short for this crap so I’m going to post what I’ve already done and walk away.

I’ve updated the links at the top of the site to include a link to my Spoonflower fabric shop. I get a small commission on the sale of any of my designs, and there’s 13 patterns available to choose from.

Happy Holidays!

Happy holiday greetings!

I’ve added one new background and one new wallpaper. The newest wallpaper fits into the possibly running theme of ‘adorable-animals-that-look-like-paper-cutouts,’ and now I know the joy of spending a Saturday night trying to draw lipstick (à la Clara Bow) onto a cartoon reptile.
I’ve also uploaded some brand new holiday gift tags. I don’t suppose gift tags are all that useful one day before Christmas, but there you have them.

There’s also a small collection of iPhone wallpapers available on my Flickr account that you are free to download. Since iPhone wallpapers are only useful to a small percentage of the population, I’m posting them in the Flickr pool to give them a better shot at exposure. I myself do not actually own an iPhone, so somebody has to please tell me if these things actually work.

Also, now that this site is a blog I feel a little obligated to find some good ummm… blog friends. The other day a lovely site called iDIY gave a shout-out to my little Christmas Stationery collection, and I somehow got an email in my inbox telling me they had linked to my site. I think my own blog emailed me. There’s probably a technical explanation for this, but I’m going to go ahead and assume it’s ***BLOG MAGIC***!!! My point is, if you or someone you know has a kooky graphic design website and wouldn’t mind being associated with this place, then please leave a link in the comments.

Happy Holidays!
