Celebrating the shuttle launch with a little free art

It has been a busy week, but with a little boy who is very excited about anything space, we had to pause and celebrate the last shuttle launch.

To commemorate the occasion, I'm giving you a free art printable poster.

I've always loved this quote....

ooh my, I ♥ oohmoon { & a giveaway! }

Just when I think oohmoon can't get any better (did you catch the series last week on adorable bugs?), Illustrator Katie Moon hits me in that special Mommy soft spot in her new series The Family Circle.  Today's print, the first in the series, is above.  Rush over to oohmoon to get it free right now!!

I've posted before about how much I think oohmoon is great, not only because I have no idea how she finds the time to create such creative illustrations EVERY SINGLE DAY, but because she offers them for free-FOR FREE-for the first 24 hours, then only $4.99 if you miss the free time period. 

I contacted Katie to see if she would be willing to offer a giveaway of one of her prints to my readers, and she graciously and enthusiastically agreed {and she didn't even make me beg}...

She's awesome.

Freebie: Printable You Are My Sunshine Poster {an alternate version}

Here is another free printable poster for your enjoyment!

I have always loved the song "You Are My Sunshine", but for some reason it always seemed to me like a slightly sad song.  Also, having more than one child means that I don't really like to sing to one of them that they are "my only sunshine", so I created this version to sing to my own children.

 

 

Hope you enjoy it! 

Click on the image above, then right click and save the image to your computer. 
I uploaded it as an 8x10.
