A Walk in the Park

This photo, which was taken at the Seattle Art Museum's Outdoor Sculpture Garden, will remind me of the day Nicholas walked between JD and I while holding our hands.

I used to daydream about this milestone and it was a dream come true.

Thumbprint Trading Cards | Updates

Belated Happy New Year! I spent January working on several changes to Thumbprint Trading Cards.

There have been a few clarifications (on our website and on our Etsy shop) regarding our policies. We have also dusted and rearrange our store front.

Have a look!

Winter White Holiday Season

It is unusual for Seattle to receive this much snow. The first few days were gorgeous and it even kept my husband house bound for a bit, which my son and I loved. But then it snowed and snowed some more.

By the end of a week long stretch, we were less concerned about holiday packages arriving in the mail and instead keeping our fingers crossed that the snow shovel would finally arrive despite payment for overnight shipping.

Holiday Gift Giving

My husband and I will be very busy in the kitchen this December. We have decided to gift delicious treats to our family and friends.

Our favorite is chocolate dipped dried apricots. Dark chocolate dipped fruit will be finished with fleur de del while milk chocolate dipped fruit will be garnished with candied ginger.

Featured Artist at Art on the Ridge

Through the month of December Thumbprint Trading Cards is a featured artist at Art on the Ridge, which is a gallery and studio in Seattle's Phinney Ridge neighborhood.

For the holiday season we have packaged our social appointment and note cards with a matching key fob card holder. They make the perfect stocking stuffer and holiday gifts for co-workers and teachers.

You can learn more about Art on the Ridge by visiting their website.
