Back to work I go

Well, this week is my officially last couple of days of summer. I work for the school system and have the summer off but that will come to an end next Tuesday after Labor Day. I have been working very hard to pump out as much art as possible because I anticipate I might slow down once school starts. I will be transitioning into a new position and am excited and leery of what will happen in this new position.

My niece commissioned me to design and cut a Hello Kitty paper cut for her 8th birthday, so of course I made it cute as possible.

Love giving gifts

Recently, my 7 year old niece stayed the weekend with me while her mother volunteered for a women's Christian conference here in the DC area. I had tons of fun with her, she reminded me of how old I am and how little money I have, lol.

While she was here she got to look at my paper cut art and was extremely impressed- her words not mine, with my art. I pulled up my Etsy page and explained to her the process of paper cutting and she enjoyed learning about my craft. After a brief discussion, she asked to do her own paper cut and I drew out her name.

 Later on, she asked if she could get a paper cut for her birthday- September 12, 2013. That made so happy as a Aunt! We discussed what she would like and she decided on Hello Kitty as either a punk rocker, a fairy, or as a ballerina.

Here is her name:
