Published in Parenting! - The Scrap Shoppe

Super duper exciting news!!

I was published in the May issue of Parenting!

Whoop, whoop!!

I am so stinking excited!

Its not a huge feature. And technically its for my Etsy shop, but really, it all originated on the blog!

I had an editor for the magazine contact me a few months ago asking if they could include my Thomas the Train ticket birthday invitation in their May issue for a birthday party theme round up.

Of course I wasn’t going to say no!

I emailed the editor the photo and… heard absolutely nothing back.

Not a peep. Not a word. Nada.

I was pretty certain that meant I wasn’t actually going to get in.

THEN… one of my girlfriends spotted the invite in her May issue!

I don’t subscribe to Parenting, and apparently you can’t buy it ANYWHERE. Ugh!

Luckily I have some friends who helped me out and now I’m the happy owner of 3 copies. 🙂

If you receive Parenting magazine, you can find me on page 80!

And speaking of the Thomas invite, I recently added another item to the shop to help simplify your Thomas the Train party.

A printable party accessory pack!

I staged myself this little party scene and had quite the fun time putting it together.

I’m pretty sure the neighbors think I’m nuts.

Included in the party pack are 4 different cupcake toppers (one blank to fill in with the birthday boy/girl’s name and/or age), 4 different flags/banners, water bottle wraps, a table centerpiece, and blank tickets for DIY bunting.

(I had a customer request the blank tickets once to make her own Happy Birthday bunting & it turned out so cute!)
