ABC

12342

When I was a little tacker, I’d get so amped about gift giving, that come MY birthday, I would buy presents for everyone else. I’d slave over the wrapping, trying to do flashy things with dried macaroni and milk bottle tops, what a weirdo. Anyhoo, I’m still kinda holding onto that a little. And so, with 14 friends having had babies in the past year, I’ve decided to continue with mass gift giving and designed an ABC123 poster. Being a designing Mum, I’ve developed a fetish for ABC’s. Guess that’s natural. Or not. But anyway. Here it is.

Warm Afro Fuzzies

Sesame Street and The Electric Company give me warm fuzzies… I tracked down a clip and turned it into a poster for my alphabet loving 2yr old. I am quite taken with Bill Cosby’s vest. Vest? It’s a man-pinafore really. Mani-fore…
