I'll "Tumbler" For Ya!

It's Earth Week 2008! So here's a Tudy Tip to help save the only planet we call home:

Take a Tumbler!

Every time you go out for a juice shake, a soda, or a cup of coffee, Take a Tumbler with you and say NO to disposable paper, plastic or styrofoam cups! Request the server to fill-up your tumbler instead! Not only do you help reduce the amount of trash, most shops will actually give you a discount for using your own tumbler! How smart is that?

And since this is a Tudy Tip for Earth Day, how could Woofy, Meowry and Kawaii not get into the act? Design your own Tudy Tumblers with the TudyPets! Check out Tudy Tips for the how-to. Not only do you take them home with you, now, you can take them out with you!

Any more ideas for Earth Day?

Moon Magic

Even J.K. Rowling said she "adored" The Little White Horse, an old-but-forever kind of fairy story. Written a long time ago by Elizabeth Goudge, it's a classic tale about a feisty young girl who sets out to right a wrong and, in the process, discovers her true worth and her true self. It actually has several stories - the white unicorn, the moon princess, the beautiful valley of Moonacre, and Maria Merryweather's own story - but they all get intertwined and resolved as one. It has a little bit of romance and a lot of adventure, but what else can you expect with a heroine like Maria?

So, on a clear moon-lit night, take the time to read this classic, and discover the magic of the moon princess and The Little White Horse!

Tudy Stripes

Here's my first set of Tudy Was Framed! photo frames - Tudy Stripes!

I just love stripes! They define and focus attention. Just remember that horizontals widen and verticals lengthen. Its a trick you can use in crafting, fashion and even interior design!

So here's the drill - download the images, resize to fit the pictures you want framed, and cut-out (be careful!). Use a cutter and cutting mat for this project for best results! Get framed!

I Was Framed!

I love scrapbooks and photo albums! They keep precious memories safe and close to your heart (which is a Truly Tudy Thing!)! So I'm really excited about my new project - Tah!Dah! - Tudy Photo Frames! I'll be posting Tudy Was Framed! photo frames and mattes every month. You can download the images, resize them, print them, and cut them out (as always, be careful!). The original images fit 4x6 photos, but you can resize them using your computer. And it's best to use a cutter and self-healing cutting mat (which you can get from any craft store) for this project.

Decorate your scrapbooks and albums as you please! Keep posted and get framed!
