I woke up like this

Kids Wall Art- Typography

I have created some groups of my best selling kids wall art. Here is the first group, you can find these prints in my Etsy Shop! I will be posting more fun groups- feel free to tag them on Pintrest and Instagram!

New Art on Zulily!

I know I know its been awhile since I last posted. I am trying to do too many things at once and you know how that goes. I am going to be revamping this blog and my website in the next coming months so stay tuned. Right now I have a great sale on Zulily on some new and popular kids wall decor. I have been working with Zulily for a few years now selling my kids wall decor. They are a great flash sale site with lots of kids stuff as well as home decor, women's, and men's goods. Many of these designs are also sold in my Etsy shop and once I get my website revamped there as well. I have also been busy getting ready to post some YouTube videos so look out for those soon. I hope your having a great summer!!!!

Where Have you Been?

 

I know I know- what the hell happened to me??? Well I have been busy posting more on Facebook and

Google+ and Instagram than here- I am also going to be doing a YouTube show as well- and I will make sure I post it here. Its hard to keep up with all the social media!! I promise I will do better I will I will!!

Things are just rolling around here in my studio- hoping that this record breaking snow here in Beantown land finally melts- I cannot tell you how much I do not want to see white stuff for a very long time!!

In any case- I hope you will check back here again.. I am going to start to begin to post some of my new goodies beginning tomorrow!!

It's been so long!

Sorry folks I almost forgot I even had a blog- between Facebook and Twitter I have left my blog in the dust. I just find it much easier to converse on the other two platforms but I then realized I can have a much longer conversation here!

So its been FOREVER since I have been here, the update is Priddy just released 9 more Schoolies™ titles and they have gone International! You can now see my books in UK, Norway, Spain, Mexico, Finland and Italy! This is very exciting and we are looking to place Schoolies™ on some other fun products soon! I will be exhibiting again at this years Licensing Expo June 17-19th at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas Booth E71. If your in Vegas please come by my booth, you can see the whole Schoolies™ line and my lifestyle line as well. 

I also have been busy creating and selling kids wall decor on Zulily. I love this site, they have such great stuff for great prices. I have another event coming up on July 8th so look for it! I have created many new fun designs perfect for any kids room. I soon will be branching into other products so look for them in the future. Also you can find many of these fun designs in my Etsy shop!

On a personal note, my oldest will be going into High School next yr and he was excited to get into the school of his choice. Since I went to a Catholic all girls high school I knew he would love the all boys school in our area. This school is amazing and he feels like its a perfect fit for him. My youngest will be going into 5th grade next yr, where does the time go? We had a great family vacation in April at the amazing Beaches resort in Turks & Caicos, if you want an amazing family resort this is it! Our summer vacation will be local, going to Martha's Vineyard in July. We love the Cape in the summer, there is no place like it, and if you haven't gone to Cape Cod in summer you have to make it someday. Some towns feel like your lost back in time, esp on the islands.

I am going to try and do my best in the future with more blog posts, its difficult with so much going on but I feel like I let my peeps down by forgetting about it. So I am now going to make it a point to contribute as much as possible!!

Forgotten Blog

I cannot believe its been since May that I have last posted, this is what happens when you have a Facebook page, you neglect your blog. I feel actually ashamed that its been this long but with work so busy and the summer you forget sometimes. Things have been moving along here in the studio, I am busy working on the next series of books due out next Spring and I am very excited about all the new books Priddy is putting out. Schoolies™ have been spotted in many stores across this country and in the UK and soon they will be in Italy, Mexico and the Netherlands. You can order Schoolies™ online here at Barnes & Noble, and Amazon, Walmart, Pottery Barn Kids stores, Sams, Costco and from what I hear many other stores even in airports so be on the lookout. Its so exciting to see them in the stores... here are some pics my agent sent me from Pottery Barn Kids in Shorthills Mall, NJ.

Here are the Schoolies™ in Toys R Us!

 

and here are the Schoolies™ in Target in Canada!! ( thanks Robin Davis for the photo!)

and lastly Schoolies™ in Barnes & Noble in NJ.

 

Can you tell how excited I am!! I am very excited about the next yrs fun new book as well. There will be sticker books, a chalk book, a special package with books and a game , just lots of fun and new things for the little preschooler. Besides Schoolies™ I have been busy working away on lots of fun and new collections for my clients all over the world. If your in Japan stop in PlazaStyle stores for some of my fun products, if your in Israel you can find many of my stationery products in your local stores. I have been also selling lots of my fun kids wall decor on Zulily, Gilt and Fab.com. September 24th I will have another sale on Zulily with my popular kids wall decor and some fun new goodies so look out for them!

If your a mom of a little one you must be on Zulily, its a one stop shop for all things for kids. They have great clothes, decor, furniture etc. I love working with them, such a great bunch of people so I know your experience with them will be the same.

Also I am working on some new fabric collections with some of my kids designs and floral designs, I cannot wait to use these, the ideas are endless.

So as you can see its VERY busy here and its not stopping, I hope to try and post more on the blog but with things being as crazy as they are I cannot guarantee. I suggest you go to my FAcebook page for my studio, and my Schoolies™ Facebook page for all things Schoolies™ !

Until then I hope everyone is having a great Septemeber, here in MA its so hot you would think it was July, which is just crazy! Hopefully it cools down soon so we can go apple picking which is one of our favorite things to do as a family.

2013- Happy New Year!

woo hoo Happy New Year!! We made it through 2012 intact! Hooray!!!!

I had the most productive/busy year in 2012 and already 2013 is starting off with a bang.

Looking back I can see I have achieved many of my goals for that yr with the exception of a few.

Sadly because I was so busy my workouts were slacking and that reversed some hard work I had done the yr before. It also didn't help that I found out I had arthritis in my knees and now it seems allover so workouts are not as easy as they used to be for me.

So what do I wish for in 2013, well I already know I will be traveling quite a bit this year which I am excited about but for my goals here is some that I jotted down I will share.

Get more organized.... god knows this is a huge problem in my office!!

Finally learn Italien... I plan on living in Italy one day so I better start practicing now!

Get back into top shape... I have already been working on this.

Expand my global presence.... I have been working on this for the past few years and will do more this

yr.

Have a big toy company as a licensing partner for my Schoolies™ brand.

Enjoy the momen to moment and not think so much about the future.

Learn to embrace Yoga.

Learn to meditate.... this  I do not do well but will do my best.

 Read more.. since my day is full it seems I do not have a moment to finish the books I buy.

Get my boys to get along better... their age difference and personalities make this one difficult but I am working on it

.

Don't sweat the small stuff... This is HUGE For me... learning to "let go and let God' has never been easy for this Aries.

So here is just a few of mine... what about you? what goals do you have this yr you hope to fullfill?

I wish all of you a Happy, Healthy and Productive New Year!

Rainbows during a storm!

 

Its the Frankenstorm here in MA and while the weather outside may be windy, rainy and down right nasty I am looking at rainbowss. These are just some of the fun new prints I have up in my shop.

If you are dealing with this horrible storm today I hope you are safe and I am wishing you lots of rainbows in your future. I am hoping things will not ruin Halloween but its not looking pretty here in MA or in other New England states.

Dream of rainbows.
