The Most Creative "Peanut Butter"

HeHeHeHe. I can't stop giggling over this. Butter-colored clay shaped to look like a peanut, then wrapped in a (margarine and butter-ish spreads count, right?) butter wrapper. You could have so much fun with this sitting on your desk! It functions as a desk toy, paperweight, conversation piece, or object d'art, and it would make a terrific gift for a co-worker or fellow peanut butter lover.

This hand-crafted original piece of art is from Amanda's Shop of Random Things. Check out her shop, you're sure to find something to get your giggles jump-started.

Peanut Butter. HeHeHeHe.

Mice and Peanut Butter and Jelly

I found this original ACEO painting on eBay, and I love ACEOs--so I had to share it with you. (There are about 5 days left before this auction closes, so there's time to go on over and place a bid on it!) Painted in acrylics by Anita Ware, there is a ton of detail packed into this little 2.5" x 3.5" piece of art. The only thing I can't figure out is which mouse made the sandwiches?

A New Superhero

Kathy Jeffords, also known as KJ, is the genius behind Peanut Butter Girl. I love her determined, no-nonsense expression, and her superhero costume is pretty sweet. I asked KJ about Peanut Butter Girl's origin:

One day, I was thinking of my grandma, who passed away when I was in high school, and how a friend of hers used to call me Peanut Butter Girl when I was little.
And it just hit me that Peanut Butter Girl kind of sounded like a superhero name. And of course, a superhero named Peanut Butter Girl HAS to have a jelly-related sidekick, right?

KJ's favorite peanut butter is Peter Pan Honey Roasted -- and it's gotta be crunchy! And she shared her favorite peanut butter "recipe":

take some peanut butter, take some Cool Whip . . . (quantities are totally up to your personal taste) -- mix'em up and stick it in the freezer for about an hour. It is heavenly. You don't have to freeze it -- you can eat it immediately -- but freezing it makes it so much better!

You can find Peanut Butter Girl prints at The Dreamy Giraffe.

George Washington Carver Greeting Card

Now you can you share your love for George Washington Carver when you send a birthday card, thank you card, or Happy Peanut Butter Day card. It's also the perfect--and obvious--choice for celebrating Carver's birthday on July 12. This card is a print of an original painting by Marilyn R. (Meier) O’Brien of Art by Marilyn, who also sells prints suitable for framing.
