  • I spent a good majority of the day yesterday designing and perfecting a handmade box for these pencil sets I’m making! 🤪 Feels so good to be productive! Cut them with my #glowforge laser 🙌🏻 Now available on my website at zooandroo.com: llama pencils, Lego inspired pencils and magical themed pencils! Local peeps, I still have time to make a set for your Easter baskets! Gold, white and red pencils in stock! #engravedpencils #zooandroo #easterbasketstuffers #llamalover #masterbuilder #harrypotterfan #keepingbusy #imadethat #handmadebox #usewhatyouhave
  • These are the cutest bookmarks ever! We started with a marble paper tutorial from @mcharpermanor using shaving cream and food coloring. Then the boys drew their Miximals on them, inspired by @benclantoon 😍 We laminated them and I taught them how to make tassels. Now what book to read next? 🤔 Zach’s currently reading The League of Seven by @alan.gratz and Ryan’s in the middle of Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban so he might be a while! #handmadebookmarks #handmadepaper #madewithmcharper #miximals #narwhal #stayingbusy #artoftheday
  • Interest post! Personalized pencils, yay or nay? Easter basket stuffers? 🤔 These are a magical theme, and I made some with art quotes for Reflections, but I can also engrave with names, other quotes/phrases, pretty much anything. 🤷🏼‍♀️ If there’s enough interest I can get them listed on my website. I have red, white and gold pencils currently in stock, waiting to be engraved! #engravedpencils #personalizedpencils #zooandroo #easterbasketstuffers #personalizeit #magic #harrypotterfan
  • I just love when people ask me for things that were already on my virtual To Do List. I often get so busy that most of those things I have dreamed up never get made. But then sometimes, someone comes along and reads my mind! 🤣 Today is one of those days! 🙌🏻 By special request, I got to make the Easter basket tags I’d been wanting to make! Yay! If you’re local to Holly Springs, NC there’s still time to order for local pick-up! Put in your address on my website and it will give you the option at check-out. #shoplocal #hollyspringshandmade #zooandroo #easterbaskettags #handmadeeaster #glowforge
  • Easter is going to be a little different this year. No church, no egg hunts, no big family gatherings... but we can still celebrate. We can stream church services from our couch. We can put pictures of Easter eggs in our windows for a neighborhood window walk egg hunt. And we can still gather around the table with our family to celebrate what truly matters. #itsstilleaster #whatreallymatters #zooandroo #handmadeeaster #easterearrings
  • We all need positive vibes right now, so I’ve just created these happy little magnets, and everyone who orders from zoo&roo during this stay-at-home pandemic will get one free! Just one small way to spread some light in this darkness. ❤️ Stay safe and stay home! #spreadlove #spreadlight #zooandroo #glowforge #handmade #handcrafted #engravedwood #handmademagnets #positivevibes #inspiringwords
  • We made chalk paint today with just cornstarch, water and food coloring! 🙌🏻 #itsgoingtobeok #coronavirusquote #artoftheday #chalkyourwalk #diychalkpaint #inspiringquotes #artwithkids #letsgetmessy #artkeepsmesane #arttherapy
  • So how are you doing after two weeks of social distancing? Have you finished Netflix yet? I haven’t really had any time to watch TV. I’ve been too busy keeping the kids busy! 🤣 You may have noticed, we’ve been making a lot of art projects. When the kids are getting along, I’m honestly loving it! 🎨❤️ But they are brothers and you know someone ultimately looks at someone the wrong way, or touches the others’ foot and all hell breaks loose. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I am exhausted every night. More than usual! I thankfully am well-stocked in my tequila, vodka and rosé! 🙌🏻 I did, however, squeeze in some time to make some new wine tumblers! 🤣 #practicingsocialdistancing #becausequarantine #zooandroo #stainlesswinetumbler #winetime #its5oclocksomewhere #whyteachersdrink #momtime #ineedadrink
