Someone recently asked me if I still make playdough, since I’m so rarely on here. I do! I still take orders, I just don’t make collections very often, because of my busy schedule.

In fact, I’m making dough today for some valentine orders and my sweet boy, Gravy, just had to peek around the corner to make sure it was going well. 😉

So, if you are ever looking for gifts or just playdough for your own family, I’m happy to make something up for you. Just shoot me a message!

As a THANK YOU for still wanting to support my little playdough business, even as I’ve slowed down this past year and a half, I’m offering this big Christmas Tree kit for FREE!

Put your name below and I’ll pick a winner tomorrow afternoon. Delivery will be Friday, December 19th.

Last year was a year of family loss and sickness, and this year is just straight-up busyness that has kept me from doing much with playdough releases and shows. Not sure what 2026 will look like, but I’m so grateful for you all! Enter away!

I’m at Open Space Art Gallery & Studios, along with SS Shirts N More and Run Today for Tomorrow, until 9pm.

SS Shirts has donated an ornament painting kit to go along with my raffle dough/certificate. Just $1 an entry! Everything we collect, I will match and donate to Run Today for Tomorrow.

I invite you to come and pick something out for Christmas or as a fun elf gift!

I’ll be at Open Space Art Gallery & Studios this Friday for a pop-up shop! I’ll join the art gallery, along with SS Shirts N More, from 5-9pm that night. I’m super excited, not only to have my playdough out, but to join these fabulous artisans. This is the only public showing I’ll have this Christmas.

I’ve put together some cute stocking stuffers all in the Christmas theme. I will also have a handful of Nativity To-Go Jars. Everything is under $10, except for the few Rudolph Mini Kits that I’ve made that are $18.

I’m adding a Christmas Tree Mini Kit with a $25 gift certificate for a fun raffle too! I invite you to stop by Open Space that night as you mingle through the Chris Kringle Market to find some wonderful gifts.

*Nothing is available for pre-sale. Whatever I have left over, I’ll post next week. 🙂

I’ve been working hard to provide you with fun new Halloween/Fall options for tomorrow’s Fall Fest! It looks like it’s going to be a super-fun event. The work they’ve put into it is evident. It already looks amazing!

I’ll be down on Court Street ( #33), next to the Courthouse.

Here are the things I’ll have in my tent. Prices and descriptions are on the photos. My tent will be set up from 1-5pm, so stop by, after the parade, and grab some dough or say hello. I’ll have my free playdough table out for the kids to play at too. ♥️

I’m currently taking an extended social media break, but I wanted to pop in and let you know I’ll be at Fall Fest on October 5th. It’s looks like it’ll be an amazing day! Heck, with Scarecrow Fest on Saturday and Fall Fest on Sunday, it’s going to be a fabulous weekend in Ottawa!

I’m making the last of the playdough today and putting the pieces together this week. I will share photos next Saturday of what will be available.

Super excited to participate after missing last year. I’ll have Halloween jars and new fall scents as well. Yay!
