My husband constantly surprises me. Not only did he remember it was my birthday, but he got me an amazing gift! Without ANY prompting! He even wrapped it himself…in foil and found ribbon in the craftroom. I have to give him major points for that.
He got me a Bamboo Tablet for the computer! What this does is allow me to draw on the computer more intuitively. It’s for use in place of the mouse and is amazing! I have been wanting one for a few years and he stored it away and went on the hunt and found one for me! (The link above will show you a video on what it is and how it works.)

I have been busy drawing up all sorts of fun stuff. Some of these will be screen prints.

what a wonderful gift.. yeah for you
I love your artwork, and Happy Birthday!
I got a little Wacom a few years ago... and I just can't seem to do it/get it/grasp it/hold it. You inspire me to dust it off and give it a go tomorrow. Hopefully giving it a go while it's snowing!
Such a great pressie! My husband needs lessons on buying pressies from yours lol The drawings are so adorable :)
ooohhh so looking forward to how you get on with this. Someone was getting rid of theirs last year, and gave it to us, but I haven't had a good play yet.
I will say that's so lovely of your hubby to have wrapped it so sweetly. aawwww - brownie points for him, for the rest of the year.
wow, what a cool gadget! i'm anxiously awaiting your screenprinting. you're gonna make some great things!
Happy Birthday and how lucky you are!! Enjoy your wonderful birthday present!
Great drawings, can't wait to see all you create!
how fun.
are these drawings going to be embroidery patterns, like my dream?
Cute drawings!
I just watched the video. What a cool birthday present you got.
Ooooh! This reminds me to look for my UPS tracking # because I ordered one of these at the end of last week! I am so glad you love it! You've got a great husband there. Definitely a keeper.;)
excellent gift : )
It's so cute that he wrapped it in tinfoil. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your drawings.
Ohhhh, wonderful gift! What a great hubby! I cannot wait to see all the fun stuff you'll do with it! Happy belated bday and I hope you are feeling better :)
I think I just found my birthday present for April :) Want it, want it, want it!!!
I want a tablet too. I've heard good things about theses Bamboo ones. I think my husband is getting me a photo tent for my b-day.
what a super cool birthday gift. i especially like his wrapping. i love the drawings that you made with it. that squirrel is particularly adorable.
ooo, lucky, lucky. I'm sure you have to be able to draw first, right? haha. I heard about these the first time when Quilt Dad attended Heather Ross' fabric design workshop. Very cool. Have fun!
What a 'crafty' hubby you have. I am impressed with the foil job. So glad you posted about this. I'm going to go check your link out now.
Alex bought me a Bamboo Tablet - the same one I think - for my birthday too (which was in October)! Aren't our boys awesome?! Can't wait to see more of what you come up with while using it!
Too Cute drawings! MR got me one years ago, then updated the computer and told me there was no place to plug it in. One of these days I'm going to get brave, and smart, and figure it out if it will still hook up. Technology changes so fast and some toys are left behind
:c(...like me...haha
Blessings :c)
Very cool! What size did you get: small or large? I'm just trying to decide if I'd be happy with a small one.
love your header and the gift, niiiice job! I don't think my husband hears my hints at things, hahaha
Oh my goodness, I just got one of these too from my awesome hubby. I'm mostly using it for Photoshop editing, but it's fun to see what you're doing with it. Maybe I'll have to give that a try too!!
LOL! love the foil!!
Yippeeeee! How cool is that? I just got one of these babies myself. Sadly, haven't had more than a few minutes to play, but I'm looking forward to it.
beautiful
Happy belated birthday, I'm glad you posted that cool gift I had never heard of it. I'm way behind on technology!
Enjoy
Super cool! Love the foil idea - he's a keeper :)
I'm sure you will do even more amazing things now with that toy!!!
