While looking for birthday party invitation ideas for Luke's upcoming birthday, we found this gorgeous hand-lettered assemblage made out of sprinkles on frosting. I also love Rose's "theme." Luke had already decided that his was going to be "Roblox, Ninjas, and Angry Birds." Don't know if we have the time and the patience to make an invitation like this one, though.

Beckett's Fail Better
Although this is the finished print, if I were still teaching the first grade, I think I'd make up similar work sheets for my class to complete. They'd make a fun display. (See also Beckett for Babies, one of my own failure, of which there are many.)
