Partridge Pack

Since being on Etsy and selling some of my things, this Partridge Save the Date design has been the most popular. A few have asked if it comes in a wedding invitation design, and I took it a step further and made a whole package complete with the Save the Date email, invitation, RSVP card, thank you card, and all the envelopes you'll need. It's not listed yet and I have to iron out some of the design, but I couldn't wait to show it! Stay tuned on Etsy for the real deal.

So, So Very Happy

I love being 'challenged' with different projects! Julia ordered the 'Partridge Save the Date Email' from me on Etsy, and she liked it so much she wanted to use the design for her favours she'll give away at their engagement party. So, she got me to make water bottle labels! What a great idea. She sent me some pictures of the finished product, and said she was "so, so very happy with the finished product." That makes me so, so very happy.

Bodie's Birthday

I really really enjoyed working with this invitation. It is for a boy's first birthday (seems to be my forte as of late!) so obviously we didn't want to make it too girly. I find it easier to do 'baby graphics' that look a little more girly than boy stuff, so this was more of a challenge. Which I like!

Future Cake Designer?

I really think I could have a future in cake design...

Yeah, right! This past Friday our youth group had a Cake Walk...ever heard of that? All of us leaders made cakes and some of the youth won them. This was my cake (and my husbands, but guess who did all of the work?). What do you think? It's a positive message, right...?

Grad Time!

Grad time is here and with that comes parties, celebrating, and painfully embarassing stories of how he or she at one time soiled their pants in the shopping mall at the age of two. Not that little Melissa here did that, but I'm sure her ma and pa have a few tales up their sleeves.

A Life in Polaroids

Who doesn't love Polaroids? There's just something about them that evokes a certain nostaligic feeling that no other photo-taking way does. Maybe because you only have one shot to capture a moment. A friend passed this website on to me and I was amazed. Jamie Livingston took one Polaroid every day from March 1979 to October 1997 when he passed away. It was kind of interesting to see what he was doing the day I was born (December 9 1982 - see photo below)

In Bloom

Spring is here, and I love it. I love the blossoms, the fresh green on the trees and the sun of course... I love how all these things bring such inspiration, and I love being inspired. Here's something I made for fun! Get it here.
