New Invitation Line

Our Family is Growing....

and so am I :)

I wanted to share our news with everyone~ We are having another baby! After about a year of trying to persuade my husband, I am finally pregnant. I couldn't be happier. Yes many things are going to change, but only for the better. This was not an easy decision for us. Adding another child is not something to take lightly. It all boils down to in 10-20 years would I regret not having another baby? The answer is a big YES :) So here we! I am 3 months along. The first 12 weeks were not a lot of fun. I'm not complaining, but I'm SO glad they are over. It seemed like all I did was sleep for 6 weeks straight. I can now eat food without getting sick and make it through the day without my afternoon nap. The girls couldn't be more excited. I will never forget their reaction when we told them. They couldn't believe it. They were jumping and screaming. I just wasn't sure how they would react, but luckily they couldn't be happier. 9 months will go slow for them, but it will certainly be worth the wait :) Life as we know it has defiantly changed.

Birthday Celebration Line

I want to introduce my NEW birthday invitations. They are so sweet and would be perfect for a toddler birthday party. I also have made matching thank you notes and party favor tags. I already have had a lot of interest in them :) A company would like to buy them in bulk and I have received my first order for a set. I LOVE the line and hope others do too.

Get your Christmas Cards early this year!

CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY

I am having doing a Christmas Card promotion right now! For every order of 2 or more sets of Christmas cards, I will include a FREE set of 12 coordinating gift tags. That is a $10 value. Hurry and place your Christmas Card orders early this year! This promotion is only good until October 31st. Here are a few of the Christmas designs that are available in my shop.

I just wanted to share a design I did for a customer. They turned out adorable. This was the 1st silhouette I have done of a baby. Sometimes I get nervous to do silhouettes because I'm not sure how they will turn out. So far everyone has loved the silhouette drawings I have done :)
