bookmarks for teachers-$4 each

Great little teacher happies, bookmarks for $4 each. They are laminated, rounded corners with colorful ribbon tied to the top. I can wrap them up for an additional $1. I have some on hand, but allow a couple of days if my supply is up. I can leave them out on my front porch for a pick-up. Email me.
Just a thought, you could pair it with a blank journal or a book for your teacher gift.

This was commissioned by my friend Ashley for her new baby boy's room-Charlie. I had alot of fun doing this. Charlie is so precious and I'm so glad he is here! Congrats, Chad & Ashley!!!!

nephew charlie



Above is the baby announcement I designed for my sister Polly's newest baby-Charlie. He and Ruthie are a few months apart-I'm so happy they will grow up together. Polly is too far away-in Dallas and that makes me sad, but we talk on the phone alot about life with 2 so sometimes she doesn't seem that far away. Charlie is getting baptized this weekend. He's the cutest little peanut.

I got my envelopes in for Ruthie's announcement today-so now I need to design them. So many ideas floating around in my sleep deprived brain.

easter and largen life

My table for Easter: love eggs, birdies, bunnies, spring colors, everything about this time of year.
Here is Ruthie (in the middle) with 2 of her baby boyfriends-they were sitting tight at this easter egg hunt. Reminded me of that Tostidos commercial when the ladies are having a playdate with the babies who are all asleep. Not roll around funny, but totally relatable.
My food craft for the year-we just aren't there yet for me to get motivated to do these type of cute food things often. But I did have fun doing these little rice krispy nests. Don't like and didn't have the coconut for the grass, so made do with icing I had on hand.
Henry getting handsy with the easter eggs. I think after our 3rd hunt, he started getting the hang of it and really likes to eat candy with the wrapper on.

Here's a failed attempt of a photo shoot with baby girl. Maybe she doesn't like being half naked and photographed. I have so many pictures of her crying, they make me laugh for whatever reason.

postpartum projects

Above is a birthday gift for my dear friend Frances, it matches the one I did for a Christmas gift for her.
These two dinos are making their way to Dallas to hang in my nephew, William's room-my younger sister Polly's son, he has just turned 3. I hope he likes. She says he's totally into dinosaurs.
A little door hanger for my friend Jamie's new little bambino.
Above is a prayer written for a little baby girl on the way-I did a watercolor design with the prayer and then painted the wooden frame.
This is a happy for my friend Rachel's new little one-Walter!
