happy holidays ~ thank you for a great year!

Thank you for making 2011 our best year yet! We will be taking some much needed time off to celebrate the holidays with our family and will be closed from December 22nd through January 2nd.  We look forward to an exciting 2012 with loads of new designs and products!

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

brand new serving trays + journal sets AND our 2011 holiday collection for tinyprints is live

I've been busy behind the curtain over here......sort of like the "Wizard of Oz". I've just added two more products (personalized serving trays and personalized journal sets) to my shop. 

In addition, my collection on tinyprints and wedding paper divas has grown tremendously over the past few months and  I'm so excited that my 2011  holiday collection has recently launched! A few of my favs are below:

brooks' modern nursery - featuring our photo canvas

My friend and partner/collaborator, Kelly Douglas, over at itzy ritzy...recently shared some photos of the nursery belonging to her sweet baby Brooks. Shortly after his birth, Kelly ordered one of our custom photo style announcement canvas prints for his room. After she sent me a link to his Serena and Lily bedding, I was able to customize the colors in the print to coordinate with his room.

I'm a huge fan of the blue and orange...super cute!

name your design : cool mom picks

As a small business owner, when a nice press hit comes along.... it gives me a nice little confidence boost and reminds me that I really do have a good thing going here and should give myself  a little pat on the back.

However, when THIS press hit came along....I bypassed the pat on the back and went into an all out running man/ cabbage patch dance routine. I'm so excited. I feel like I've made it to the big leagues.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for sites like cool mom picks that give a boost to small businesses.  It's pure awesomeness. (Thanks Mir!).

To share my excitement...I'm offering 20% off everything in the shop until the end of April. Use code CMP20. (Sorry, not valid on previously placed orders).

jay-z : life + times

If you know me....then you KNOW I love Jay-Z. Love him. Just finished reading his book a couple of months ago....and it only amplified my admiration for him. So, how excited was I to see his new site up and running ?? Very.

A collection of art, style + design through Jay-Z's filter. Awesome.

Be prepared to waste a couple of hours on your first visit.

life + times

simone's sweet growth chart (via the gunclesonline.com)

As you know, I met Bill & Scout (aka, "the guncles") and their sweet baby Simone last month at the Boom Boom Room. They were incredibly sweet....

Anyway,   I was SO excited to see that they are enjoying the strawberry zig zag growth chart I made for Simone.  They posted a pic of her on their blog today....

What a big girl!  

Thanks to Bill & Scout for sharing name your design with your readers.
