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.

fun pics on our facebook page...

I've just uploaded some  fun pics onto my facebook page. The pics were taken from the "boom boom room" (the pre-golden globes celebrity gifting suite) that I attended two weeks ago with my "crew".  All in all...it was a good time.  Here are just a few of the pics....

quick boom boom rooom recap via alison

Happy Friday! My great friend and talented blogger, Alison, did a quick recap of our recent trip to the boom boom room last weekend. Head on over to her blog to see a few fun pics of our booth and several of the celebrity guests. I'll get my act together and post my full run down next week! Have a super weekend....

  and  G O  B E A R S!

starting the new year off with a boom!

Happy New Year everyone! We're kicking things in 2011  with a bang.....or should I say BOOM?! What am I talking about?? Well....name your design was invited to attend the "boom boom room"...which is an exclusive pre-golden globes celebrity gifting suite in Beverly Hills this Friday + Saturday. I'm super excited to set up my booth and give away my goodies, but a tad nervous. I rarely watch TV and I'm sure that I'll probably only recognize 10% of the celebrities that are there.  I'm counting on my little support team, Alison, Kesha and Carlisa to help me out with names/faces!

 I am actually sitting in the airport right now waiting to board my plane to LA. I left on Tuesday night and made a little pit stop in San Jose to visit the team at tinyprints and chat about my stationery line. More details on this later...but I can say that, I am even more excited about my partnership with them after meeting everyone in person and am blown away by them. They are AMAZING! So proud to be part of such an inspirational organization.

Well...friends, signing off for now. I'll be SURE to post pics and do a fun recap of the boom boom room.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

my personal paparazzi pics (not kidding...real celebs)

I haven't had any time to do this, but I MADE some time this morning (mostly because my friends and family were driving me nuts about wanting to see these). So, when I went to Vegas for the ABC Kids Show, one of the reasons for my trip was to attend the Itzy Ritzy and Yum! brands (celebrity filled) fundraiser for World Hunger Relief. My sister and I attended this fab night out hosted at Eva Longoria Parker's nightclub, Eve.

Just a little side note: Itzy Ritzy’s Snack Happened bags (pictured below) support the World Hunger Relief and the World Food Program. The bags (which happen to be covered in my fabric designs), are available for purchase on the From Hunger to Hope website and come in packs of two for $20. Proceeds from each bag go toward feeding 40 hungry children across the globe.....so go and buy some today!



Ok, so on to the paparazzi pics that I took myself (using my fool proof method of "holding the camera up above me and shooting the pic)

a celebrity baby birthday party and me.

I was contacted by a celebrity event coordinator last month (side note: I made this connection via twitter...seriously, I've made SO many great connections on twitter. If you run a business...I would say it is essential to your growth). Ok, back to the party. The party planner wanted me to put together a custom birthday invitation and other pretty paper things for the birthday party of Josselyn Harris....the 3 year old daugther of Samantha Harris. I got a rundown of the "theme", which was a "sophisticated + elegant fairy princess party". I threw together a design as the first draft (thinking I'd probably be asked to make some changes), and Samantha loved it! yay! Here's an image of it below:

Here's a picture of all the party paper things before I sent them off to be displayed at the party:

I also sent my personalized, modern dots placemats for all the celebrity guests' children. Now, here was the FUN part....seeing pics from the party on people.com! Here are some of my favorites below:

thank you, thank you, thank you + thank YOU!

It's been a busy + exciting few weeks over here. Some of the more "fun" things to note:
1. Placemats seem to be a hit (yay!)

2. Wrapped up a BUNCH of new holiday designs for tinyprints. I am so excited for my holiday collection this year....I think it is my best to date :).

3. I was asked to design a custom birthday invitation for the three year old daughter of a super sweet celebrity, Samantha Harris (woo hoo!). She loved the invite and wanted custom pretty paper things for the party AND we gifted each celebrity guest with a personalized mod dots placemat. So fun! (lots of pictures to come from this, so stay tuned)

4. It's been a while, but I finally wrote a new post over at OMHG about a little system I devised to save time while designing.

5. Just booked my flight and hotel to attend the abc kids show in Vegas next week. I'm going to support my friends/partners at Itzy Ritzy. I designed a handful of fabrics for their 2010-11 product line and I'm excited to see them in action!

6. Lastly, Lots of sweet bloggers took the time to write about my little business these past few weeks. I am always so thankful and humbled when people take the time to write about my products. I hope they all know how much I appreciate the boost....boost in sales + my confidence :).
