Annie Kate

Annie Kate was born on 7-11-09 to our good friends Erick and Sandi. I made letters for Annie's nursery and gave them to Sandi at her baby shower at the Olde English Tea Room. Sandi and Erick are wonderful parents and baby Annie Kate gets cuter each time we get to see her.

Established...

I have had several requests for established signs. They are very popular with newlyweds. I actually would love if I had the time to make one for myself and my parents and in-laws. My parents celebrated their 30 year anniversary this past February, and I think it would be nice to have something modern, with their anniversary date on it. One established sign order recently was for a bridal "garden theme" shower. The guest wanted to give something personalized for their garden, so we came up with a sign for them to display on a shepherds hook. Once I find pictures of others ones I've done recently, I'll add them to this post.

Growing like a Giraffe...

I got to meet little, uh-hum, big-boy, Liam a few months ago to give his mom his growth chart. Liam is a precious little boy with to-die-for amazing eyes. Here is a quick pic of his growth chart. It goes along with his nursery, but a little more "grown-up" to be able to make the transition as he climbs the chart!

What comes before the wedding? Well the Bachelorette Party of course! My friends Brittany, Jodie, Shannon, and myself put a little Par-tay together for the bride to be in Wilmington. The girls and I ordered koozies- which have become a standard favor lately. I decided to whip up frames for everyone as well. They turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself.

Wedding in Wilmington

One of my girlfriends from high school got married in April. She had a gorgeous wedding at Landfall in Wilmington, NC. She was a stunning bride and we all had so much fun at the wedding. We rented a beach house with 3 other couples and had a blast! Unfortunatly, the bride's husband is from the UK and currently lives there. So shortly after the wedding, Daniela moved across the Atlantic! I just can't imagine moving that far from my family and friends! I wish Daniela and Bryn the best and hope to see her when she comes home at Christmas.

To the strongest little boy...

A friend contacted me sometime back about doing canvas letters for her son's nursery. The letters turned out gorgeous and so did baby Jacob. Jacob's mom is being a pillar of strength, and I am amazed by her character. She seems so strong and so gracious for all support from the online world. Jacob has been dealt some tough cards, so please keep him and that entire family in your thoughts and prayers. Jacob, keep fighting, you'll be out of the hospital and home before you know it.

Monogram Canvases

Monograms are very popular these days. From luggage and totes to cuff links and necklaces. And now, they've made their way into the nursery. They definitely have a very classic feel to them. I love when people want they baby's monogram displayed, because after all, picking a middle name is equally as difficult and important as deciding on the first.

Most of my canvas monograms are around the 9x12 and 11x14 size. Complete with ribbon to hang. Sizes are up to you, depending on the size of wall and impact you want them to have.
