happy christmas y'all!

It’s snuck up on me again.

Already received the first one in the mail!

The traditional family Christmas card, that is :)

Oh yes – since little tutu has come along, I have been on the personalized, photo-mania Christmas card wagon & this year shall be no different!

Is it this big a decision for everyone as it is for me?? I like our card to at least have a hint of our family (you know, besides that ga-jillion pics I’ll put on it) – I like them to be ‘our style’ if you will.

So, I’m branching out of my ‘usual resources’ this year & am heading over to Shutterfly!

And so far… I like what I see!!

I’m LOVING this christmas card & the fab zig-zags (did I mention this is on paper stationery?? LLUUURRVVEEE!) :

I think this card is so adorable, as well! Love those bright colors! This one is on photo paper, too, so it's nice & shiny :)

...and since NEXT year, we’ll be really settled here in the new house – we’re totally going to throw a holiday party (don’t worry, the hubs doesn’t read my blog :) however, I will refer to this particular post when I bust out the ‘but I totally told you last year!’) can’t decide if it will be ugly sweater, cookie swap, or just an excuse to have a shin-dig – but I’m liking this invite none-the-less :

All these possibilities get me so excited to make our family card this year! I've already been over to Shutterfly & pilfered around with some of the cards - adding pics & cropping & editing...
yep, that is officially what i'll be doing this weekend :)
Now if only i could find a card that read 'HAPPY CHRISTMAS, Y'ALL!'... ahhh - perfection.


{and shutterfly is so awesome, they are giving me 50 free holiday cards just for gushing about how great they are... like that was hard! :) }

monday - november 15th is THE DAY.

hello?

hello??

is anybody still there???

{insert heavy sigh here}

i feel like the biggest blog slacker EVER.

i blame moving - not the extended stay in manhattan - MOOOVVVVING.

we have entirely too much stuff.

i am thisfar from putting it all out by the road with a sign that says 'FREE!'...

people around these parts really dig that kind of stuff.

pretty sure they'd dub me their Queen.

i digress...

i have SO MANY pics to get caught up on it's ridiculous - but I WILL because you just HAVE to see the cuteness that so many have requested!!! seriously. beyond cuteness. there are some pretty stylin' little ones out there if i do say so myself ;)

which leads me to my next topic - christmas.

oh yes - after i get through NOVEMBER in which we celebrate THANKSGIVING - i will be focusing on christmas - and not a day sooner! ;)

however, MONDAY - NOVEMBER 15TH will be the deadline to get your orders in for christmas! so if you're wanting some sweet tc&c goodies under your tree, please let me know by then!

now - i'm off to see how many more things we can really fit in this place...

if you see a sign on the side of the road that says 15 miles to the love shack  FREE STUFF! you'll know i've finished unpacking ;)

hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend!!!!

well, it's got blue on it.

oh yes. i made a panther shirt for a customer. yes, it did almost kill me in the process, but i aim to please - even if it means making things for opposing teams!! HAHA!

* this shirt has a big panther paw prin in blue & white on the back - i couldn't get it to upload properly! *

for those of you not familiar with HS football around my part - the panthers & the eagles are BIG TIME rivals!! 

needless to say - i'm an eagle through & through ;) don't get used to seeing too much blue on here - hahah!!!

hope you love it, a.!! ;)

 

So, if you’ve been around the blog-world at all lately - then I’m sure you’ve heard of Pear Tree Greetings!

I am proud to announce that I have recently become a Pearista myself & cannot wait to share all their fab goodies with y’all!!

Want to win some awesome freebies for yourself?!

Jump over to my ‘behind the seams…’ blog & check it out!

what's that? i've been a little MIA...

 if you have sent me any type of correspondence recently & i have yet to reply, please forgive me as i have just returned from my 'home-away-from-home' & will be catching up on e-mails, facebook messages, phone calls & voicemails over the weekend!

thanks so much!

pretty pretty pumpkin

perfect for upcoming trips to the pumpkin patch!!

we are SO EXCITED fall has finally arrived in our neck of the woods :)

happy monday, y'all!!

it's official ::

the wait list has returned!

due to some personal responsibilities/priorities i have going on right now and the overwhelming support from my fabulous clientele, i am having to resort back to the wonderful wait list ;)

please be patient with me in the coming weeks, as i will only be able to fill orders as time allows.

if we have already spoken about your order, don't worry - i already have it scheduled and it will be completed in the time frame we've discussed!

as of today - i am operating on a 3 week turnaround for all new orders.

{keep in mind this is subject to change once things return to normal around here}

so, if you are thinking about placing an order - please do not hesitate! i will need as much time as possible to complete orders and get them out in a timely fashion.

please feel free to e-mail me if you'd like - i'll be happy to answer any questions or concerns as best i can!

thank you all so much for your support and patronage - i truly could not do this without all of you!

and since blogger is awesome & allows me to schedule posts - keep checking back to see pics of all the goodies i've been working on & new designs for Fall & Christmas as well!
