Happy Mother's Day!

Sunday is Mother's Day. {Hi Mom}

What special something are you doing for your mom to celebrate how wonderful she is?

My younger sister and I have decided to collaborate on a meal together. I think it is going to be a light pasta and shrimp dish with some fresh veggies tossed in a light lemon and olive oil sauce... yum. 

My little sister and my mom showin' some love {xox}

Happy Mother's Day Mom. You are Amazing. And I love You. 

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.

Save the Date Postcards

I worked with some friends of mine to create these special Save the Dates. 

The water colors were all original and since they were getting married in the fall we chose fall "fruits"

It was the brides idea to use the fall items in the shape of the numbers for the dates...

what a clever girl.

TIP:

Choosing a post card option is a simple and inexpensive way to send your save the dates. 

Often your Envelopes and stamps are the bulk of the cost and to cut them out completely takes a great burden from the total. 

Pretty Awesome Paper Flower Bouquets.

I have always thought fresh flowers provided a specific special something that oozed delightfulness. 

But what do you think about paper flower bouquets? They never die, droop or fade. 

And look how exquisite One Happy Girl from etsy can custom make them.

How lovely. I think I am still a fresh flower girl, but imagine an indoor crafty wedding with lots of paper flowers everywhere and pennant banners and adorableness spread everywhere. Can you see it?

I think I could get into that. 

Letterhead design

Its been fun working with Real Estate, agent Karol Hess. 

We have worked on quite a few projects together for both her business promotion and personal pleasure. 

Above is the letter head design I created for her, she calls herself Karol with a "K" thus explaining the giant K. And it just so happens to mesh nicely with the fact that she works for Keller Williams.

What do you think?

We also used the same illustration in her business card design and she was able to utilize her illustration in an advertisement as well. Way to go Karol!

a dose of L-O-V-E

“…a purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved” – Kurt Vonnegut (Cat’s Cradle)

Because we all need a little sometimes...

Kind of a good idea...

I am always squirreling away ideas for a wedding if one should ever pop up and don't you just LOVE this one? Dave and I have always just assumed we would get hitched by the water, 

wouldn't these add a nice glow to the nights dreamy adventure!?

Vacation!

Dreaming of a vacation. I think a trip to Colmar, France would do me just fine. 

Look at the color of those houses and that sky... oh take me there!
