New Birth Announcement

Happy to share this cute project that I recently finished. 

The client provided the poem and we worked together to bring it to life 

for the birth announcement of her baby arriving in December. 

And... Im back!

After five days in Sunny California with the cutest little face in the world, returning to 

work is proving to be a bit more difficult than usual. Let's talk about California for a 

minute. SO, I live in Maryland, and I consider it to be a pretty hip state with lots of 

coolness to offer... But have you been to California? There is so much coolness there. 

I am talking, smoothies with spinach, fresh markets everywhere, surfers and barrels of 

candy! Vintage, Retro, Contemporary... California was filled with all of it. 

And that cutie new nephew of mine! Oddly enough, we arrived during a cloudy spell 

(apparently the marine layer was out of control) so we didn't get too much sun while we 

were out there. BUT that just gave us the opportunity to swoon over the newest, 

most awesome member of our family. 

We became best friends pretty quick. My sister is a natural mother and Cole is totally 

in love with his mom and dad. Can you blame him?

I became an Aunt and my heart bursted

In the wee small hours of Sunday Morning, I became an Aunt, for the very first time. 

My Sister had her first baby, in California while I  a.n.x.i.o.u.s.l.y waited in Maryland for

word of his arrival.  He is Beautiful and tiny and so wrinkly he actually looks wise; like he 

has years of knowledge on me and I need to hit the books before I go out there so I am 

not out smarted by this adorable tiny wrinkly little face that looks so peaceful and perfect. 

My heart keeps welling up inside with sheer love. I bounce back and forth between 

feeling excitement for my sister and her husband who are over the moon for their 

new baby boy, I know their hearts grew a hundred times when they saw his face.  

And I'm gushing over the idea that there is a new little man in our lives that we are 

all going to laugh with and love and watch grow. And he is going to get hair cuts and

 build blocks and loose teeth and have adorable innocent moments that will make me melt. 

I am flying out to join my sister and her husband and meet Cole for the first time on 

Thursday. I can not wait to see that tiny face. Congratulations to my sister and her 

husband ~ xox you guys are going to be wonderful parents. 

Thanks Bippity Boppity Boo for the adorable photo

Boy or Girl in Seven Weeks...

Boy or Girl?

So I just heard about this blood test that you can 

take as early as 7 weeks pregnant to learn whether

 you are having a boy or a girl...wow. 

They are no bigger than a blueberry at that age.

I feel like we just leapt into the future. zing.

I think I like surprises way too much to find out...

but I guess I'll never really know until I am 

faced with having to make the decision one day.

Who knows where technology will be by than! 

So what are your thoughts? 

Would you or Wouldn't you.
