With summer approaching, I wanted to hold a special pre-summer sale {and promote my new stationery line}!

Through Friday, June 5th, all my prints are on sale!

All stationery is just $15 instead of $25
Address labels are $10 instead of $15
Invites & Announcements are just $25 instead of $35

Be sure to become a follower of this blog for updates on sales & giveaways. I am planning some 24-48 hour specials soon, so keep checking back.

I chose one winner from the raffle and one from the post asking for your thoughts on my blog buttons. Thank you all for your advice. I do think I need to keep playing around with the design. Surprised? ;)

Ladies, please email me and let me know what print you would like to order.

I wanted to thank those of you who commented on my last post featuring two different design options. Of course, being me, I went with something completely different.

So, what do you think of the new look?

I may have been playing around with the idea of a new design. Yes, this site had 2 new designs in the past week :) Remember, I never commit to a design and like to mix it up in my free time. There is nothing wrong with showing a little versatility.

I don't have plans to change my blog quite yet, but would like something new within the month, and am brainstorming ideas.

Anyway! I was just wondering... if you had to pick, what do you like more?

Option 1


Option 2


This is not a final version of what it would look like, but I am wondering what you think of the idea of something like this?

I am taking the long weekend off (yet here I sit at 1am working on my blog). I am truly stepping away after I hit publish post. Really.

I hope you all enjoy the long weekend! Bye for now :)

Many of you may know that up until now, I offered a variety of blog packages. I would get so many emails from people so confused about what to order. And guess what? Even I didn't have my packages straight. Not great considering that I do this all day long.

To make things easier, I am now offering the standard and deluxe packages. The standard (formerly the basic) and the deluxe (formerly the standard) are great blogs on their own, and are also great starting off points to a more "bells and whistles" type of blog.

Previously, the grand (for example) gave you up to 10 sidebar embellishments. But what if you just want 3 titles and 2 framed photos? Or what if you wanted a nav bar but not a blog button? My packages did not really allow you to create what would be ideal for you. Becuase this is such a personal business, involving working one on one with me to create something important for you, I want everyone to get exactly what they want.

So now, all my extras are purchased a la carte, and they are available for any packages that I offer. If you just want one sidebar photo framed, you've got it. If you want a blog button and 6 sidebar titles, they're all yours. I think that in the end this will make this experience much easier for everyone. :)

And if you are interested in my blog websites, don't you worry. I will still be offering those.

So what do you think? I was thinking of still offering a package with "the works" but love the whole "build a blog" idea. Sorry for all the parenthesis and quotes.

I have been working on my stationery line, and will continue to work on adding new prints each week. Take a look to see my latest designs.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway to win a free stationery print of your choice! Read the post below to see how you can enter to win!

What do you all think of my new designs?

Some of you may have seen that I have been working on my new stationery line. I am so excited to offer my very first giveaway, and plan to hold a few more as I come out with new designs. I will be giving away the stationery print of your choice (personal or children's stationery), and will upload it to an online printer to be printed, or you are welcome to have it printed by a local printer.

The winner will just place the order and pay for the printing (which is very reasonable!). But the design is completely free! That's a $25 value!

My new personal favorite. I love this one, and think I'm going to have to order it for myself.

I have received feedback from the people that have placed orders for my stationery, and they have all loved it! I am so excited about this, because this is something I have always wanted to do, and I have had so much fun creating this new line!

Keep checking back for new prints, and a whole new line of mommy cards, address labels, and much more!

Take a look at the receipt I just received from Paypal for the donation to New Day's formula project! Not bad! :)


And, let's not forget that someone purchased a $300 one year sponsorship. So, that is $600 raised in just one week! I was hoping for $200 and dreaming of $500. Amazing!

On to the winner...Jessica, number #89. Congratulations, Jessica!
