More Mailbox Decals

I've decided that these are so fun!  My calligraphy made into a decal for a mailbox.  LOVE what these clients did with them!

Song Lyrics

I was recently contacted and challenged to take on this new project.  They asked me to create the lyrics to their song into their names.  It took a while to figure out but the client was thrilled!!!!

The possibilities are endless with this!  Let me know if there is something you would like me to create!

Sanddollars

So very excited about these!

What a great idea!  The possibilities are endless!  These were actually used as favors at a weekend beach retreat.  But they could easily be used for so many different things.  Place cards, party/wedding favors, Christmas Ornaments, etc.

I already have orders for these to be used at a wedding and then turned into Christmas ornaments.  Can't wait to share pics!

Busy Hands.....

I've been at it some more!  Christmas is in full swing here and the custom orders are pouring in...

My client wanted to give each of her friends their favorite scripture verse.  These are all 4 x 6 on natural parchment.  

Always enjoy helping with the romantic gifts......

This is the same Dale Evans quote - just in a different format.  11 x 14 Landscape with Chocolate Brown lettering.  I have had a few orders for it this year - very popular!

Lyrics to "The Gift" on 11 x 14.  Black script - soft and romantic.

Gold script

Still taking a few orders - working them around the wedding invitations.  Let me know if there is something you want custom done.

Christmas is in Full Swing!

It's that time of year again!  Time when I take on both wedding invitations and several more than usual, custom projects for Christmas gifts.

Here's a peek at what I've been up to......

16 x 20 Certificate Fill-ins

19 x 19 Photo Mat with Song lyrics

Gold ink!  Great finishing touch!

Dale Evans Quote a mom found on the wall in the bathroom of Longhorn's!  Going to be framed as a Christmas gift.

Black Script (Anne font)

If you have a special Christmas gift that you would like hand penned - let me know!  My calendar is pretty full through Christmas.

Gift Ideas

My cousin and his wife are having a baby in December and I wanted to do something special for them.  I loved this idea of the baby's name and it's meaning.  This will be a nice touch to their nursery.

I think it was a hit!

Congratulations Amanda and Drew!!!!!

Mother In Law Gift

This is probably one of the most popular pieces that I do.  I found this poem 15 years ago when I married my husband and I did it for my Mother in Law.  It hangs in her bedroom.  I've had brides rewrite it to fit their circumstances and we've done different types of personalization, but it remains number one on the list of inquiries outside of addressing envelopes.

Please contact me for a quote if you are interested.

Chirstmas Projects

I have been extremely busy this week with Christmas orders!  I love this time of year!  I get a little bit of a break from the envelopes and get to do a lot of keepsake items that will be framed and opened on Christmas.  It's very humbling, actually.

Here are a few of the things I worked on this week.

 The entire Chapter of Romans 12 on a 16 x 20 - natural parchment - black script

 Song lyrics - 11 x 14 - natural parchment - black italic

This was a fun family heirloom.  This poem was written by a family member and published in the newspaper in the 1940's - they stumbled across it going through some old papers and wanted me to do so they could frame it.

Its a 16 x 20 - natural parchment - black Italic

Still have some photo mats to work on, and 5 more 11 x 14's.  Poems and scripture verses.  Plus, I am working on two sets of wedding invitations as well!  Busy! Busy!  If you have an idea for Christmas - contact me asap to ensure there is enough time to fill your order!

Christmas Gifts

I'm so excited about these!  I made them for my children for Christmas this year.  I like them so much, I think I will begin advertising them!

Both are done on an 11 x 14 natural parchment and framed to an 18 x 14 frame.  Brown Italic

Bibles - Always the Perfect Gift

I wrote a letter in a Bible today.  The groom is giving it to his bride on their wedding day!  What a wonderful gift!

 Letter on inside

Brides new married name

Congratulations Rachel and Jason!

Marriage Proposal

It's always fun when a creative guy calls me to help him with a marriage proposal!  I worked on 5 different letters this week to help him to get ready to pop the question! 

Each letter was done on a different color parchment and placed in a parchment envelope.

Each envelope was marked and then sealed with a wax seal

And then there is the 8 x 10 marriage proposal itself to be presented at dinner.  

Congratulations Manny & Anna!

Bookmarks

It's always fun to do something a little different.  Last week I worked on 20 bookmarks for a friend to give as gifts.  These are 3" x 5.25" done in black italic on natural paper.  She had them laminated and put the ribbon through them.  Thanks Sally, for allowing me to help.  I hope they are used and treasured by your ladies.

Celebrating 50 Years

I just absolutely love being a part of family keepsakes.  This bride contacted me to put the finishing touches on her wedding picture.  I was so excited and thought it turned out great!

I have to tell you that the bride hasn't changed a bit!  As soon as she put the photo in front of me, I knew it was her!  I hope I can look that great after 50 years!  Congratulations John & Babs!  Here's to many more years together......
