Precious Little Girl

When my friend Val and I were little, our mom's were in a playgroup together. So our moms, plus two other ladies that were in the playgroup, went to visit Val and Jayda last night. This has been the first time I have seen Jayda since our visit in the hospital 2 weeks ago. My mom is holding her right in the picture below. Look how precious and content she is. Unfortunately, this was the only time that she was content for the rest of the night. Poor Val and Brent were in for a long night after I left around 9:00.

I had made the book below for Val and Brent called "12" months, "12" moments. It is a book for them to fill in with pictures of each month of Jayda's first year. I got this idea from cousin Patty when she made a book similiar to this for her daughter Sarah. So I tweeked her idea a bit and made it a theme of Baby's first year picture book. I thought it would be a perfect gift for my friends that are having babies. (Sorry Patty, I looked through your archives on your blog to link it to your page, but I coulnd't find it!)

Trick or Treat...

smell my feet....I was singing that song the whole time I was making this card. I bet you are singing it now too!

I had just added this fun googly-eyed pumpkin card to my Etsy store this morning. There is another one that looks just like it, except that it says "Happy Halloween" on it.

Come and visit my store...and remember, there is FREE shipping for the month of September. Time is running out!

Meet Jayda Grace Rutherford!

We all have been waiting for this baby to arrive! My friends, Val and Brent, have been trying several years to have a baby, and now their dreams came true! Baby Jayda was born on Wednesday September 16th, 2009 at 5:51 pm. She was 8 1/2 Ibs, and 18" long. Val's belly must have been all baby!

I got to meet the new proud parents and baby Jayda last night at the hospital. I got to hold a 12-hour old baby! That was so exciting! She is perfect. I am so happy for Val and Brent. They are so happy that this day finally arrived!

I am planning on visiting them again on Sunday, so I hope to have more pictures to share!

Moving Announcement!

Oh, it's not me who is moving.....I just added these cool moving announcements to my Etsy store!

Just moved? Let your friends and family know in style with these custom postcard style cards! A moving announcement is an easy way to notify people about your change of address without having to call each of them individually. The simple and charming style of this design will delight both family, friends and co-workers.

This would be a great gift for a house warming gift too! I just made myself a whole bunch of these to give to my brother and his fiance for their new home. They loved them!

Just added!

I just added these cool thank you cards to my Etsy store today! I am selling them as a set of 6. Click here to visit my store and for more details about them!

I also want to update you and let you know that I have deleted my store on ShopHandmade.com. I found it very hard to use, and I didn't have a lot of views on my cards. Not only that, it is very hard to keep my Etsy store up to date and active as is, so having two different locations is just very difficult to maintain.

Stay tuned for more cards! I have something in the works right now and I can't wait to share it!

NEW STUFF!

There is some new stuff on my Etsy store!

First, I need to thank my cousin's wife Patty, who is just sooo talented and creative by-the-way, because she created my new banner and logo for my Etsy store. The name of my store is "Remember Me Design's" and she created my banner to have to forget-me-not flowers in it.....love it! My favorite thing is the fact that she added something that is special to her. The background is from a dress that she wore as a baby. How cool is that?

Secondly, I have added some new cards to my store. I am going to "try" to keep adding new things, but things are so busy right now that I don't have time to sit at my scrapbooking table to be able to create. But like I said...I am going to try.

Stay tuned for some pictures of Aruba, and some more cards!
