and, since we're talkin' gifts...you've bought all yours, haven't you? ugh, don't tell me - i haven't bought one darn thing. and, i need to start, so they'll get here on time! maybe those crazies who finish shopping in july are onto something. who'm i kidding? never gonna happen. ok, we were talking about gifts, so...

custom photo desk calendars

the online workshop (aka etsy shop)

and, if you don't see something here, but you've got it in your mind, let's have a little chat about it.

happy holidays! merry christmas! happy new year! feliz navidad! happy hanukkah! season's greetings! whatever you celebrate!

it's beginning to look alot like...

i'm gonna let you in on a little secret...nuthin' lights a fire under my patootie faster than house guests. it maybe might be the only time i clean, but i'm not tellin'. after our "family" of 12 thanksgiving dinner, some dear (cheesy word, but packs a punch) college friends paid us a visit.

so, that meant the decor had to go from this:

to this in less than 12 hours.

but, i thrive on a challenge, and that was the fastest decorated tree on the planet, i'm sure.

so, yes, it is beginning to look alot like christmas around here. tree's up. outside lights are up. and, designs are flying out of the workshop. and, this little elf is feeling so, so blessed. y'all bring a tear to my eye every time the email bell dings. the support is overwhelming - thank you will never be enough.

let's see what's brewin' this year, shall we? you've got your humorous

you've got your adorable pictures

moving announcements

party invites

and, the corporate persuasion

that enough to get your creative juices flowing? need more inspiration? order up - it's less than a month 'til christmas. i know. I KNOW!

The Happiest Season of All

So, how many of you ate your way through last week like I did? Anyone... Anyone? We went back to New Mexico, so of course had to eat all the things you can't get in the Pacific Northwest. Like delicious burritos, green chile, brisket, good Mexican food, and the list goes on.

But, I digress - that's not the reason for this post.

The reason for this post is that it's DECEMBER 1ST!! Did you hear me? Christmas is in, oh, 24 days. YIKES! I haven't even started shopping, much less thinking about wrapping presents so I can get them in the mail in time for the big day.  I see a lot of sleepless nights coming my way. At least I remembered to turn on the Christmas music playlist!

Well, if you haven't ordered your Holiday cards yet, not sure what you're waiting for! Deadline to order for Christmas is December 18th, so let me know what I can do for you soon.


Here's a little taste of what's chugging out of the workshop. Good stuff, people. Good stuff!

Tired of Evite?

I cannot believe it's already October! Even though I'm very sad to see the beautiful Seattle summer we had go, October means the holidays are coming, and there are a few things I look forward to, like:

     Pumpkin Spice anything
     The leaves changing
     Sweaters!
     Twinkle lights throughout Downtown Seattle
     Parties! 
       Pumpkin Carving parties. Halloween parties. 
       Thanksgiving parties. Holiday parties. 
       Trimming the tree parties. 
       Parties just because parties.  
       Phew - can you tell I love a party?

Well, speaking of parties, if you're hosting one, maybe this year you want to send a fabulous invitation via the good old-fashioned mail. Maybe? Instead of stalking Evite and fretting that people have viewed your invite, but not replied, why not set the mood with a lovely piece of stationary?

Let's have a little chat! We can create the perfect invite for your pumpkin carving, holiday, because it's wednesday party. I can't wait!

The only question I have is, Am I invited? That's ok, you don't have to tell me today.
