Party Animals

it's party time around these parts again, and i've been whipping up birthday invitations. then, as i was getting them all packaged up and photographed, i noticed a theme! they all have cute little animals on them! (thank goodness for easy blog post titles!)

we've got safari animals

jungle animals

and owls

and, i remembered this design. not really animals, but i think it fits into the theme loosely. mama drew these cute bugs and had me use them on the invite.

if you've got a party animal celebrating a birthday soon, give me a shout! and stay tuned next week, cause i'll show you some ideas to go along with invitations.

oh my!

Easter Greetings

i got an email from a new client who wanted to do holiday cards, but wanted to save them for a different holiday...easter. isn't that a great idea? you still get your annual card out, but you're not competing for fridge space with all the christmas and new year's cards. genius!

so, if you missed out on christmas, new year's, valentine's, st. patty's day, here's your chance to send out a card to all your nearest and dearest. whether you celebrate easter, or just want to use it as a way to ring in spring, let's chat.

she wanted bright colors and a place to add a "what's been goin' on" letter. we added a scripture perfect for the occasion, and voila. it doesn't hurt that the little munchkin with her green tennies is so darn adorable!

so, you interested?? yes? come talk to me.

Just Because

a few weeks ago, when mr. man met me at the airport after an impromptu family "vacation", he presented me with a bouquet of tulips. just because. just because he missed me. (cookin' his dindin, i'll bet) isn't that the sweetest thing you ever done heard?

my little tulips brightened my desk until monday. and, with the blustery, icky, why-do-i-live-here-again weather we've been having, i needed them. funny what 10 little flowers will do to the spirit, huh?

mr. man's off on an impromptu family vacation now, and i'm thinkin', thinkin' what to present him with when i pick him up. just because. cause flowers just don't work for the mens, am i right?

so, tell me, what's the latest thing you've gotten just because?

Spring is in the Air(waves)

i was gonna make an april fool's playlist, but decided since y'all loooove listening to them all month, it woulda been a throw away playlist. you're welcome.

i'm getting better at this finding music stuff, but you know the drill - you got a song i need to know about? send it my way. i'm lookin' at you, baby sister. little stinker's been keepin' the goods to herself.

and, just for you (my 3 readers), i put all the playlists over there to the right, so you can clickety click to any month you choose. so, without further ado:
