A new season is around the bend...

Fall is near, my friends...how exciting is that?! Some days in Nashville it feels like Fall, then other days Summer lingers for a bit. I am READY for a new season! Bring on the coats & scarves...can't wait!

So...our family took a little visit to Arrington Vineyards this weekend and enjoyed it immensely! I took some photos of Noah, who is just becoming more and more funny in front of the camera. Still doesn't sit still for a second, but there are moments I manage to capture the sweet smile he graces us with daily. He is just too precious!

I designed a collage of my photos from this weekend using some new photo frames I'm creating for the BSD shop! After creating them for a couple of photographers, I decided to come up with a little kit of my own. And, that kit will be available to YOU soon! If you enjoy taking photos and want an easy & pretty way to display them, these are perfect. I'll be including some easy instructions w/ the kit, too. Anyhoo, just wanted to give a sneak peek and share our little story from this weekend at the vineyard. Have an awesome week, friends!! xx

Butterfly Whimsy.

Bloggity Blog Blog Fun.

I'm on a blog design mission! Lately, I've been getting a lot of requests to create blog headers & sites, so it's been really fun! Here are a couple to show...more later!

 

 

Have kiddos? Check out this fun idea!

I was on CookieMag.com this morning and saw the cutest idea that I can't wait to do myself. I LOVE when kids say funny/random stuff...it brings a huge smile to my face. I'm always telling my husband how I can't wait to hear all the goofy things that are going to come out of our sons mouth when he begins to talk. So, needless to say, when I saw THIS I thought it was a brilliant idea. Find a vintage jar and jot down the silly things that they say right then & there so you don't forget. It will be fantastic to read a few at their wedding...just kidding...well, maybe... ;) 

New blog header designs...more to come!

 

I heart this place!

I just got the best email! That my FAVORITE paper store, Paper Source, is open in my hometown! I am obsessed with this place...love, love, L-O-V-E it! The store carries the best quality paper, their cards are really cute & the site always offers fun, creative ideas for the holidays. I use this paper to create my own birthday/thank you cards and our Christmas cards. I definitely have this store on my list for the next time we visit! Be sure to check out their website and if you live in Dallas, don't miss this amazing little place the next time you go shopping!

Embrace Grace

A ministry created for single, pregnant women who need mentoring, encouragement & just other ladies they can depend on to walk with them through the journey of pregnancy...and preparing them for the life to come! My friend Amy & Salina (who I just recently met...she is SO sweet) are joining together with a pregnancy resource center in Grapevine, TX to mentor these women who decide to keep their babies. I just LOVE what they're doing, I love their hearts behind this & only wish I could be there to join the meetings! Here's a logo & card I designed for them. Embrace Grace is the name...they want these women to realize that they may be pregnant under the wrong circumstances, but God is FULL of grace and love! How powerful & amazing is that?! Awesome.

New blog design for a new friend...

Alyse is such a fun client...chipper, knows what she wants & just as sweet as can be! Here's a blog design I created for her. Be sure to check out her blog for inspiring & funny posts! :) http://alysekrause.typepad.com/

    

 

Happiness is.

I couldn't help but share the cuteness w/ my BSD pals! ;)

HAPPY LABOR DAY!
