Introducing...

I am excited to reveal my new collection....

The Hunter Collection

I designed these for my new baby second cousin. My cousin April and her boyfriend Andrew welcomed Hunter into the world on October 30th. He is such a cutie patootie. The first piece in the collection is the Baby Shower Invitation. This invite is sure to impress your guests and get them in the baby mood with it's baby blue diaper complete with a diaper pin.





The next piece is the Announcement. Let everyone know your bundle of joy is here, especially the family out of town. They will rave about how cute the photos of the new addition is hanging on the clothesline with clothespin embellishments.



Both of these pieces will be cherished for many years to come. And of course, they can be adjusted for a new little princess too! As always, I am open to making your design your very own.

Congrats April and Andrew!

Let me know what ya'll think!

NAS Air Show 2008

Jack and I went to the air show at NAS Jax and let me tell you about our experience. We went Sunday afternoon. We figured we'd be get there just in time for the Blue Angels because we didn't want to stay the whole day. Boy, was that a mistake. After sitting on the Buckman Bridge for 45 minutes we finally made it into the gate. We parked and started walking and walking and walking. We finally get to a parking lot and then they tell us they weren't letting anybody else in because the Blue Angels were about to start. What? So we kinda hang out in the parking lot along the runway for a few minutes along with everybody else. Then we hear that we can get into the other gate but we have to walk around. They closed the one we were at because it was the staging area. So we proceed to walk around to the other gate. About 3 miles later we finally get there. At this point I am so exhausted I feel like I was going to pass out. Why they had to put the staging area between a parking lot with the no food, water or bathrooms and the gate is beyond me. But I wasn't the only happy camper. Let me add that while we are hiking our way to the gate the Blue Angels are doing there thing so we got to see what we could through the buildings. We did catch the tail end of the show and got a few good pics. After our oohs and aahs we walked around and looked at all the air crafts and then it was time to head on back. I thought I was going to die!!!!! I swear it was like 10 miles. Did I mention I had flip flops on and the sun was beaming right on down my forehead! Of course Jack just seemed all fine and dandy. I guess that shows you who works in the heat all day and who sits at a desk and types blogs. lol. By the time we got back to the car I latterly fell into it. I told Jack that I better had lost 10 pounds with all this walking but noooo not a darn pound. Errr. So that it my experience at the base. It definitely wasn't as good as the last visit about 9 years ago. But that's another story for another day...maybe. ;)

Here's a few of the pics we got.







I love this shot!

The Baby Patchwork

I made this card for my cousin April for her baby shower. She recently had Hunter and he is such a little cutie! Stay tuned for "The Hunter Collection."

Better late than never!

I have been so super busy that I haven't had much time to post all the things that I've been wanting to. Well Roxy had her first birthday on October 15th and of course Jack and I had to do a little something special for out baby girl! And of course I had to make her a card! We also bought her a doggie birthday cake. I found The Gourmet Dog online in my search for dog friendly birthday cakes. And then I realized I saw them at a craft show not to far back. Roxy loved her cake. It was so cute with the little pink writing on it. And the box, oh how I adored the box! And Roxy had fun opening it too. Oh, and did I mention that they are local to Jacksonville and they delivered right to my work! How awesome is that! Well here is the pic of the card and a few of Roxy with it and her cake. If you have a furry friend that has a birthday coming up, you most definitely have to order a card from me and a cake from The Gourmet Dog!
