Ooh La La

I just couldn't pass up this vintage french poodle fabric salvaged from an old curtain panel

It's just so bizarre and WONDERFUL!

...and of course, I knew right away, there was a new album design in my future!

Wedding Accessories

It seems my customers are always keep me from becoming stagnant, even if I try! Many thanks to all of these wonderful customers and their great ideas!

After several requests for wedding accessories, I've finally started a new line of wedding sets. Guest book pens, ring bearer pillows, flower girl baskets, and garter sets are all new items I can create to coordinate with your wedding colors/style. Just as with my guest books and albums, there is no limit to customizing. Choose any fabrics and ribbon or even coordinate them with your guest book!

Albums Aside

Next to albums, decorating is my next favorite hobby, especially my kids' rooms! When it comes to their rooms, they seem to change faster than my kids. I'm really excited about a much needed new web site created by a fellow flickr fan and even more excited that she so kindly featured my Jungle Room mural I painted two themes ago!

Her web site is dedicated to "cool kids' rooms" I only wish I had this site to look at for great ideas five themes ago!

So...looking for fun kid room ideas? Check out her website here and while you're there, take a peek at my 'Jungle Room'

Out of My Element

Feeling a little frazzled and out of my element this past week!
The good news is... I have a new web site up and running...still couldn't tell you how it happened!

I have a whole new appreciation for web designers!!

Stop by here and check it out!

Just a few more custom wedding albums/guest books for more wonderful etsy customers! Does anyone else love etsy as much as I do?!!

Amanda's Sage and Butter Yellow wedding is so beautifully classic for a spring wedding

Lesley's color combination makes me feel like I've had a refreshing drink of lemonade...just as she described! Definitely one of my favs!

I love Johanna's cool crisp version of fall

......and oh my goodness Audrey! I can't get over this striking color combination, I wish I could do my wedding over again just to have these colors!!

I just can't get over how much I enjoy working with the brides on these guest books...custom handcrafted work has such a wonderful way of bringing individuality and working relationships back into the product!
