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!

New Wedding Albums

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!

Check out my etsy shop for more custom albums and guest books

Custom Damask Wedding Guest Books

I'm now offering custom damask wedding albums/guest books in my etsy shop. For a simple and classic look, combine any style black and white damask with your wedding colors.

Fall Already?

In the custom order world, fall is closer than it seems! Here is a fall album I had the opportunity to create for another wonderful etsy customer.

This guest book has a brown silk with damask cut velvet pattern placed over an orange dupioni silk. To top off the fall colors of this album, it displays a simple orange satin ribbon on the front and is bound together with a reddish brown organza ribbon. The personalized monogram on the front has a watermarked lily in the background and is printed on a combination of shimmery fall colored cardstocks.

I love the texture and colors of this album, pictures just don't seem to do it justice. I can't wait to see what other custom orders fall weddings will bring.

Boys are fun too!

As much fun as I have with the girly albums, I'd have to say boys are pretty fun too! Here is an album for a little boy that I had a blast creating!

I just love this 'disco dot' print by Michael Miller chosen by an etsy customer!

Finally Girly

As the mother of three boys...very sweet little guys, but definitely boys....I'm so excited that I'm going to have another niece!

When I discovered the room would be done in 'raspberry swirl' the instant excitment I felt made me realize I'm a little more girly than I had thought! So needless to say, the girlyness within me couldn't help but escape into another photo album.

This one is for a very special little girl!
