I am back and facing a very busy couple of weeks. My FIL is here from MN and we are planning the little's 4th birthday in addition to her first day of preschool! Wait! Wasn't it just 2 month ago that I brought her home from the hospital?! I can't believe it.
As I may have mentioned before she will be going to a cooperative pre-school so that means the parents have to work. I jumped in with both feet and am on the executive board as the co-chair of fundraising along with another "Heather." Its been cool to meet some other parents but I have other "work" to do to get ready for the beginning of school as well.
I have been busy in both my studio and on my computer. My latest completed job has been this yummy banner for Karla who I designed an Etsy banner for earlier on.
I just adore Karla's mix of shabby, vintage with brighter colors and I am rally glad she let me go a bit brighter from the "pastel, light colors" she originally wanted. I think this really fits her and her work and am pleased she likes it.
I am delighted to be working with my new pal Jeanne on a new look for her blog and business. Jeanne let me start with a pretty blank slate which is kind of refreshing. We are closing in on some final decisions so I will be able to share her new goodies soon! I love them.

You look like you two had a wonderful time! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThe littles grow fast, don't they? One day you'll turn around and she'll be twenty. On my baby's first day of day care, I walked around the block -- then went back to pick her up -- the day care said to go to the library and read a book. She still remembers (and talks about)her wonderful pre-school teachers. Don't worry -- she'll aways love you most.
Your scrapbook page is so well-put together...lovely

I love the 7 Gables! We had our honeymoon at the Martin' Inn just down the street (on the way to Cannery Row). Beautiful view of the ocean from every room. This area is magical! Glad you had a good time!
