IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY (for a huge discount!)



Are you busy enjoying the last bits of summer? Us too! While at the beach, be sure to bring your camera along because it's a great time to snap that Christmas card photo! Yes, I said Christmas, but I'm not trying to rush things - I promise. It's just that the beach is the perfect setting for a photo of your family. 


Think about it: the beautiful open sky, fresh happy faces from the salty ocean air, everyone is relaxed and content. 


Or, have you already taken your family vacation? Well you just may have the perfect shot to make a beautiful holiday card that will also let your family and friends know what you've been up to this year. Sort through all those vacation photos now and look at them with a critical eye. Remember that cropping and touch-ups can be a quick and easy way to turn a great family memory into a beautiful card. But don't worry about the touch ups yourself, we take care of all of that for you!


So start thinking about that holiday card photo now and you'll be able to kick back relaxed and satisfied that you've already got one holiday task crossed off that list. A major stress completely eliminated - Woot!

{one of my favorites from Holiday 2008}

And the best part? (other than avoiding at least a bit of the holiday insanity) If you order your cards on or before September 15th, you'll receive 50% off your entire holiday card order! (offer cannot be combined with quantity discounts, but never fear, the quantity discounts cannot compare to this offer!) We have never before offered a discount of this magnitude; you definitely do not want to miss it. Simply email me here before ordering and a custom order will be set up in the shop reflecting your discount.

To view a small sampling of our holiday card selection, go here. Tons of new designs will be added during the course of this promotion so if you don't see anything that suits your style, not to worry. I'll be happy to give you an advance preview of all designs. In fact, many cards will be custom designed around the photos submitted by early birds like yourself!

FARMHOUSE WARES



I've been coveting these individual cupcake stands from Farmhouse Wares for quite some time now. Frankly, I'm not quite sure how I've been able to resist. Currently out of stock (obviously others do not have my willpower - lucky ducks!),  so I can rest easy from temptation for a bit. Fingers crossed that they're back in stock in time for my birthday.

P.S. Have you noticed that I've been posting some client proofs here? It has proven to be a quick and easy reference for all involved. Please let me know if it becomes too much of a bother and I'll stop.
