Merry Christmas to ALL!!!

I know it has been a while since I last posted but I have been kinda busy with CHRISTMAS ORDERS!!  I have had such a great time creating special things for special people!  I haven't posted pictures because I have made several new items but they are Christmas presents so I will post all new pictures after the holidays.

I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season so far and that Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be even more special with the special ones in your life!  ALL of my family are home and I couldn't be happier! God has blessed me with a wonderful, loving husband that supports me in all I do...He has also blessed me with three of the most wonderful children and three precious grandchildren.  I always think next year just couldn't get any better, but I cannot wait to see what 2011 hold for us!!

Don't forget...check back after the holidays for pictures!!!

Merry Christmas and God Bless you ALL!!!

Just a few random things for the week...

First of all, I hope you all had a very blessed Thanksgiving holiday!  I hope you all got to spend it with the ones you love and got plenty of rest for the upcoming Christmas season!  We got our tree up, a few presents bought (yes, my husband loves black-Friday shopping...and was out all night) and are all excited about the holidays with all our family home!!

I just thought I would post a few pictures of a couple of things I have been working on!  I have been a little busy with several orders for gifts and ornaments for trees, but I wanted to just show you a few items you haven't seen yet!

First is another glass block for a very sweet new friend!  I just love the monogram A with the family name in the middle!!!

This is just a set of a few items for a little girls birthday party - a tub, water bottle, pencil case and a set of cards that match.

Everyone loves a cake carrier!!!  I don't this I have posted this before!  People love to take cakes to parties and get togethers so why not take one in style!!  You can have it in any color, any monogram, Alabama, Auburn...oh the designs are endless!!  This Christmas I'll be making a few pie carriers too!  ($10)

A very special friend of mine just adopted a baby and I just had to make her a few personalized items for her nursery!  A wipe case, small hand sanitizer for her purse or the baby's diaper bag, large hand sanitizer for the changing area in the nursery, a picture frame for his room, little blocks for his room, and a clothes hamper/toy tub for his room!  She loved it and I loved making it for her!!!

I hope you all have a GREAT week!  I have a few other items I am working on that's new so check back soon!!!

Just a little something for your car...

I just love personalization!  You can make it just so...so...personal!  When I started this adventure with vinyl, a goal of mine was to make sure that people got what they wanted, in the colors they wanted.  You see, when I saw things I wanted they were always in a color that wasn't my favorite color - which is purple, and my favorite color combination is purple, black and white.  So if you are interested in anything you see on my blog, remember I can always change the colors, the wording, the verses or the artwork to suite your wants and needs.

With that said, I can do the same with car decals!!!  Car decals are just so fun because I think they reflect the person driving the car - fun and whimsical or straight lined!  Check out these car decals and then think about what could be on the back of your car window!! (All decals are $12)

How about a few things for the kiddos!!!

I hope everyone had a GREAT Halloween!!  We are now moving into my favorite time of the year...Thanksgiving and Christmas!  These are my two favorite holidays for two reasons - 1) it's time to give thanks for all God has given me and especially thanks for sending His child for me, and 2) I get to spend time with ALL my family!  My three gifts will all be home and my three blessings will be here too!  Speaking of my three blessings, I thought I would show you a few things I have done for the kids!

A "You Are Special" plate is just the thing for that little one to show them how special they are!  You can use it every day or use it on special occasions - good grades, a good act done at school, completing their chores, etc.  This plate can be personalized with just about any designs ($8). 

Every child needs their own personal wipe case!  AND after they have finished needing the wipes, they can use the case to put their crayons in and put in their bag ($6)!

How about a pencil box/crayon box!  Just make it a little bit more personal with their name and their favorite design ($6)!

 As they get a little older and in school, they might need a pencil box for their backpack!  Now they won't loose their pencils ($5)!

How about a bank?  This is a glass block with a coin slot!  Can't you see this growing with them and when they are ready for college, they can take it with them (large - $18; small - $14).

 Since there will be lots of traveling during the holidays, little ones, and big ones alike, will need to keep there personal items....well, personal!  A personalized soap dish, toothbrush holder and water bottle is just the thing for everyone in the family!  You wouldn't want to use the wrong toothbrush, would you?? :)  (These items can be sold separately or as a set - $3 each.)

And last, but not least, how about a Cookies for Santa plate!! You know your little one loves to leave cookies for Santa and they love it even more to wake up and see the plate empty!  ($10)

Well, that's it for this post!  I hope you all have a GREAT day!!  I think my next post will be a little bling for your car!

How about a few pictures for today...

Thought I would post a few pictures for today!

First we have a large hand sanitizer.  This can be used for your desk, your child's room (you know, after you change that dirty diaper), for a teachers gift, and the list goes on!  A monogram or a fun clip art can be added to make it more personal! (large hand sanitizer - $4)

Everyone loves to have personal touches in their home, so add this soap dispenser to your power room, your bathroom or your kitchen!  When you are done with the soap, don't throw it away, just refill!  You can even make this a little more personal and decorate it for the holidays! (soap - $4)

Spruce up your kitchen sink and take that detergent bottle and throw it away!  Use one of these dish detergent bottles to add a little personalization to your kitchen sink!  (soap dispenser - $8)

And I almost forgot the small hand sanitizer bottle for your purse, your car, your child's backpack or diaper bag!  With cold and flu season coming up, remember these for stocking stuffers!  Not only can you put initials on them, but remember you can add a small clip art or support your favorite team!  (small hand sanitizer - $2)

Have a GREAT day!!!

I have a WINNER!

Well, since I started this blog, I have really had two goals...1) to be myself and 2) have fun with it!  So...with that said I told myself that if I got one follower - just ONE - I would offer them a prize for being first.  SOOO, with THAT said I have offered my friend Robin the item of her choice since she is my first follower!!!  YEA ROBIN!!!  Robin and I have been friends since Junior High School and have lost touch over the years but a couple of years ago we picked up where we left off and I am so blessed to have her back in my life!  If you are ever in Helena, she has a precious coffee shop, called LaReunion, so stop in!  Her food is de-lish!!!!!!!

Have a GREAT day!!

Just a few more pictures for the day...

These are ceramic plates.  This plate can be personalized just for you...a favorite bible verse, a favorite saying, your family name.  The third plate is a "Cookies for Santa" plate that your little one can put cookies on Christmas Eve for Santa to enjoy after he leaves presents under the tree!  (ceramic plate - $10)

Just a few pictures...

I think I have got this "blogging" thing down pretty good so I think I am ready to start posting pictures!  These first few posts of pictures will be picture-heavy but my plan is to post new items as I go.  If you see anything that you are interested in, please e-mail me and I will be happy to design something special for you.  Remember, the sky is the limit...if you see something you like but want it in another color, another saying, or another quote, just call and I'll be happy to make it happen just the way you want.

I hope you like what you see!

Block - as you see I have decorated this lighted block for Christmas but you can use it for anything...night light for a childs room with a sweet saying on the front, light for your foyer with your name on it.  The ideas are endless!  There are multiple sizes of blocks so the price will depend on the size of the block.  (small block - $14; large block - $18)

Christmas Ornaments - whether its for you, your child, a friend or your childrens classmates, ornaments can be personalized..  These are just a few of my ideas...(small ornament - $3; large ornament - $4)

Stay tuned for more pictures!

Pleasant Grove Elementary Fall Festival

Last night I participated in the Pleasant Grove Elementary Fall Festival and it was so much fun!  Not only did they like my designs, but I met some wonderful people!  I also saw an old friend from high school!  The sweet lady I was set up next to invited me to participate in the First Baptist Church Fall Festival in November.  So I have called to schedule that event!  This is just so much fun!

Well, this weekend is a little slow - thank heavens - so  I will spend most of my time on new designs and posting pictures to my blog.  So...stay tuned!
