Photo Albums

Aside from the burp cloths, this is probably my bestselling item. They make a perfect gift...especially for a wedding or baby shower.

I wanted a monogrammed, covered baby book but didn't wanna spend $100+. The first covered book I made was Avie's baby book (3 years ago!) and I've been making them ever since! I make wedding albums (large scrapbook size) and baby books for $50. The smaller, photo albums are $30 and can be done with any color/print fabric, ribbon, and monogram.

A girl picked up my business card at one of our Christmas shows and called me to make a few Christmas gifts. (photo below)

My cousin/former roomie, Holly, welcomed her first child 4 weeks ago today! Just wanted to share some of the things I monogrammed for sweet baby G!

Burp Cloths



Onesie 


Frames


Wipee Box
(this is a MUST-HAVE! I have like 3! You put one in your car, one in the diaper bag, and one in your purse!)


...just some extras


Hooded Towel


Receiving/Swaddling Blankets


BIBS!
Holly's favorite holiday is Halloween so I had to throw a Halloween bib in there!
I think my fav is the taggie zebra one I made...babies LOVE tags!


A fluffy, snuggly, cozy, soft blanket!
(In Fargo, ND...I think Baby G will need this!)

Cute appliqued tees and apron...

My friend Kara wanted some appliqued tees for her little boy in fall-ish colors. I loved the way they turned out. Since his name is short, I could do much larger letters.

Appliqued tee for baby or toddler $15




And another friend, Mandy (one of my most valued customers!), had these done for her baby boy, Brooks. She bought the onesies and I appliqued/monogrammed them.

The charge to do this when you provide the shirt is $10

(excuse the poor photo quality...I took these in my car)



Mandy's sister-in-law ordered this monogrammed apron for her mom. She is "Jo Jo" to her grandkids...thought this was so cute...

Holiday Orders

I recently did a holiday show, hosted by my sister-in-law. I took lots of orders! Here are a few of the things I did...


For twin girls born just a few weeks ago...




 And for their cousin, Brooks...



I made a few tiered dishes...these are great for chips and dip, a cheeseball and crackers, or any other kind of holiday goodie you can think of!




...and yes, I have another craft..MAGNET BOARDS! I love these! I have a magnet board in my kitchen (that I didn't make...bought from Royal Standard) and I keep all my invitations, birth announcements, reminders, etc. on it. I decided to make some because they are so darn useful! I sold A BUNCH! Probably
like 40-ish! Here are just a few of my favs...









My first store order!!!

I met Ashley through my sister when we lived together in Shreveport about 5 years ago. She is super-fun! She and her husband now live in Thibodaux with their 2 little boys, Channing and Hudson (cute names, huh?). She is opening a high-end children's consignment shop and asked me to make some onesies and bib/burp cloth sets for her store!









They like the show "Swamp People"...hence the "Choot'em"...

2010 Holiday Extravaganza!

So I am THRILLED to be part of this! Ten vendors, including myself are hosting a holiday open house this year! We are all very excited. Who doesn't love make-up, home fragrance, monogramming (...and I'm not the one monogramming! I'm doing magnet boards! Surprise!), jewelry, bows for your little girls, smocked outfits, scrapbooking, FABULOUS wreaths, and word art (you know, like vinyl wall things)?! It's going to be a blast!
...if you're reading this, I hope to see you there!



Tuesday, October 5, 2010

I had a holiday show last night at my sister-in-law's house. VERY good show! Lots of people came and got a lot of Christmas shopping out of the way! There are several people who live out of town or couldn't make it so I'm doing a post to show you what items I'm offering this year. All prices do include a monogram. If you see something you need for a gift or want for yourself (I always do the "one for them, one for me"...haha), email me at shell_134@hotmail.com. We will discuss monograms, fonts, and colors when I hear from you.


*please disregard unprofessional photos...sometimes I just have to hold stuff up and take a pic!



I monogram/applique tee's ALL THE TIME! I have some of the cutest appliques and fonts. It was hard for me to fins a girlie Saints tee for my little one last year so I made this and she showed her home-state pride while still being adorable and girlie!


These tee's are $15 for toddlers; $18 for children.


They are only available in long-sleeve until the Spring, but I can get any color. I can do any monogram...any applique. Take a look at my appliques (I have more than this, too many to list!...if you want something you don't see, just ask...I may have it or I can get it)
