You know it has been a good day when...

You come home with these fabulous finds!! I am in love with all things ink. It is by far the greatest gift anyone can give me. Santa generally always gives me fun sharpies in my stocking.

I love writing letters to friends and family. I also write to my chemo buddy twice a week so it's great to have new, fun colors to use when I write her notes. If you've never heard of ChemoAngels and you love sending snail mail, you should check them out.

Gender Reveal Football Invitation and Cake

I found a blogger photo in October that just made my day.  She had a cake made to match the Gender Reveal Football Invitation that I designed for her! So awesome. And her baker is very talented! The cake looks stunning. I am so impressed! Very creative party ideas in her blog too. I really like the jersey's she used in her party. Take a look for some Gender Reveal Football Party Ideas!

Thinking with type

I just finished this book, Thinking with Type by Ellen Lupton. I am now very inspired for Christmas!! It offered an interesting and for me a new perspective on design with type. Total book nerd I know. These are the crafts of the trade.

It's fall and photo time

I was very excited to have Mary Colleen Photography take new family photos for us this year as it has been years since we have had our family photo take by a professional. Mary is talented and spends just the right amount of time getting everyone situated. The children ages 1, 4 and 7 stayed happy throughout the shoot and Mary captured amazing photos of the girls in their natural element. While we love the posed family photos, it's photos like the one below that are magical.
