Dear Mr. Post Man

this tri-fold design was done for my brother and sister in law. My sister helped me out with this one by spending the day with them and taking photos. For her first photo shoot ever, I think she did an amazing job!  

(check out more from the day here)  

This year it worked not only as their Christmas Card but also their Baby Announcement. yup, thats right, baby airdo is due around june 2011. the card reads:

"jingle bells, jingle bells, 
jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to share 
a baby's on the way!"

i cannot wait to be an aunt and see his or her adorable squish face! i'm also super excited to finally open my big mouth about the exciting news. Drew and Emily called us up on her Birthday to share with us the news. Yup, her Birthday! Emily found out she would be a mom on her Birthday-too sweet! Have I mentioned my sister and I have already begun shopping for our niece or nephew. (already begining the spoiling process and he/she has not even arrived)

congrats again you two!

this one is clearly our family christmas card i just love black and white. I probably could shoot in only black and white and be happy. so crisp and classy!

we didnt take a family photo this year so we opt'ed to just use some random pictures from the year. three are from the Utah vs. BYU game (Utes won by the way) during our trip in SLC over Thanksgiving. Then we added one in there of our new house which we will be celebrating our first Christmas in this year! One is from a photo shoot we had this fall back at the Berry Hill Estate and than of course a few of our baby Olive in there!

enjoy!

5 more days till Christmas!

Friday Feature: Me

So I get this email last night from my mom titled "Beauty" than I get a text from my sister saying "I saw painting"...So I open the email on my phone and I get really jealous because I see this beautiful painting of who I think is my sister. I thought someone had sent it to them as a Christmas Gift/Wedding Gift since they just got married in May. And in my ever so selfish way I say to myself "I want one"

I rush into the office to show Derek and open the email on my computer, stare at it and realize- hey that's me! 

Then I continue to text my mom and find out My Aunt's good friend, Jane painted this for my mom as their Christmas Gift (it took her a year and I think it is amazingly beautiful). 

Now my mom really feels like royalty or so she says "Only royalty has portraits like that!" oh she also said "it's an amazing portrait of her favorite daughter" (ha ha)

All in all this was probably all way too much info just to share this painting.

Woof Wednesdays: Meet Bob

Meet Bob

 Brussels Griffon | Male | Adult

Greenbrier Humane Society

Bob's story... 

Bob is a very sweet and shy adult Brussels Griffon Terrier mix who feels more at home in your arms or lap!

It's the Christmas season...

and many think about buying pets this time of year. Well if that's you, check out your local shelter first! They are filled with loving, adorable, smart dogs ready to get out of there and into their new home with oh a big comfy couch or bed to share!

Oh and just in case it's just not that time to adopt your pup, consider making a donation to your local shelter this Christmas. Call them up and see what they need, it could be money, food, beds, etc.

My last week's pup is still available too! Check her out here!

 now these two below, i wouldnt want small (which she is offering with the deal)

i would want them big some where in my house! 

so Ill just be adding these to my wish list

fabrics on my mind.

so the master bedroom is coming together, slowly but surely! with a lot of help from my sister of course. 

we've decided on the bedding (from anthro) and the curtains (from world market) now i just need to decide on some fabric for the headboard my husband and his handy friend will be making me (fingers-crossed before Christmas)

i would like the headboard to have this shape:

and now onto some fabrics, I am thinking of:

and to play it safe i could always just go with a natural linen, right?

so designer friends, and those of you with "an eye" lend me your suggestions!
