Sweet Tooth Tuesday: Cotton Candy Edition

Today is the 15th day of NaBloPoMo and I am just squeezing in a blog post with about 2 hours left in the day! It's been a very busy day to say the least. My boys are on "Spring Break" from school, but since they are both rowers, and there is a regatta this weekend, we're having a Staycation.

Thinking about an actual vacation led me to the topic of sweets. I have an incredible love for all things sweet and I can hardly think of anything sweeter than cotton candy. It's crazy unhealthy, bad for your teeth, terrible for your blood-sugar and DELICIOUS! I love the stuff. I realize it's just spun flavored sugar, but sometimes simple is perfect. I collected a few cotton candy ideas I found on Pinterest and I'm sharing them with you today (er, tonight technically).

Latest Custom Work: Baby Ella's Announcements

I posted on Facebook the other day: "One of the many things I love about my work: getting to share in other people's sweet life events." Today's post is about the latest custom birth announcement I've designed. Friends were recently blessed with a beautiful baby girl and asked me to design the birth announcements! Here are the results.

  Love, love, love...

I'm also currently working on custom photo thank you cards for one of my favorite brides (to be revealed soon), and a set of really fun stationery and business cards for a client who's about to be published! So THIS is one of the many reasons I love my job... I get to be excited for people's fun life events, and design something special for them too!

If you'd like to work together on a design for your life event (birth announcement, wedding invitation, anniversary etc.), you can contact me here.

Free Little Love Notes

As February comes to an end, I thought another free printable would be fun for my readers. You may remember the free "ABC I Love You" printable posted earlier this month. Feel free to get your copy if you didn't already.

This week I've created a set of Love Notes that you can share with your little someone special and even your big someone special! Slip a note in a lunchbox, place one on the bathroom mirror or maybe even leave one on the dashboard of your sweetie's car. Perhaps you'll even want to mail one or two for fun.

Click on the photo below for the printable image. Print on a regular 8.5" x 11" sheet of unlined paper and cut along the dotted lines. Enjoy!

(this printable is not for resale or mass production. for personal use only.)
