Are We There Yet? - Free Printables

Some of my fondest memories of the holiday season (or any season for that matter) were the car rides to my Nanny & Pa-pa's house. If memory serves me correctly, the trip was about 2 hours by car. I believe it was initially my brother and sister who started the chant, "That's not Nanny's... That's not Nanny's...That's not Nanny's..." while pointing at every house along the way. And I've been told that the chant began anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes into the trip. It is that fun memory that inspired me to create my first set of free printables from Easton Place Designs. It's my way of saying thank you and happy holidays. Enjoy!

Autumn Has Arrived (sort of)

Technically speaking, it is officially Autumn. Weather-wise, um, not-so-much. Today in New England it was a lovely 82 degrees and the weatherman says warmer and more humidity for tomorrow. That stated, the trees, squirrels and geese know the seasons have changed. Everywhere I look I note shades of Autumn color on the treetops. The squirrels have been busy digging in the garden, finding that perfect hiding spot for Winter's culinary treasures. The Canada Geese can been seen (and heard) flying in their perfect "V" formation as they make their way to a warmer climate.

This imagery brings me to some of my latest card designs.  I recently had the honor of creating a custom design for a business that specializes in the humane removal of Canada Geese by using canines.  The owner of the company had received a business holiday card last year from a client of mine. She contacted me this Summer asking if I could create a holiday cards unique to her business. Here is the finished product. I especially love the look of it with the rhubarb colored envelopes! The order was complete with coordinating, round return address labels.

More and more companies are sending appreciation cards during the Thanksgiving season which is smart and thoughtful business! Here are some of the other Autumn designs you can find in my shop. If you send out business "holiday cards" perhaps you'll consider sending Thanksgiving cards instead. My clients who do so report a lot of positive feedback!
