Maeghan's Baby Shower

My mom (Sandy Walker of In Awe Weddings) had the pleasure of planning Maeghan and Nick's wedding, and I was able to assist her. We had so much fun with them and were able to get to know Maeghan's family. I was thrilled when my mom told me that Maeghan was expecting a little one and that we had been asked to help plan a baby shower.

Sandy, along with Maeghan's parents, decided on a vintage baby shower theme. It was held at The Boulders in Scottsdale. Thanks to Robyn at the Boulders for all of her help! The Flower Studio did the BEAUTIFUL flowers and AZ Cakes created the cake, which was a work of art...

For the invitations, I used an Envelopments cocoa polka dots z-card. The mom-to-be and her family and friends flew down from back east, so we had an itinerary of all the fun events they had planned for the weekend. I created the baby carriage artwork, which was inspired by the vintage theme.

We had so much fun at the shower... the food was amazing, I laughed a lot, and it was so much fun to be able to spend time with Maeghan and her family and friends.

Blog Slacker

I've been seriously slacking on my blogging responsibilities. Unexpectedly, my February turned into a crazy month for wedding invitations. I am very excited about the new invitation creations. I've been able to design invites to beach weddings in Maui (wish I was going) and fun, colorful, yet elegant invitations to a wedding at the Botanical Gardens. I can feel Spring coming when I design baby and wedding shower invitations. I will post photos as soon as I have them.

I love to work with people who are just starting a new business. I remember the difficulties I faced, and I appreciate all of the people who helped me along the way.

Jenna Campos is passionate about photography. She loves taking photos of families and babies, as well as doing maternity shoots and weddings. She commissioned me to help her with a logo and business card design, and together we created something that reflects her personality and vision for her business.

Showing your Appreciation

Merry Christmas Eve!

First off, I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I pray that it will be a special and blessed time with family and friends.

I wanted to remind everyone of the importance of showing your appreciation for those who have taken the time to give you a gift... whether it was a plate of cookies from the neighbors or fancy jewelry from your hubby, everyone loves and deserves to know that you are thankful for the gift they gave you.


I think thank-you notes are important, and I haven't done the best job of sending them out in recent years. I hope you'll agree that writing a quick note of thanks is important, and I am writing this blog as a reminder to myself to send them out. You can find thank you notes at the dollar store, you can make your own, or I can design some for you.


Thanks to all of my wonderful clients for ordering Christmas Cards and gifts. I really appreciate your business, and I look forward to working with you in the future. You are a blessing to me!

Apple a Day

So I've been a slacker on posting gift ideas these past two weeks. Wedding Season was in full swing and I couldn't stop for fear of falling behind.

My gift of the week is something that we use frequently in my house: our Apple TV. No, it's not an actual television, it's a little silver box that magically links to your iTunes. It not only plays your music through your TV but also allows you to upload your photos and displays them in a slideshow.

The thing I love about it the most... you can buy and rent movies. Pretty much any movie I've ever wanted to watch is on there. It's the best. Plus, you can watch Utube videos. Check it out on the Apple Website.
