my favorites from 2011

I'm a wife, a mom, a friend.... and I make banners.
I opened my Etsy Shop in September 2010 and it has a whirlwind of a journey.
The majority of my time is spent on custom orders for people who have found me through my etsy listings. I am so blessed to have gotten to work with so many wonderful people! Some I have even sent 50+ emails back and forth with. This is why I love buying & selling handmade items, I just love the personal connection!

Here are some of my favorite custom orders from the past year

It was a last minute order that landed me on the mega wedding site Style me Pretty

Long story short. Someone won a banner from a giveaway I was apart of & gave it to her friend who was adopting a girl from Africa. This is the wall in the sister's room.

Always a pleasure to work with photographer Wendy Updegraff. Not only does she take vibrant photos but she throws some killer kids parties!

Regan was so much fun to work with & I can't get enough her vintage style. We had so much fun we still talk on facebook.

My first large sign undertaking. It was hard to mail it off because I loved making it so much.

 This was one of my Christmas banners but newborn photographer Kimberly G turned it into a sweet maternity shoot prop.

This was one of my first orders. A friend of Blake's ordered this banner to use on a poster at the Orange County Buddy Walk for down syndrome. I felt so honored :)

1st birthdays

I can't count the number of 1st Birthdays I have made banners for. It always so much fun working with the Mom's to make something special for their little ones first party.

With over 500+ banners under my belt it's hard to remember every one (which makes me sad). But these stick out.

If you are reading this & have purchased one of my banners this year, I can't say THANK YOU enough! You've helped support my little family & you've given me a chance to work with my hands and do something that I am proud of.


I can't wait to see what orders I have in store in 2012
