bag tag bag tag bag tag…

today was a bag tag day!!

 

also, happy 7th birthday Emma Kate :)

and congrats Megan & Patrick :)

now off to wrap em’s present…

today… was a Monday

Not much to report here for this Monday – thank goodness it didn’t turn out like last Monday for sure!

Wanted to post a few clips from the past few days…

New “Meredith” folded note

I need to find a way to do previews for the pens & drinkware & stuff that I don’t have time to photograph… I did a few really cute pens & memo holders today but of course, I have nothing to show for them b/c I absolutely do not have time to take pics let alone edit them, since my picture taking skills are the pits. 

So, I guess you will just have to settle for nothing on those products for now – until I spend the $15 grand I was quoted over the weekend for a previewing website… ((geez!!)) I guess that’s what I get for having too many choices :) 

I did manage to preview some of the new pillowcases that have been quite popular since their intro…

and a new note cube…

& a CUTIE PIE!!

and another precious cutie :)

and how about a cute folded note to match…

and mom wanted some stickers w/her name on them.  I started doing a 3x2 sticker that I haven’t added to the cart yet…

off to bed… :)

Quick Friday post

Headed off to carpool but had to share…

look at little chichi up there :)  ain’t she cute??

happy weekend!!!!

I am way behind on so much right now – sorry for any delays that I’ve caused… my daughter was in the ER w/a heart episode & my father in law had a heart attack – both things happened on the same day this week so we have been so exhausted w/all this going on. What I had planned on being a very productive week has turned into a flop.  :(

Spring Break coming to a close

As things wind down this week, the silence to come will be deafening for sure… but much needed!  When the two year old says to you, “Mom, I see Ms. Amy now” you know it’s time to be back in the swing of school days. 

We’ve been enjoying our wonderful Nanny’s Wii… so much that Dad now wants one.  Geez… I think I’ve convinced the kids to tap in to the “Disney jar” that we forgot to cash in for our most recent trip to buy the said Wii – what’cha think?  I think it’s fair game since the Bippity Boppity Boutique came out of my pocket this year.  As did all the junk purchases & game room (thanks to Gramma).

While the kids (older 2) enjoyed the Zephyr’s Baseball game, I stayed home to work… yeah! 

I did get a much needed email, though… thanks Jill ;)

Here’s a few new happies for your Friday night.  Have a great weekend!

Poll time...

I've never posted a "poll" but I just wanted to play around to see what you thought of the new look ;) Go ahead... click over theerrreee to the right!

Also, I need everyone to "Fan Up" on Facebook! Click on the link to become a fan - when I reach certain milestones on there, I will do a giveaway!! Let's get to 100 first & see how it goes :)

new fonts, icons

I have been working on a more organized collaboration of my icons & fonts. Of course, there are way more options than what I actually post on the website but this is a good sampling. The icons are an ongoing project so keep checking back to see what's new in that section. So far I have uploaded the critters & cuties to the icons link but there's much more where that came from.

Also, I have added a bunch of new fonts that I have been using lately (I have over 1500 fonts on my machine!) but you will probably see more fonts being used in different products on the site.

Click the links here to check them all out! I hope you enjoy ;)

Makeover Monday ;)

I’ve been really, really bored with my site design so I spent the better half of this afternoon neglecting my children redoing the site & blog.  Hope you like!  The functionality is still the same which I am definitely working on improving but at least it’s nicer to look at.  I think it reflects more of  my style of work so that’s a good thing! 

Spring Break is in full swing around here {as is a stupid sore throat for me!} so please be patient as I am in between my office, the laundry room, the living room, backyard, playing referee, the list goes on!

All in a day’s work

shipping days leave no time for design work but i was able to squeeze in a couple today that i thought i’d share..

Cup Inserts … all sizes … same price

I have had to change the prices on the cup inserts (only).  Here’s the pricing structure going forward:

• Patterned Cup Insert Only (ordered without a cup) $5.00 each
• Patterned Cup Insert + Icon Only (ordered without a cup) $6.00 each
• Add on insert (ordered WITH a cup) $3.00 each

Please note that the same size cup MUST be ordered in order to receive the $3 each price. 

There are way too many insert only 0rders coming through w/out the purchase of the actual cup which is what the $2.50 each price was intended for – as an “add-on” when you ordered the cup including one insert.  I have been going back & forth with this & since the inception of the “original” laminated cup insert back in July 2006, I intended on this being an “add-on” price but have kept it the same… until now :(  I hate to go up but I just have to.

So, on the plus side, it’s easier to remember the prices now :)

Birthday season.. need stickers for those gifts?
