I've been wanting to have my back porch enclosed for a while. I don't even have a "before" shot to post, but it was basically screened in from the top to the bottom. Lots of dust, dirt, and wet floors whenever it rained. A major pain was what it was. So, we had it enclosed. It's nothing fancy but much nicer than before. My husband still has to finish painting the trim (it will all be white in the next week). In addition to the bench, I plan on adding a coat rack that we can use for our own coats or our guests can use when they come over. And, I was finally able to put up the little Christmas tree with white twinkly lights that I've been dying to add! A little late, but hey, the porch was just finally finished on Sunday. Better late than never!

{The Birthday Boy} ~ Jack David!!!
Today is my nephew's 2nd birthday, and tonight was his party. It was a small family party held at my parent's home. There was not a theme for this party, rather a color palette of lime green, bright blue, and orange used throughout all of his party details. Check them out below!

For the last few weeks, I've also been working on designing/ordering some things for the room. I just wanted to share one of my latest finds from Etsy. It's a monogrammed pillow and matching onesie. I haven't received it yet, but I think it's going to be adorable. I plan on placing the pillow on my rocker in the nursery, and the onesie I plan on using during his newborn photo shoot. I choose fabric #9 for my pillow and onesie (a little tough to see because the pic is so small). Can't wait til this package arrives!
COMING SOON:
- Back porch pics (it's finally being enclosed!)
- My nephew's 2nd birthday party details
- My baby boy's nursery decor / nursery projects
- My baby shower invitations (yes, I'm making them)

Holiday Cards 2009 - Pink and Green!
I LOVE the look of pretty envelopes with beautiful address lables just as much as I love what's inside the envelope. So, I made little scalloped return address tags for the back of the envelope (cupcake topper design) and rectangular address labels for the front. I had these printed at different times and the colors came out a little differently each time. Second lesson learned - print all pieces in one shot to avoid difference in ink colors!

Christmas Cards!
My sister lives in Virginia, and they had a huge snowstorm about a week ago. My nephew is a tough guy to take pictures of because he is constantly on the go and won't pose for a picture, but Becky was able to snap this cute candid shot of him in the snow. His cheeks are all rosy in the color version of the picture, but the black and white looked better with the colors used on the card. And I love the reindeer on his hat! He's my boyfriend (shhhh....don't tell Bo) :o)

Bridal Shower Invitations
I made these bridal shower invitations a while ago for Jen's bridal shower. She is getting married in Florida on the beach and her colors are green and orange. I incorporated a pretty green patterned cardstock with palm leaves on the invite because of the location of the wedding. Green and orange are a hot color combo for weddings right now!
