babies, babies, babies

I have had the privilege several times lately to help dear friends celebrate the births of their babies. I have to admit...this is my favorite kind of work.

Lisa and I grew up going to the same school and church. Her new baby Sophia was SO easy to stare at while designing this announcement! (It's no surprise...her beautiful mama is a professional model.)


My friendship with Annalee goes back to college. I found myself rooming with her my freshman year on a spring break campaign, and we were instant friends. We talked even that week about being mamas someday. She was most definitely meant for such a role. I recently designed an announcement for her second squeezably cute baby, Graham.

Jaymie is another close friend of mine from college. She makes me laugh like no one else, and is my hero when it comes to mothering. She also recently had another baby. She wanted a bit of a western feel to Quinn's announcement. Don't you just want to jump in that picture and cuddle with him?!

Leigh Ann is one of my oldest and dearest friends. She taught me everything I know about hair and make-up. :) She had her sweet baby boy THIS MORNING (!), and I was honored to design a baby shower invitation for her. Since I wasn't able to attend (can someone please pick up Texas and move it closer to Tennessee? Thanks.), this made me feel like I was a little part of her special day. Holt's nursery is decorated with Ugly Dolls, so the shower went along with that theme as well.

Speaking of babies, we recently found out some fun news about our newest addition, coming in August...

You can read more about my little family HERE. Thanks for stopping in. As you can see, things have been busy around this little business and around my little house!

miss oklahoma usa

Recently I had the pleasure of designing a blog for the current Miss Oklahoma USA, Morgan Woolard. And wouldn't you know that she's as nice as she is pretty? I absolutely loved working with her.

She will be competing for Miss USA live on NBC April 18th. I told her that although I'm from Texas, and now live in Tennessee, I will definitely be rooting for her!

But I may have spoken too quickly because how could I root against this pretty little thing??

 
  

I wish you all the best, Morgan! Thanks for letting me be a small part of your Miss USA experience!
