invited

Recently, my little August Rose turned ONE! We celebrated with a vintage yellow rose party. You can view all of the party details HERE on my other blog, but here are the invites I designed and made for the occasion...

 And here are some other recent invite designs. Definitely one of my favorite things to do...

(go HERE to see how Bennet's mama, Melissa, threw a perfectly precious pinwheel party for Bennet!)

If the lack of blogging over here at Redbud has been any indication, things have been a little crazy at my house lately. I had to go a week without my computer back in May, and I am STILL catching up from that. So, I am going to close my wait list for a while so I can focus on catching up with my current projects.

Here are a few of the designs that I have completed lately. Click on the pictures to go see the designs live (and maybe discover a new blog to follow!).

my own little family's blog 

a fun lifestyle blog that features REALLY great photography

my first blog in a foreign language for a client who lives in Portugal

I'll let you know when I decide to open things back up. As always, thank you so much for your support of Redbud!

spring is here and the wait list is OPEN

I am not a cold weather kinda gal. I do like the cold and snow if it is Christmastime, or if I happen to have a pair of skis under my feet. But other than these rare occurrences, I say bring on the heat.

And the pretty flowers.

And the bare (and edible) baby arms.

And hours spent outside with my girls.

Spring has arrived here in Tennessee, and I couldn't be happier about that. An open wait list has arrived here at Redbud, which I hope brings one or two of you some happiness. My estimated wait time is still around 6-8 weeks, but check out my products page and let me know if I can help you in any way.

In the meantime,

ah!

I have just discovered this evening that the order form on the new site hasn't been notfying me of new entries since February 1st. If you have sent me an order form and haven't heard back from me, I am doing my best now to respond. Because of this new discovery of several new design orders, I will be closing my wait list until further notice so that I can accomodate those of you who haven't heard from me. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this has caused those waiting and those who are interested in a design at this time. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding!

my fave present (and WINNER) revealed!

I have loved reading over the comments on the giveaway and seeing what all of your favorite birthday presents have been! I had a really great birthday this year. My super cute and thoughtful husband Kevan got me what I think might be one of my favorite presents ever. A Texas necklace!  If you know me at all, you know that great state is near and dear to me.

Some of my dearest friends spoiled me with some great gifts, too. Look - there's Texas again (with a heart over my hometown!). Such a sweet and perfect embroidery by my friend Penny. Do yourself a favor and check out her Etsy. She's so creative and talented. Melissa gave me the super cute mug, and Jen gave me that beautiful soap dish! Thanks, lovelies!

Enough about what was given to me - let's get on to what I'm giving to one of you! We have a winner!

Yay! I've known Jessica since college and she has always been such a dedicated Redbud fan. She enters all of my giveaways (and usually has her hubs enter, too), so I am beyond thrilled to give this gift to her! Shoot me an email sometime, Jessica, and we'll talk about how you'll be using your $80!

Thanks to all who entered. I am honored by and grateful for each one of you!
