Sorry for the lack of posts.  Things have been crazy around these parts.  I am working on several projects I hope to share with you all soon.

Especially with Valentine’s Day coming around the corner – its one of my favorite holidays!     I am also working on some invitations for a wedding too…hope to share some ideas for those looking for invitation ideas.

I also want to share an idea for a neat Valentine’s Wreath – the idea can also be used for any holiday!  Stay tuned.  We will be sending you ideas soon!

Happy New Year 2010!

From Bella Soiree!

When I was planning my daughter’s first birthday party, I am all about totally custom things so I started looking for some special details I could add.   When searching on Etsy one day I stumbled on the Graceful Notes shop AKA Graceful Correspondence (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Gracefulnotes)  I first was drawn to their name (My name means “Grace” and one of my future daughters will have the name Grace as well) so I thought I would check it out!  This was right up my alley!  They have custom stationary, recipe cards, calling cards, labels, and in any design you can think of.  All precious!!

I decided I wanted to do a few custom cupcake toppers.  I emailed them to ask a few questions about designs to match my theme.  I immediately got a response back from Torry (the creativity behind Graceful Correspondence) and within minutes she had made a draft matching exactly what I was thinking!  Simply fabulous!!

I cannot tell you how great was to work with her!   And how great her products are!   I will be back!  Right now I am eying some thank you cards  with owls on them…my new fave thing at the moment.
