I am also going to be raffling off a set of these adorable bride-t0-be note cards to one lucky winner for each show day. I will post the winners names here on monday!

Catching up to do!

So much for starting 09 with a clean plate. Over New Year's we all got sick and lexie needed her mama home and not at work, she is better and I'm trying to get back into my groove at the studio. I have lots of new stuff to post! Most recent, I just sent a postcard to the printer today for Creative Cakes by Jessica. She will have a booth at the Bridal Show at the Lancaster Host Resort on Sunday the 18th from 11:30-4pm. Email her for tickets to the show! I also worked with Elaine on cool stuff for her new photography biz and family roofing business. I did the Time4Tyler invitations... an annual fundraiser dinner hosted by my friend Amy Cook and her husband. Last years party was a huge hit and I can't wait for this years. I'm working on some concepts for the Gaggles n Giggles logo which is going to be exiting when it's all done. Back to work I go.....

Merry Christmas!

So I thought I'd have time to put a picture up of making christmas treats which we did this weekend at the cabin or going to Candylane yesterday.... wrong. I now have to leave for church in 2 hours followed by Christmas at the inlaws where I need to wrap all my neices & nephews presents and put the goodie baskets to gether for all their parents.... and get 1 more gift, ugh! I left lexies "Christmas Jammies" at the cabin so I want to find a new pair to wear up tonite. We leave straight from tims parents. I have to go to wegmans and get fresh meat and veggies for the rest of the week and get home.... wish me luck I need it! As you can see I need a much needed break so the studio will be closed until I recoup next year!!!!!! Hope you all enjoy the holidays with your family and friends.
Merry Christmas Eve,
julia

Still Taking Holiday Card Orders!

Just so you know Monday the 15th will be the last day to place orders for my Press-printed or photo greeting cards to ensure delivery by the 20th. Feeling rushed!? How about sending a New Years greeting or give yourself even more time and send a unique custom valentine to all your friends and family.

I know most of my designs on the website look pretty bright and bold this year so I wanted to point out one I just did that is very warm. Tammy Brinkley photographed this family whose children were in a wedding last weekend so I had to glam it up abit. The client told me she wanted to work with gold so this is what I ran with.

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY

If you didn't get a chance to stop by today, I'd LOVE to see you tomorrow! I made some of my yummy sugared covered cranberries so it might be worth the trip, ha ha! All holiday card orders are 10% off and can be combined with a discount coupon this weekend only. Any order placed for a 2009 event is 15% off and expires tomorrow!!! Lexie will be here so as always, little ones are more than welcome to come play. P.S. sorry I didn't post this sooner for those who didn't know about it.

The Cabin Birthday Cake

I was poking around on craigslist one day just before my husbands birthday and saw a post about custom cakes that caught my eye. I thought "hey, I don't have time to bake a cake!" and I already got his present (nothing special) so I thought a thoughtful cake would be a nice touch. I contacted Amy and she was very excited to work on my cake. I told her tim liked to fish maybe we could do something with that theme and sent her a picture of our cabin (were we were going to celebrate the day). She delivered it which was a super big help as I am always running around like mad finishing orders the weekends we go out of town so I really appreciated that. And It was SO cute. She did a wonderful job with it. She even stacked little cookies like logs for the cabin and found chocolates that looked like rocks for the pond. It was 2 layers of vanilla with a coconut filling in the center, yum!!!!! My husband really liked it and was surprised to have such a great cake for his birthday. Next time you need a cake instead of a grocery store or fancy bakery cake you should try one of Amy's! Here email is maggnolia420@yahoo.com.
