Spring has Sprung!

One of the first cards I made is still my favorite and I still have a few in stock! Everyone seems to love it, but no one seems to buy it : ) This was a valuable lesson for me. I assume no one knows who to send this card to. I see so many things like this when shopping, especially on Etsy. I think, "I love this! buying it", then I think "for who and when?" Anyway, this card looks festive in the window at The Treehouse right now and it makes people smile and that makes me happy.



With Spring, a few wonderful orders have rolled in too!  I just finished a Telegram wedding invitation for a couple in Mississippi. I like that they chose to use Blue ink instead of the Red I've used before. The wording is cool too for a Dr. Who themed wedding. Aria spent a few really lovely days at my feet busying herself with Altoid tins and pulling up on the cart I keep the press on while I printed.



Then, a fellow in Australia ordered One year birthday invitations. This was a challenge since he needs them by May and Aria and I are heading to Ohio on Tuesday for over a week. I was nervous to say I could do it. In fact, I first said I couldn't, but he agreed to pay the additional shipping charges and I ordered the plate the next day to be overnighted. With the help of my husband watching Aria today, I cranked these lovelies out. They are drying now to ship on Monday.

I love seeing this silhouette in print! I drew it from a profile photo of Aria a few months ago. Most of the the one year designs I recently did were inspired by her as you could assume. We aren't using any for her birthday though. I originally thought we would use butterflies, but her new obsession and her first real word is Duck so back to the drawing board for her birthday :)






Hope the warm weather has found you all and your windows are open!
Create on, my friends!
