How Sweet It Is…

So my little Dillon is IN LOVE with the american flag. Sure we love our country and we are proud to live here but it is so sweet to watch and hear Dillon get so excited when he sees one flying high.  So, awhile back I had decided I would eventually buy from pottery barn a wooden painted american flag and put it in his room, but then I started thinking… I love putting my kids art up around the house so why not let him draw the american flag and have it displayed proudly.  Today that is what we worked on. Five sheets later he finally came up with one that had 13 alternating stripes and a blue corner, not half a blue page  :)  Tomorrow I’m going to order this for him as a 16×20 or 20×24 for him to put in his room then I will display a little 5×7 of the image of him holding it nearby to show he created it.  When I told him I would make it big for his room he was so excited, I can’t wait for him to see when it does arrive. bdillon-flag-picture-order.jpg  b1231proofs.jpg

Here’s a little holiday card sneak peek into what will be offered for holiday cards. I’m really excited about some of the cards I have to offer you this season. Many of the cards are really versatile too. Below I will show options for the folded cards which you can get in linen, gloss or a pearl finish. Although below it shows front, inside and backs you can also get the flat cards which can be the front and then a back w/o the inside ( you can put your message on the back too. )Front:    bfront.jpg Inside:binside-spread.jpg  Back:bback.jpg

Looking for some fun bubbles? Get the BIG jug of gazillion bubbles. I found them at Target yesterday on sale and if you get the big jug, you get the big wand which makes some really fun, long bubbles.b1181proofs-edit.jpg   No worries to those getting tired of my kiddos everyday. I start back with my sessions the first weekend in August and there are many booked so look for sneak peeks of people other than my children then!  In the meantime the kids and I will continue our fun :) b1185proofs-edit.jpg
