Have been enjoying your website (usually am reading it when nursing my newborn son!). Love your clean, crisp design.
The notecard give away inspired me to respond.
Ideas for future posts:
- easy homemade costumes for baby for halloween (am working on this for lil' Dante who is almost 3 months)
- ideas for party themes/invites for neighborhood block party (am hosting one in a few weeks)
- behind the scenes of designing a notecard or how a creative type does it at home, i.e. do you draw the designs by hand and then scan them in? draw/create on a computer? which program? adobe? pagemaker? do you use an outside press? (I have created our own wedding invitations and baby announcements and had them printed by a local letterpress I work with, but have always struggled with getting it the way I want it)
I absolutely love your blog and I check it every day for ideas on decorating, parties, and recipes. I am 5 months pregnant right now so of course I would suggest anything baby to be discussed, but I think you are doing an amazing job and would be happy with anything to inspire me.
I hope I win!
I am also loving your blog & check it daily! I love anything/everything related to the holidays, decorating, cooking, and throwing parties. I would also love to know the steps you took and/or advice for starting your own business & how to balance work and family.
I love this blog, and have found much inspiration, especially the parties. Party inspiration is always welcome in my book.
Oh, I am loving your blog! I especially love your ideas for home decor and organizing (the photo album post was fab) and ideas for kids parties. Like you, I'm pretty particular about having things look just so. I'm always looking for craft projects that little hands can participate in that will yield something attractive for the home or for gifting.
Thanks!
Beautiful blog! I'm a mom of two; 3 years and 8 months. And it's so refreshing to see ways to combine having a family with simple design and beauty. Although I can only imagine doing some of the projects, I love living vicariously through your photos.
I'll be following along....
Thanks for all of the great ideas already! Hmmm....I guess I'd be interested in some how-to's for a non-graphic designer to make some signs/invitations/placecards that look half as good as yours!
Your blog is great! I love the simple holiday decorating ideas. Keep 'em coming! I also love the free printables.
Your note cards are so lovely. I hope I win.
of course you know i love your blog!
i love your blog and all the decorating ideas (paper and otherwise). having more ideas on things that we can do (e.g., your templates are fabulous!) are great and provide great fodder for moving us to your retail website. cheers!
I would love to see a post on how your children's rooms are decorated. Also, tips and info on home decor in general. Do you do your own? Do you have a decorator, etc.
Your blog is lovely, and I love the party themes and execution!

Really enjoying your blog. I will be making your "B" birthday cake for my daughters 1st bday but with a big 1 instead. I cant wait! I need some decorating ideas. I'm not a great piper. Also some tips on how to prepare for a party and take care of the baby at the same time. Nervous about that.
i love the details you use on everything...i would like to see more of your ideas with the free downloads attached.......thanks
Ohh how I love your ideas! I have two boys 4 and 8mos. I am trying to retain feminity in this raucous house of boys and your blog has helped me do that!!
I love that many of your ideas have many parts from easy to hard. It makes me feel that with little money and some skill I can really do a lot!
Thank you!
I would love ideas more ideas for holiday decorating that are stylish and kid friendly!
i love your blog....I am no where near having kids yet, but am still drawn to all of your great ideas and can't wait to either work them into an early 20 something lifestyle or use them for my own kids someday.
With the holidays just around the corner do you have any great DIY gift ideas? Also I am sure you both had AMAZINGLY creative weddings.... I know that is not completly related, but I would love to see what you did!
I had no idea this was your first month of blogging (I just happened on it somehow and have been reading for a few weeks). Congrats! I love the simplicity and color of your designs. I especially love your party posts as it makes me want to throw more parties with beautiful colors! I also love posts on printed/stationary design. Thanks for inspiring me!
I love this blog! I have gained so much inspiration from it already...thank you! I work at a Zoo...so I would love to see more animal ideas for art projects, or even birthday parties! You ladies rock!!
Anything and everything!
I love your beautiful blog, and have found something inspiring each visit. One thing I would like to know more about is printing things myself, especially printing labels, and other unusual items. I would also love to see more simple decorating and ideas with printables. I'm excited to try the jack-o-lantern faces with some preschoolers next week.
The ideas you present are so beautiful on their own, but I really appreciate the principles that go into them (IE make a letter cake).
Beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing!
Love, love, love, your blog. I am mostly just inspired by your style but the sugar cookie recipe will be enhancing my life for years to come. Seriously.
I've been loving your party planning ideas, and decorating ideas... With the holidays around the corner, I'd love to see more classy/crafty decorating ideas!
I love all your holiday decor and would love more tips on basic home decor as well.
I agree with Sarah "I guess I'd be interested in some how-to's for a non-graphic designer to make some signs/invitations/placecards that look half as good as yours!"
I try....but it just does not look that great!!
Love the blog!!
oh i love this blog. such great ideas. keep them coming.
I love your blog! What I'm looking for right now is lots of Halloween ideas...party, costume, decoration, etc. Keep the great ideas coming!
