Snapshots: Willa Turns 5!

We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon of family and cake and PIZZA! It's unbelievable to me that it's been 5 years since she joined us. Amazing! She's a vibrant, intelligent and beautiful girl and we're blessed to have her! Enjoy the pics of her party. :)

I made this little man with fondant, he turned out pretty cute but I definitely need more practice with fondant!

I sketched out this W on a cardboard box and K cut it out with a jig saw. We taped in sides and a bottom, then K drilled the holes for the lights. Two battery operated packs later we have it!

Party Animals. :)

Everyone clowning around!

Happy Birthday big girl!!

Some Quiet Time Fun [for Willa + her Mommy]

The bag sports a felt owl on one side and patchwork felt on the other. It's lined with a duck cotton and the straps are the cotton as well. The bag includes: matching socks, star puzzle, counting fruit and words that start with b play mats, colored pencil roll, glitter calm jar and whale hide + seek toy, as well as the felt dress up play mats previously posted [with new friends!]. She calls it her purse. :)

I had tons of fun making everything, and she enjoys quietly playing with it all. My thought was to take it places with us where she needs something to keep her occupied. Like the doctor's office. Or church. But so far it works just as well at home. And the best part for Mommy is getting to make new things to trade out of the bag so things don't get dull. I heart easy fun projects!

Big Sky Outdoors Custom Logo Project

A newly completed custom logo project! Big Sky Outdoors does turf services for schools, golf courses and other large greens in the Sioux Falls area. This project was a lot of fun start to finish, especially drawing all those blades of grass!

I've been working hard growing my freelance graphic design business and plan to post more often here about design projects I'm working on. If you know someone who can benefit from my knowledge and skills please give them my name!
