Tuttle Family

What a beautiful family! I got to spend the evening with this sweet family and had so much fun. Their little kids are so sweet and petite! See more pics here.

Baby Gus Announcement

I think my lil sis felt bad that I didn't get to take this handsome little man's newborn pictures, so she let me make his announcement instead. Oh, he's so adorable!  I can't wait to meet him in a few weeks! And look at his doting big sister! So stinkin' sweet!

Livingstone Family

I got to spend the morning with this handsome family! They were such a hoot and I had such a good time capturing their fun personalities.  See more of this cute family here.

Baby Sadie Announcement

Oh how I love this squishy little bundle of baby goodness! She is such a sweetie and not only did I get to take her newborn pics, but got to make her announcement too! Love all this girly stuff!

The Other Brewers...

When I married into the Brewer family, it was a good thing and a bad thing. The good was that the family is incredibly sweet, down to earth and just awesome. I really, sincerely love them and am so blessed when it comes to in-laws. The bad was that they are all incredibly gorgeous. Like, lower-my-self-esteem-gorgeous. They are all thin, beautiful and perfect - as you can see with this family. These are some of my in-laws. Do you see what I mean!? My SIL is a Brazilian Beauty and her family- oh my goodness- they couldn't be more beautiful if they tried! So it was definitely my pleasure to hang out with them all afternoon, snapping some pictures.

Talk about a gorgeous family...

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Fourth of July!!

Anna is such a wiggle worm! She refuses to hold still. I have to make crazy faces and sounds to get her attention and then Ellie wants to make the same faces- stick her tongue out etc. Geesh. I tell ya...taking pictures of older subjects is much more difficult! ;)

Baby Sadie

I got to take pics of this sweet little munchkin. It was one of the most fun things I've done in a long time!! She's baby number four, but the first girl. She's already pretty darn spoiled by her brothers!

It was an absolute pleasure to take these and I can't wait to do it again!

Birthday Subway Art

Howdy howdy. I have a million things to be doing right now to get ready for miss Ellie's party tomorrow... so what do I do!? Play on the computer!! I wanted a fun little subway art to put up in our living room, but couldn't find anything that I liked. So I decided to make my own. Then I thought I'd be nice and share. ;)

I wanted something to match the theme- sort of carnival-ish and bright and colorful (also referred to as rainbow- but if I say "rainbow party" everyone, including my hubby, snickers... so now it's is a "bright and colorful" party instead!) Anywho. Hopefully it will add to the colorful atmosphere tomorrow (and compensate a little for the fact that I really slacked on the party prep...)

Merry Christmas 2011

I wanted to do something fun for a Christmas card this year, not just the usual "picture, merry christmas" etc. So I found some inspiration and this is what I ended up with.

Hope you all have a wonderful celebration of our Savior, full of joy, love and service!

Here is the other card that I sent out to those who I thought might not be interested in reading an entire page of Brewer Family happenings (the typical "family picture...Merry Christmas kinda card). :)

General Conference Packets for my Primary kids

*Update*

I fixed the link to download this from the blog and have added the jpg file for the crayon label. I will no longer be e-mailing out these files. Please read the instructions on how to download the file from here.

I've hosted the file on my husband's server (carbonated labs) so don't get confused when that's what the URL says. :)

Thanks!

So I wanted to put something together for all my primary kids for this coming Conference. I looked all over the internet (got sucked into Pinterest for ideas! Darn that pinterest!!) I found a bunch of cute ideas, but nothing that I was overly fond of. So I copied a few ideas, came up with a few of my own and then made my own packets for the kids. I think they turned out so cute too!

I have a bunch of different sections with activities and then treats for completion of each section.

I made the packages small so that I could do lots of little pages per full page (saves paper!) Now they are small and portable. I made my own little covers for the packets and then covers for the crayons mounted on cute card stock for each kid so they all match. Then I used some of the extra metal rings I had from Ellie's quiet book and put them all together. I had to add some little fabric pieces to each, to add some color (because now they are "scrappy" tee hee hee). And then attached a treat bag at the back with treats for each section.

Some of the sections I included were: Listen carefully - where they have to listen for each of the words during conference), Bingo pieces - that they can cut out and put on the bingo sheet I included, Scripture match-up - where they have to match the scripture to what it's about, armor of god - they have to find which name goes with which piece of armor, name that apostle - match the apostle with his initial, a word search and crossword puzzle and lastly some talk sheets and pictures of all the apostles- so they can cut out each apostle and put it on the talk sheet they want to highlight with notes etc.

Here is the link to the PDF if you'd like to download it. Click HERE.

I saw a few comments that you couldn't download the PDF. I clicked on the link and it opened in a print window. If you click on the print icon and then select "Print to PDF" then you can select where to save it and print it from there. Hopefully that works.

Here is the crayon label. Just click on the image below to open it larger and then drag it to your desktop. or you can right click on it and choose "save target as" and then choose your desktop. Either of those should work.

Newest Client: McKay Manor Musers

So I got a new client a few months ago and she has managed to keep me very busy! This new client happens to be my aunt, but hey- it's a new client anyways. She started a new business with her daughters and has had me do everything from creating her logo to designing website pages and pattern covers etc!

It's been a fun process, but it's hard to make something for three people with totally different tastes who don't know what they want. Let's just say there have been a lot of edits and re-dos. ;)

Here are a few of the items I've created so far.

Here are a few different pattern covers that we've done (let's just say, she is indecisive and is having a hard time with just one cover...)
