coming soon onesie

an Etsy customer recently contacted me in regards to my "i heart grandma & grandpa (coming soon...)" onesie.  she liked the idea of using the onesie as a way to announce to her parents that she and her husband are expecting, but wasn't sure what title they wanted to go by as grandparents.  so i suggested doing a onesie that just said, "coming soon" with the expected date.  

as i was creating the design, i thought this little onesie would actually be a pretty fun and special way of announcing to a soon-to-be dad as well of the exciting news.

"coming soon..." onesie now available for purchase on my Etsy shop.

have something else in mind or more personal you want on a onesie? contact me and let's see what we can do!

new notecard designs

happy to announce a couple new notecard designs for the in a card Etsy shop!

here are two designs catered to all you social media lovers...

in the social media world, hashtags (#) are commonly used to mark a keyword or topic, so why not hashtag a greeting via handwritten note? this set is filled with all occasion notecards to say, #hello, #thankyou, #missyou, #loveyou, and #congrats to those near and far.

arobase, also known as the "@" symbol and how we refer to ourselves in the social media world.

thanks to mama joan for sharing this pic of her handsome little man, zac, sportin' simplewear's "little monster in training" design in a toddler tee.  

all simplewear designs are available as onesies (newborn, 3 months & 6 months) or toddler tees (2, 4 & 6).  you can even mix and match sizes to create a custom "simplewear - 3 pack set" or "simplewear - 5 pack set" allowing your gift to grow with the baby.

silhouette keepsakes

back in 2007, i created a silhouette of my cousin ben to use on his cowboy themed birthday invitations for his 2nd birthday.

as a gift, i took the silhouette and turned it into a little framed keepsake, which since, has been on display in his bedroom.

fast forward to 2012, ben now has a little brother, zac, who recently turned 2.  so of course, it's only fair that i created a silhouette keepsake for zac in celebration of his 2nd birthday.

simplewear - 5 pack set

i'm lovin' this baby blue/celery green simplewear 5 pack set i just customized today for an etsy customer.

if you want to customize a set of your own, go to simplewear.etsy.com, or just contact me directly. you can browse through my etsy shop for current designs or view this pdf for a complete selection of over 50 available designs.  don't forget, all designs are fully customizable, so if you have a color preference or want to add a name to a design, just let me know!

i ♥ mamaw & papaw (coming soon...)

i've received so many orders for the "i heart grandma & grandpa (coming soon...)" onesie lately and a few times i've been asked to customize this design with their own version of "grandma & grandpa" or even a few "aunt & uncle" requests, which makes for a special way of announcing your pregnancy to the ENTIRE family!

here is a special one i created recently that is on it's way to surprising a set of parents of their son's new journey into fatherhood.  matthew is currently in afghanistan, so he'll be skyping with his parents as they open this special package.  i can't wait to hear and see their reaction when they open this package.  with luck, i'm hoping matthew is able to get a screenshot of his mother's face as he's promised to share her reaction with me.  

just thinking about it brings tears of joy to my eyes.

custom party favor labels

a custom little label can add that special little touch to any party favor.

here are a few examples from Chlo + E showcasing a few custom favor labels i created, from past events they've worked on...

as you can see, each label is custom tailored for each event and theme. if you are interested in ordering some custom favor labels for your next soirée, feel free to contact me for more info.

i heart grandma & grandpa (coming soon...)

i've had several requests lately for the "i heart grandma & grandpa (coming soon...)" onesie, so i've decided to list it as a new item on my simplewear Etsy shop.

this little onesie makes for a fun and special way to announce to your parents (a.k.a. soon to be grandparents) that a little one is on it's way!

a fun way to announce a new baby is on the way

my simplewear shop has been super busy lately. with mother's day around the corner, i've had lots of requests for my "loved and spoiled by" onesie to help announce a new pregnancy. these onesies will surely surprise all the soon-to-be grandparents as well as the soon-to-be aunties and uncles.

"simplewear gift wrap" by simplewear on Etsy

i've even had a custom request for a "i heart grandma & grandpa" based on my "i heart mom" and "i heart dad" designs.

i love the little addition of "coming soon december 2012" on this onesie. it makes the onesie that much more custom and special.

little cowboy notecards

i'll eventually get around to creating matching notecards for all my little invites. but for now, they will just slowly be created as they become requested by my customers. :)

happy to announce the little cowboy invites now have a coordinating notecard set and are available for purchase on my Etsy shop.

custom notecards

alex originally found me on Etsy and was drawn to the simplicity of my notecard designs.  she thought custom notecards would make great gifts for her co-workers, friends & family this holiday season.  for her co-workers, she thought it would be nice to include the logo of the organization they work for, 10x10.  here is how her notecard sets turned out. (as a little surprise, i included a set for alex.  it's only fair that she have her own custom notecards to send out as well.)

each set, like all my notecards, comes packaged with a simple elegant black ribbon.

alex works for an amazing organization called 10x10. it's a global movement for girls' education - a film and social action campaign. people working together to change girls' lives. at 10x10, they believe that educating girls breaks the cycle of poverty and changes the world.  to read and learn more about this organization, please visit 10x10act.org.

i heart onesies

i recently created a custom onesie design for my yoga instructor mary beth, aka MB.  (make sure to check out mb's website and blog.  she's just an all around awesome person and every week i look forward to her yoga class at the studio surya yoga.)  

this design is an ode to the i heart ny tees that are so well known.

this design inspired me to create 2 new designs for my simplewear Etsy shop...

cash, check or charge?

happy to announce that "in a card" now accepts credit card payments! thanks to a nifty device and app, called square...

perfect timing, considering the holidays are just around the corner! guess it's time to start thinking of holiday cards and gift ideas... 

my #1 favorite gift idea?  NOTECARDS!  they are always nice to have around and way more personal than an email.  and who doesn't like receiving something else in their mailbox other than bills and junkmail?!?!

i'm sure you'll be able to find a design for everyone on your holiday list this year.

baby school pride

it's always fun creating custom onesies for my Etsy customers.  recently i had a custom request for twin onesies that i thought was such a clever and cute idea, i had to share.

mommy to be is a Oklahoma State grad...

i wonder which school these twins will be going to when they get older???
