    ah!! I'm the honored one and I'm giddy with excitement for Greta to see them! I hope my next order for Dagny's Birthday (April 20th) will be your 89th order! :)
    I'll get with you on the colors...will need to coordinate since they share a room but different also....so start thinking!!

I promise!!!!! THe letters are darling! Does anyone else say that-or is it just a Utah thing? Just wondering!!!

    Congrats on the order. And I agree with Tausha on her comment about you opening an Etsy shop - go for it. I love the letters.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I found Kristal and her "inspire" sign via your blog - so, thank you! I custom ordered another sign from her - "CREATE" for my office/art studio. And, no, I didn't do my boys' silhouettes. A lady came to their school and did it freehand - she's amazing.

    Hey Amanda - thanks! Glad you liked my book. The paper came out of a book/pad of scrapbook paper I got at Michaels. The brand is We R Memory Keepers. There are some really cute papers in it! I know - I'm totally burnt out on HL's papers.

    hey, I wanted to find out how you did with the letters at the craft fair??? email me at walterssimona at gmail.com

    I actually just did one of my own and only showcased a couple of letters and none sold so I was wondering if I needed to do more words instead of just letters... Let me know what you think
