Well this sweet baby girl is a whole year old now! I am antsy to share photos from her first birthday but before I do, I have to share photos from the baby shower and her birth announcement! Better a year late than never, right? Right?! Since I was still in the midst of morning sickness when shower planning was underway, I opted to purchase some watercolor graphics for the florals. I fell in love with the ones I found from By Lef on Etsy. They were so easy to implement and came in such a variety! Make sure to check out her beautiful shop! Amie's mom and sisters threw such a beautiful shower!! I was honored to get to contribute a few handlettered goods to compliment their shabby chic decorations

Oh man, this kid cracks me up. His joy and unceasing happiness is contagious. All of his expressions had me laughing out loud as I edited his photos so I just had to put together this little animation to document all the little moments in between. See, now don't you love him too? :) A small reason I got to take his pictures this day was just because I hadn't been able to get him in front of my camera in such a very long time. But the second reason, the biggest reason, was to make this announcement to the world

Hey there race fans! I'm so excited to be sharing photos from my best friend's baby shower earlier this month! Especially after sharing her maternity photos last week! Because of their love of vintage and cars, their baby boy, Hudson's, nursery will be vintage car themed. But because Amie grew up as a drag racer in the NHRA, we felt compelled to gear the shower toward Amie's *racy* past. It was such a fun shower to plan and to maximize the theme down to the smallest detail! The Invitation Suite I struggled and fretted over this invitation

Last week, my best friend finally let the cat baby out of the bag! She's expecting her first little babe this December! Before she even found out that she was pregnant, she had told me that she had wanted to take these feet photos with their little pup (okay she's not that little now, remember these Christmas photos??) So of course I am so excited to meet my new little niece, or nephew. I'm already dreaming of the cuddles, photo shoots, Disneyland trips, and mini milestones all along the way. And of course, dreaming of the baby shower!! It feels like just yesterday that I was immersed in all things pink and cherry blossoms! Now, don't you worry, I'm sure I'll be posting all along the way

Today my Disneyland pass expires. After having an annual pass to the Happiest Place on Earth since Christmas of 2004, I am so heartbroken to not just be able to head down there whenever I want. Looking back over the years, I feel so blessed and am so thankful for all the little moments and celebrating all the major milestones. It's the place I fell in love, it's where friendships were strenghtened, its the place where my little nieces and nephews saw a whole new world with a sparkle in their eyes. And oh my gosh, I miss it already. On the other hand, Disneyland to me has always been a creative and artistic masterpiece. Every single nook and cranny has been thoughtfully executed down to the smallest detail. It has been crafted with love and a passion for the ideals of one man, Walt Disney. Walking down Main Street, I am just filled with so much creative juice that my heart just feels full and my mind is racing with ideas. And while I am taking a break from having a pass for awhile

Just a month after the wedding, I posted an in depth recap of that glorious day, when my best friend married the man of her dreams under the trees, amongst the hills of Temecula Valley. While this post shares my best friend's wedding on a whole, I wanted to share a few photos of the behind the scenes of parts I got to work on! To make it to that gorgeous day though, a lot of craft nights (and mornings, and days, and weekends) had to happen. Because she loves me, or my writing I should say, I got to hand letter on just about everything! From the invitations to the cake topper

Another great gift idea for the bride to be is a scrapbook of letters from all her girlfriends, bridesmaids, and close family members. See yesterday's post on another gift for brides, a scrapbook of all the wedding events! My friend Amie actually pinned this relatively early in the wedding planning process so I kept it in mind for later. About a month before the wedding I sent messages to about 20 people, from her close girlfriends to her family, including her brother and nephew. And then I saved the best for last with a letter from the groom. A few days before the wedding I snapped a few photos of the pages that I had completed for some of the letters—hope you like them! If you'd like to make your friend a letter scrapbook as well, here's a sample of the note I sent to everyone requesting for their participation: I'm planning on making a scrapbook to give [the bride] at the rehearsal dinner filled with letters from the women closest in [bride]'s life! You can just give me a letter or you can actually make one page [size] for the bride. Your page can include anything
