Deadline For Christmas Is November 30th November 17, 2009

I wanted to let everyone know that if you want something for Christmas the deadline to order by is November 3oth.  Also I will be taking no new orders after November 30th, until the New Year.  I have lots of presents to make and I want to enjoy the holidays with my family.  And can you believe 4 months ago today we landed at the Nashville airport with our sweet boy Sol.  Wow how time really flys.  Even more so, last Thanksgiving was when we announced and started our adoption process…crazy what God had in store for our little family in less than a year.  And I will leave you with a new order placed by Kelly.  Kelly is throwing her little boy Drew a Where The Wild Things Are birthday party and needed something for Drew to sport.  After emailing over different ideas, Kelly decided she wanted the crown and scepter.  Thanks Kelly…again and hope Drew has the best Wild Things party ever.

I’m Leavin’ On A Jet Plane November 13, 2009

So I am leaving Friday morning and headed south to Florida to visit my best friend Ashley in Orlando and get this…I’m going all by my self.  My birthday was at the beginning of November and for my birthday present my sweet husband Josh decided to send me on a weekend vacation and I could not be more excited.  Josh travels a lot and racks up quite a bit of frequent flier miles, so the best part is that my flight is free.  But he will be home alone with the three wee ones…hopefully I will not come home to him duct taped to a chair and leftovers of Cheetos and M&Ms scattered around the house (we don’t really have Cheetos or M&Ms in the house…not that I don’t love both).  So no work for me this weekend!  I will be back at it come Monday and for now here are some recent orders.

These Africa shirts were ordered by Erin in Missouri.  They are on the waiting list for their baby girl in Ethiopia and she wanted shirts for her daughter and son.  Good luck Erin and thanks so much.

This order was placed by Joy in Alabama.  She wanted a cute block and tee for her son Eli and then Africa shirts for her two daughters from Ethiopia.  It was such a pleasure Joy…thanks again.

Hope everyone has a great weekend…I know I will.  Thank you Josh Kelley!

Celebrating Adoption Plates November 9, 2009

This order was placed by Julie in Missouri.  She wanted special plates for each of her boys who are adopted from Ethiopia.  Instead of celebrating “Gotcha Day” they celebrate the day they received the picture and information on each of their boys.  She wanted a plate for both of them to use on their special day.  I thought that was such a sweet idea.  Thanks Julie for your order and hope your boys love their special plates.

My Husband Is Blogging November 6, 2009

My husband Josh just got back from Swaziland last week and is now on a mission and has a fire under him.  He is blogging now, so please check it out and read about his heart for Africa and especially the people of Swaziland.  You can check it our here www.joshuankelley.com. And this is one of my favorite pictures ever of my sweet, hottie of a husband.  I truly love, love, love his heart.

I’m Running OUt of Titles November 4, 2009

This first order was placed by Ashley in Kentucky.  She wanted a tractor tee, boy skully tee, tank tee and a sweet little pink cupcake tee.  Thanks Ashley so much and hope everyone loves their shirts.

This next order was placed by Amanda in Franklin.  She is due anyday with her first son and needed a special shirt for her little girl to sport at the hospital.  I love all the different patterns and pretty pinks.  Thanks Amanda and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

My friend Courtney ordered these cute little girl tees and they are headed to Texas.  Thanks Courtney…as always.

And lastly is an acorn shirt for my niece Campbell.  My sister-in-law Jen sawthe previous acorn shirt I had done and decided Campbell needed one.  I was happy to do it of course.

 

More Orders October 31, 2009

This first order was ordered by Dana in New Mexico.  She saw a recent taggie blanket I had done for my friend Kelly and she had to have one for her new baby girl Reagan.  Thanks Dana so much and hope Reagan enjoys her new taggie blanket.

This next order was placed by Heather in Ireland, but was going to her friend Kelly right down the road in Brentwood.  She ordered a cloth block and bird onesie for Kelly’s new baby girl Emily and also ordered a letter “d” shirt for Emily’s big brother Drew.  Thanks Heather for your order!

This next order was placed by Shannon in North Carolina.  She loved Huddy’s baseball themed letter tees I had done and ordered mathcing tees for two of her nephews.  Thanks Shannon so much and I know your nephews will be dolls in their pitter patter tees.

And lastly this Africa shirt was ordered by Allison in Kentucky.  Her family is in the process of adopting from Ethiopia and she wanted a shirt to show her love.  It was a pleasure Allison and I hope your process goes smoothly and you are hloding your sweet child soon.  Thanks so much!

I Love This Girl October 25, 2009

Enough said about that!

Onto some orders…This first shirt was ordered by my sister-in-law Kim for my little niece McKinley.  McKinley wanted a cat and that is what she got.

This next order was placed by Kelly for a giant letter E.  Her little girl Emily just arrived at the beginning of October.  Can’t wait to meet her Kelly and thanks again.

Gifts, Gifts and more Gifts October 19, 2009

Okay so this first one is an order…My cousin Karen ordered this painting for her new little boy Nate.  She wanted the painting to be very clean and simple and she requested blues and browns.  She also asked that I add the meaning of each of his names smaller…I aim to please and hope she loves it.  Thanks again Karen.

Now onto some gifts.  I have had a to do list of gifts for a while and decided that it was time to actually finish them.  This first gift is for my friend Brea whos new little man Joshua arrived in May (yes I know I am behind)  I did a big letter for Brea’s youngest daughter and when I asked her what she would like for her baby gift she said she would love another letter.  I think it turned out quite cute and sorry Brea it is so late.

Next is a baby gift for another friend of mine Kelly.  She is also my sister-in-law’s sister…did you get that?  She just had her first baby girl at the beginning of this month, baby Emily.  And she is a doll.  Emily’s room is in pinks and browns and since she is a fall baby, I decided to try and stick with some fallish colors.  Can’t wait to meet sweet Emily!  Congrats Kelly.

Lastly my niece Lyla turned 3 the other day and today she had her princess birthday party.  Harper had a blast!  I ended up making Lyla a princess castle shirt, a much needed bow holder for all her cute little bows and a fabric match game with a little box to hold her match game.  I think she had a great party and we love that girl tons.

Hope you guys enjoyed some new items.  Also please don’t forget that all proceeds from my site are going towards the people in the All Saints Aids camp in Nassau, Bahamas until January.  Cannot wait to see what God does with this money.

Just Because October 18, 2009

I just finished up my last order and I have been working on lots of gifts that I needed to give to some special people.  Can’t wait to post all of them.  I will start all new orders on Monday, but in the mean time here are 2 pictures just because.  And can I just say that one of the absolute best things in life is the way my kids love each other.  Seriously, God truly blessed us with kids who have not a jealous bone in their bodies…knock on wood.  And the brotherly love Hud and Sol have for each other even at this young age is just priceless to us.  Enjoy!

Taking New Orders October 14, 2009

Alright, I am taking new orders.  I won’t be starting any until Monday because I have one order left to complete and a few gifts that need to get done.  Also, I am not limiting the spots to 10 because Josh is about to head out to Swaziland and I am going to have ample time at night after the kids go to bed, so I will just be taking orders until it gets out of control…you guys know how it works.  So email me and let me know if you need something.  And here are a few orders that I have completed lately.

These 2 Africa shirts were ordered by my friend Tracy, who just got home from Ethiopia with their baby boy Nile.  He is such a sweet baby.  Sol and Nile are just 3 months apart and I look forward to them being such close buddies.  Thanks Tracy!

This letter set was ordered by Christine.  She has 3 kiddos and wanted one individual letter set for each child.  Hope they love them and thanks so much Christine.

My sister-in-law Kim ordered these shirts for my nephew Jack.  My brother is WAY into skulls and crossbones, so Kim let me do a skully tee for Jack.  She also wanted a truck shirt and my brother was all about Monster Truck ralleys as a kid, so I couldn’t think of anything more appropriate.  Thanks Kim!

Lastly this is part of an order for my cousin Karen.  She wanted a “n” tee and burp cloth for her new little one Nate.  I also am working on an art piece for Nate that Karen ordered as well.  I will post that in the next few days.  Thanks Karen for your orders.  I’m sure Nate will be a doll in them.
