Chow time!

Below are a few more samples of the personalized plate and bowl sets.  I was only able to order sets with turquoise rims this time around, but as you can see, they can be made girly very easily.  Hopefully my next order won't be all pink, otherwise, only the most confident of baby boys will be able to enjoy them!  E-mail me at karen.psimas@yahoo.com to place an order.

Which do you want first...good news or bad news?

Good news:  I was sooooo excited about the personalized plate and bowl set, and my friend Lesleyanne at Virginia Beach Macaroni Kid (a local e-newsletter for families) even offered to use one as a promotional giveaway item.  The response has been great, and one lucky Macaroni Kid subscriber will walk away with their own set come Monday night.  

Bad news:  Playtex has discontinued the set and I have no idea how much longer I will be able to offer them.  Talk about having the wind taken out of your sails!  I'm going to place an order for as many as I can within the next few days, so please let me know ASAP if you'd like me to reserve one for you.  The sets are being sold for $15, which includes one plate, one bowl, and one personalized insert for each.  Additional inserts can be purchased for $1 each.  These sets make wonderful gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and new babies. Email me at karen.psimas@yahoo.com if you're interested.

Fancy Fonts' New Endeavor

And I thought getting new gel pens was exciting!  Here is a sample of the latest and greatest from Fancy Fonts:

It's an adorable plate and bowl set, personalized for the messy eater in your life.  They're made of durable plastic by Playtex and have been able to withstand Camryn's favorite game of dropping them from our counter-height kitchen chairs to see how many times Mommy will pick them up.  The bottom lid comes off so artwork can be removed before washing.  Microwave and dishwasher safe...bonus!  I have an ever expanding collection of patterns, or feel free to give me your own to personalize.  These sets are being sold at an introductory price of $15.  Extra patterns can be purchased for $1 each, so order one for every season, holiday, or special occasion.  Get 'em while they're cheap!

A real cliffhanger

Hang on to your hats folks...Fancy Fonts is branching out!  Let's just say Camryn received a gift for her birthday that I've used every day since, and every time I use it I think "I can do that!"  So now I'm doing it!  I ordered the supplies today and will show you exactly what I'm talking about when I create a prototype.  Can't stand the suspense?  Here's a hint...those of you with babies and who know people having babies, be excited.  Be very excited!  Stay tuned.

The new phone books are here!

I am as excited about my new gel pens as Navin Johnson was about the new phone books arriving.  Unlike Navin, I was not born a poor black boy, nor did I make up a catchy jingle about a thermos.  

Also, congratulations to Christine and Jodie, who are getting married this weekend (although not to each other!).  Christine was my first customer from craigslist, and Jodie was my first referral from Pearl Taylor, event planner extraordinaire.  Thanks for your business and Happy Wedding, ladies!

Psee Psome Psamples

Thanks to a rainy Sunday and two kids who went to bed without a struggle, I was able to work on a few more samples tonight.  Thanks to those of you whose invitations and announcements are featured below!

Eat, Drink, and Be Married!

My brother's wedding is quickly approaching...it's almost time to send out the rehearsal dinner invitations!  Kind of ironic how the wedding invitation says "Celebrate We Will," and my mom chose a rehearsal dinner invitation that says "Eat, Drink, and Be Married."  Maybe Kevin and Meghan should dance their first dance as husband and wife to a Dave Matthews Band song?
