Do good, save a stamp, send holiday e-cards – couldn’t have said it any better. We are approaching 2 weeks before Christmas and if you haven’t started your holiday cards…well maybe think twice. 9 incredible illustrations and proceeds will turn into progress for children. More info here.

Forever obsessed and always will be…*sigh*. She says it best, “It’s the only time of year I do a sale/discount.” So hop on over to her shop for a 3 for 1 print sale!

Safe to say the outrageous trend of 2009 and continuing on is….DIY! And what a better way to spend some quality time with friends and family…crafting!! My friend, Modern Kids, introduced me to my new fav SF based blog Say Yes to Hoboken, and I hope to be her friend too :) Now start those diy sweater stockings now!!

Yup that’s right, full of the Christmas spirit this year! Seems that during my Thanksgiving break something sparked so here I am sitting at my desk in a room full of garland, fresh pine, ornaments and berries and it’s Dec. 2nd. So in honor of my spirit and coming back into the blog world, I’m sharing with you some of my favorite finds from my trip downtown SF yesterday. Luckily, my dad sent me some of our old-school felted ornaments from years ago but have you seen these natural buri ones? In love with CB’s felted garland (pic above, in-store only), CB2’s felted trees and these acorns! More here!

Thanksgiving is tomorrow…wow, how time has flown by this year! Lots to be thankful for and always…take some time to tell the people you love that you are thankful for them. Beyond thankful for my everyday living essentials – food, family, shelter and friends. I’ll be taking some time away from computers and internet so I’ll see ya next week (thankful for time off)! So in the meantime, love live and laugh your way through this holiday! Happy Thanksgiving!

Awww that grump face! Max and Kennedy were my first set of twins to photograph, and boy-oh-boy were they little sweet peas! I photographed their parent’s wedding a couple years ago in San Francisco so it was my absolute pleasure to visit their adorable home nestled in the cutest tree-lined alley (did I mention how much I love being back in SF?!) and capture the whole family.

Oh the blog is ooozing with cuteness this morning! Meet Niko and his family! You actually know them more than you think…Vana (mom) is my friend, Smitten Sticks partner and owner of Le Papier Studio! I was so excited when she asked me to take some fun and fresh photos of her beautiful family. We couldn’t have asked for the more perfect fall day! Such a gorgeous family, come see! (more…)

I’ve been in love with House of 3’s digital kits from day one! Their newsletter just popped into my inbox! A new printable kit for popcorn bags, sparklers and garland – what I love most?! The reddish poppy color mixed with blue, and you print it yourself! You could totally use these for your summer wedding and/or 4th of July bash! Link above.
