I Finally Figured It Out!

I finally have my new blog ideas figured out. In my quest to be a crafter, Etsy business, stay-at-home Mom, and learn more about homeschooling ideas, I've decided that this blog can be a mix of those parts of my life. I'm going to keep the same blog here w/ the same name, but the content will be much more varied and focus on whatever I'm working on in my life. Right now, that could be homeschooling some during the summer and working on beginning to read activities with my 4 1/2 year old.

Next week will be my first week back to blogging and my new blogging schedule. I promise to share lots of information, links to other blogs, tutorials, and of course, new Etsy items from time to time. Thanks for sticking with me!

Back to Blogging?

It's been almost 6 months since I've blogged, and I'm finally getting to the point where I miss it. I'm working through a few new ideas, so that I have more ideas to blog about besides just T and Little S Designs. I would like to talk about my life as a Mom to a busy preschooler, balancing Mama time w/ creative time, and featuring other artists. Stay tuned for a new schedule and more blogging!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I know it's been forever since I posted, but I wanted to take a few minutes to thank everyone for a fabulous year for T and Little S Designs. I have so many new designs planned for the new year, but I will be taking a few days off to spend time with my family.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Planning for an Early Christmas Here

I'm feeling a little short on time this year with holiday preparations. We scheduled our vacation for the beginning of December, so I really need to have everything mostly finished and ready before we leave, including cards in the mail. Instead of handcrafting my cards this year, I've decided to use holiday photo cards from Shutterfly. I've always been impressed w/ the quality of their prints and my share site through Shutterfly, so I plan to use their holiday photo cards.

I'm still deciding between a flat or folded card, but here are a few of my favorites (along with my daughter's favorites):

This card is her favorite (I'm sure due to the pink), and I love how colorful and non-traditional it is for holiday cards. I think it's definitely fitting for a family with a preschool daughter.

This is my personal favorite. I love the classic look of the holly branch w/ the modern look of the black and the text box at the bottom. Pretty sure, I'll go with this one for at least part of them. It's really hard to choose, but I know that any design I pick will go beautifully with our family photos that we had taken in October.
