go team!

i first made this family a growth chart about 3 years ago. mom and dad wanted a baseball-themed chart for their first-born all-star. since then, they've added to their team with twin boys, anthony and nicholas, so mom and dad recruited me to make two more charts! go team!

blasphemy!

i'm probably going to be tarred and feathered for this one, but i'm actually very proud of how it turned out. i made this growth chart for a friend in NY (and our favorite photographer - shameless plug). i asked her if it was sacrilegious for a Yanks fan to make a Red Sox growth chart...and she asked if it was sacrilegious for a Sox fan to take pictures of a Yanks fan. touche!

my only hope is that her boys outgrow this chart and ask for a yankees one at some point!

3 brothers

i got an order from a friend of mine in NY, a mother of 3 boys (ages 6, 4.5 and 2.5), who was looking for a unique gift that her boys could give each other for christmas. they all have such different personalities (and did i mention they were all boys?!?)

i'm in awe of how she manages them while running 2 side businesses of her own. but that doesn't stop her from trying to instill the value of appreciating the very special bond of brothers. i designed the frames with their favorite colors and personality traits - and she's hoping she can get a picture to capture all 3 of their personalities...i'll leave that part to her!

michael - the sensitive and genuine oldest brother

evan - the adventurous middle brother

andrew - the playful baby brother

new product - christening plaque!

a friend of mine emailed recently and asked if i had had ever done any religious items. she was looking for something special to give her nephew as a christening gift since she is the godmother. this is what i came up with - and realized that there are a host of items that i hadn't even explored yet! i'm always open to suggestions/requests, so send your ideas my way.
