A Girl's Best Friend

My mother is fabulous- and I will be the first one to admit that I love the fact that their is a day dedicated to honoring her. This year Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 8. There is no better way to say "I love you Mom" than with a handmade card. On the Martha Stewart website you can find 19 great ways to customize a card just for your mom.


If time is against you or maybe you aren't in an art project kind of mood, luckily there are designers who make their darling creation available to you for purchase.



Happy Celebrating!

Sealed With A... Fleur-de-lis?

Birthdays have always been a BIG deal in the Ferrai Family; therefore, when my sister turns 30 (come February 19), you better believe a ruckus will be made. In preparation for the big day, my mother and I have tag-teamed to produce a wonderful weekend in wine country, something my wine connoisseur sister will adore. My sister also has an adoration for the color purple, gold, and the fleur-de-lis (okay maybe not an adoration, but she really likes these things).

As an early birthday present, I decided to make handmade custom invitations that had Tiffany's name all over them. After a quick trip to Paper Source the crafting began...

The envelopes were lined with purple tissue paper for a softer and more feminine look

The birthday girl's favorite symbol was used to seal the invitations with gold sealing wax

Cheers to the Birthday Girl!
