it's the holiday season

Hello friends!

I'm SO in the holiday spirit right now.  Flurries are swirling in the air outside the window and I'm about to travel around the midwest to do the tour de family, which I couldn't be more excited about.  Yep, I'm ready for the people and pies I love to be gathered around the same table as we come together and give thanks.

Since tomorrow kicks off a whole special season of giving and tradition, and because I'm ready to get my apartment lookin' its holiday best, I thought I'd share a  print that's available in the shop. If you are on the hunt for some festive decor, be sure to head to my Etsy shop and browse around!  Christmas cards, custom stamps and some fun gift ideas are also there, too, so keep your eyes open for those!

Hope your Thanksgiving is sweeter than potatoes, Caitlin

all i want for christmas (and other holiday tunes)

Dear Friends, Christmas is almost here, and to say that Austin and I are excited is understatement.  To prepare for the big day, we've been listening to Christmas music for hours each day is an understatement.  Mariah Carey definitely inspired the print above---as did my who  mom performed an impressively convincing lip-sync version that I had the opportunity to experience first live via FaceTime, but I'll spare you the details on that one.

If you're on the hunt for some new Christmas tunes that really capture the reason for the season, be sure to check out some of the ones I'm posting below to hear some of our absolute faves this year! xoxo, Caitlin

send some love

Hey there!It's December, and you know what that means. Time to bust out the Christmas tree, bake some cookies and send some super cute holiday cards to everybody you love.

As you know, I love me some custom lettering, and I'm crazy over Christmas, so I started making a few Christmas card designs for Austin & I to send out, and just couldn't stop! Now I'm offering custom hand-lettered cards for you and your family for $10! Just send your photo along with any other words or phrases you'd like to include on the card, and I'll send you the jpeg so you can print however you'd like.

Where should you print the image?  A few recommendations....

  • Upload the custom image to Walgreens or your local drugstore to print as a matte 5x7 print for 11 cents each!  So easy!
  • Print a your jpeg like a folded greeting card, envelopes included, through Shutterfly for $1.59 each, for 25 cards.

If you're interested, check out my Etsy site to get started.  I'm so excited to make the perfect card for you and hope you'll check it out!

Peace, love and hot chocolate! Caitlin
