Elephants Everywhere!

I recently choose this bedding by Carter's for our new baby girls room. Ever since I can't stop designing cards with cute little elephants. It started with an elephant birthday invitation, and led to an elephant birth announcement and a baby shower invitation.




I didn't stop there and also added elephant big sister and big brother shirts to my cafe press trendy tots.

So now that I have exhausted the elephant thing what's next? I am working on a website re design for addiekate.com and continuing to search for inspiration in every day life. Stay tuned!

I also came across these adorable Rubber ducky party supplies at celebrate express.The

Great toddler Christmas Gift Idea

Holiday shopping is in full swing at my house and of course my daughter is my favorite person to shop for. I found this great arts and crafts table from eBeanStalk.com that I love.

It has a spot to roll butcher paper out as well as several cups to hold crayons, markers and more. The surface of the table is also a chalk board.

I think this is a gift that will last for years to come.

eBeanStalk.com is a great spot for many unique toys. They are also offering free shipping on orders of 65 dollars or more with code FreeShip$65. Check them out!

Our family Halloween Card

I am so excited to report that my 2 year old daughter was actually cooperative for our mini photo shoot the other day. Hopefully this is a sign that we have moved past the months of only getting pictures of the back of her head as she runs away from us.

I usually design a new card for our family holiday cards but this year I was so busy with Halloween photo card orders that I just choose my favorite from my gallery, the Boo design.

I modified it a bit to say buzz instead of boo but that was the only change I made.


Stay tuned for our family Christmas photo card in a few weeks!
