The Cowboy Way

 
I know I am SOOO behind on posting, but here are a couple catch-up posts real quick to make up for my lack of posting! :) It has just been crazy busy around here! A few weeks back, the kids had Primary Activity Day, and they had a blast with the Pioneer Theme! Jeron loved his cowboy hat and playing marbles, and Jocelyn was so excited to make a little rag baby doll. They also got to listen to pioneer stories, and played a scavenger game. I also included some fun pics of the kids in some other cowboy get-up, notice Jeron in his yellow & black cowboy boots that he had to have. :) Enjoy the pics!

Grandma/Mom's Bday Pics!

Alright, so I am only a MONTH overdue in posting this, but I apologize and hope all you girls will enjoy these pics from Mom's Bday and forgive the late viewing! :) It was a ton of fun to celebrate Mom's Birthday with her - the kids loved breaking out the party hats and helping decorate, and of course they had to get in on the candle-blowing as well! :) Wish you all could have been there :)

Our Newest (& partially guilty) Addiction . . .

Busy Bee

 

I know it's been a while since I posted, but I wanted to give a quick update on all my recent design endeavors! I have really been busy with alot of different design offers for freelance work -A logo design for a friend in my old Ward, a Grad Announcement for my friend Megan's sister, and a request for a 4 page brochure for another friend. (yikes! :) Also, I am still continually adding designs for my website templates at The Cutest Site on the Block, and was recently offered a temp. design position with prospects of becoming permanent doing custom design work for The Cutest Blog on the Block. Fun!! :) Samples of my recent projects:


Logo Samples for a DVD rental kiosk system (sorry, kind of small!)




Grad Announcement Designs


My Mom helped put this one together! And I will have you know, she personally fine tunes all of my work. I love her helpful little critiques and suggestions!!! You're the best, Mom! :)





Website Templates - I have 22 posted on the Site now, but here are a few samples of recent designs! Feel free to check them out at The Cutest Site on the Block!

 
"Orange Blossoms" & "Charmed I'm Sure"

 
"Cabana Breeze" & "Perfect Pear"

 
"Princess Jocelyn" & "Cheeky Chic"

I would post the fun Custom Design work I have been able to do for TCBOTB (buttons, backgrounds, etc.) but I don't know if that is violating their privacy. Probably! :)

Aside from design work, I have been getting requests for Hairbows and Hairbow Holders - I am currently putting together a new site, Alicia Alee Accessories, so I have definitely been a busy bee! :) I am just so grateful and feel so blessed to be able to have these recent opportunities come into my life so that I can continue to be a stay-at-home Mom but also be able to pursue my interests and talents :) Sometimes I feel like a little less of a full-time Mom, but hopefully I can get more organized and learn to balance everything well, and if not, just cut back where I need to. :)

(I wanted to post pics from my Mom's B-day and some other recent activities, but that will have to wait until I finally download pics from the camera! :) Soon, I promise.
