Very excited to work with the Hiram Farm to help with some signage! We made 7 signs all from color core HDPE. These will last through the seasons with no painting, sealing, or upkeep needed.

I missed their Mother's day plant sale, but I am looking forward to visiting their store and farm stand soon!

Forgive my photography skills, but this family birthday sign was too good not to post. This Mother's Day we will be celebrating "Grandma Chitester". The matriarch of our family. Here are her kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and great great grand kids. Isn't it crazy we have no March birthdays?

There is still time to order for Mother's day! Sign starts at $59 for 15 names and $1 for each extra. Can add anniversaries (hearts) and pets too (dog & cat shape)!

Confession: I can't remember the last time I updated the photos around my house. 😅 Meanwhile, this year’s school pictures are living their best life… in a drawer.

I was at a baby shower this weekend and remembered all those monthly photo shoots—so much effort for one smile… and now they live in the cloud.

So I made something to fix that.
Milestone frames that keep everything in one place (and actually make you update them… maybe). I also had a baby shower this weekend and remembered all those monthly photo shoots

Are you team “updated every year” or “we’ll get to it eventually”?

We were asked if we had a Stamped Jewelry Gift Certificate similar to the Gem Stone Mine. Just in time for Easter. Give a cool gift for someone to experience handcrafting a cool gift for themselves. Just $25. Add another for $15 so they can make one for Mom or Grandma for Mother's day...
