New Cards and New Plaques

 I can't explain it, but from the first time I had a "real" job and got my first business cards printed with my name on them, it just made me feel...nice. I don't know what it is about it...I know it sounds silly, but I love them. Well, I've never had much say so in how the business cards looked....until now! So here they are! Aren't they cute?

Here is what I've been up to this week. I got to thinking I needed something that isn't so specific...not all people know names for showers. So I strayed from the personalization a bit this week and went with something everyone could enjoy.  I adore the phrase "baby love". I saw it on plates for a baby shower and thought it was so fitting! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

Cold temps = Craft table

 So what do I do when it is freezing outside and the children are happily watching a movie? I found these "picture frame" type wooden plaques and thought they would make cute door hangers. I am really happy with the way these turned out. This is my first "boy" plaque, so it was really fun working with the bright colors. I really liked the way the lime green cord spruces up the plaque. The "d" and "e" were inspired by my favorite red heads, the Hansen boys. They are always fun and full of energy, which is why I went with the bright colors.

 Meanwhile, I had a lot of fun with the whimsical letters too...while I am not a huge pink kinda girl, I really like the hot pink with the black. I thought the paper design behind the letter made it classy and fun. This was inspired by my favorite, freckle-less identical twin, Olivia.

Thankful Friday

Who doesn't love Friday? I know I sure do! Today, however, I am loving Friday even more! I am so very thankful today. Thankful to my sister Amber and my neighbor Nicole for placing my first orders with Mae Mae Creations! This is something I started because I truly love creating, I never in my wildest dreams thought others would enjoy...but I am so very thankful today that Amber and Nicole will soon be enjoying! Thank you ladies! I am also very thankful to Jaimee. When I logged onto my blog this afternoon, she is my first follower! Thank you Jaimee, for letting me know people are actually reading! Big hugs to you ladies!!! Have a wonderful weekend all!!!

Holy Hair!

So I met a great lady Monday morning. Her name is Suzie Stadler and she has the cutest hair bows! She has lots of great hats, clips, bows, tutu skirts...pretty much anything you can think of. She also showed me how to layer puffs and flowers and bows (oh my!). After picking up several pretty little things, I realized I didn't have any good way of storing them. Enter hair clip holder! I have seen things like this before but have never attempted to create. I have to admit I am really happy with the way this one turned out! For all of you with pretty little girls in your life, definitely look Suzie up! You can find her here on Facebook!

Twins...again!

Welcome to "Mae Mae Creations"!  I love to create customized decor, especially for babies/kids rooms. With much encouragement from my sister Amber, I have decided to go public.  My first post highlights my activities over the weekend. I threw a baby "sprinkle" for my lovely sister Kayla who is expecting twins....AGAIN! If anyone is capable of handling all this, it is definitely her!

 

I am new to blogging, so please be patient with me.  More good things are to come!
