Saidee's Book

2009-08-06T15:50:00.002-07:00

Little Miss Saidee is another friend of Stella's who now has her very own personalized book!

KayDee is so good, she is totally caught up on Saidee's baby book and she just needed a fun cover to complete it! Thanks for inspiring me to get back to work on Stella's book, I am a slacker!

Hudson and Jaxon

2009-07-31T14:44:00.004-07:00

These are two books for Stella's buddies, Hudson and Jaxon. The little guys weren't very interested in them but the moms were very happy!

3 More Albums

2009-07-14T14:45:00.004-07:00

Stephannie and I haven't had a chance to meet up yet so I can give her these books but I am hoping she'll see them in person before she looks at the blog! I made two children's albums and one for her family pictures.

4 New Albums + 1 Birthday Hat

2009-07-05T00:11:00.005-07:00

I have completed and delivered this order to Jen so it's now safe to post the pictures of the albums that were designed for her 3 kids and then for her family photos.

Her little girl is turning one next week (Happy Birthday Aubree!) so I created a birthday hat for her

Thanks for your order Jen, I am happy that you like the books!

Stetson and Adalyn

2009-06-11T22:46:00.006-07:00

I received an order for 2 brag books. The first one is for a little boy named "Stetson" in a requested cowboy-western theme ...

The second book was for a little girl named "Adalyn" in a pink and brown theme

Thse books are approximately 5"x7" in size with blank cardstock pages on the inside where pictures, thoughts, quotes, or journaling can be added. For the price of $25 they make a great personalized gift for a shower, birthday, anniversary, or just because. They have been popular with the baby theme but as demonstrated below, they can also be designed to display your favorite moments with your family!

All orders can be placed by either leaving a comment on this blog or by sending an email to daintydumplings@gmail.com

Brag Books

2009-05-11T15:02:00.002-07:00

I hate to post these pictures because the client probably hasn't actually received them in the mail yet but I couldn't resist showing how cute they turned out! :)

The first book is for a baby girl named Madison

The second book is for a baby girl named Eden

Marsha, these books are on their way to you in California, thank you for your order!

New Stuff

2009-04-29T23:13:00.006-07:00

I have been meaning to post a few orders that I completed this past month and I keep forgetting to put these pictures up. Finally I have a free moment so here we go ...

I started the month off by making 60 of these graduation announcements for a dear friend.

Graduation Announcements (front cover)

Graduation Announcements (picture and wording insert)

I was also hired to create some gift certificates for Bella Mena Photography (check out the website at www.bellamena.blogspot.com)

And last but not least I put together a pack of Thank You cards for a client as well

So there's what I've been working on this month. Check back soon for more updates!

Baby Shower Invitations

2009-02-06T02:29:00.003-07:00

Here is another template for invitations. This one was used for a baby shower but it would be a good style for bridal showers and thank you cards too.

Birthday Hats

2009-02-02T21:01:00.002-07:00

I am also making custom birthday hats. Stella wore hers on her 1st birthday last month and it was a hit! I can do any color combination or theme. Just send me your requests!

New Stuff

2009-01-28T18:35:00.003-07:00

I know, it's been too long since I have posted on here with items but the Holidays came along and then it got a little crazy. I had 2 new orders last week and I thought I would show you what I have been working on ...

Bridal Shower Invitations - This was a really fun idea. They requested that the invitations include assignments for different "baskets" for around the house and holidays. It was so much fun to make these, I loved the colors that she picked!

Baby Brag Book - My friend Melanie asked me to make a brag book for her new little nephew that is going to be arriving later this month. I was so excited to hear that her colors were turqouise and brown because I had this DARLING paisley patterned paper that I wanted to use! I think it turned out really good, and the best part was that Melanie loved it!

So that's what I've been working on lately. I have another project that is almost done and I will make sure to put it on here once I'm finished!

Wee Ones

2008-12-12T14:42:00.003-07:00

I wanted to post a few pictures of the newborn beanies that I have been making for a neighbor. These hats are so fun!

This picture will show you the difference in sizes ... The smaller one generally fits 0-6 months and the larger hat is a 6-18 month.

For The Boys

2008-12-12T14:27:00.005-07:00

There is a definite lack of stylish hats for baby boys to wear so I am on a mission to make some adorable ones for the baby boys out there! Their little heads have to stay warm through the winter season and they also make a darling prop for any photo sessions that you might have with your little guy.

Boys can't have ribbons and flowers so the pom pom on the top of the boy beanie adds a little flare.

I am currently working on a few different color combinations for baby boy hats so I will post pictures as soon as I am finished!

Baby Brag Books

2008-11-15T00:13:00.002-07:00

I am getting a lot of questions regarding these Baby Brag Books. They do make a darling shower gift so I thought I would post a detailed description (including large pictures) for everyone ....

QUICK FACTS
- The books are 8" by 8" squares with a wire ring bound left hand side.

- There are 10 blank pages which are double sided so they can be either a 10 page album or 20 page album.

- The pages are a light cream color so they will be easy to decorate or write in journaling and fun facts.

- The front and back covers are made out of wood and can be painted any color by request. My standard cover colors are brown, black, and white.

- The center of the front cover can have either the baby's name, the baby's initial(s), or a word (i.e. precious, miracle, blessing, baby, etc)

- When completed, the books will have both of the wood covers painted, and the front cover will be decorated with the color theme requested.

Here is an example of the Brag Book I did for my daughter

Here is an example of the Brag Book with a baby boy theme. The "W" could be for either the first or last name.

I am not a mother of boys so I am not certain if tying ribbons on the wire rings would be too girly. If you order one of the boy books and would like ribbon on the side, please let me know and I am happy to add it for you!

Thank you for everyone who has generated so much interest in these books, they would make a wonderful personalized gift for a friend or maybe you should treat yourself and get one for your baby or child!

Funky Infant and Toddler Beanies

2008-11-11T01:13:00.003-07:00

I design, make, and sell these way cute beanies ....

Remember, these are just some of the premade examples that I have. There are so many fun color combinations that it would be an overload if I posted my entire collection. You can have a custom order made to match a favorite coat or outfit, and they make darling Birthday, Christmas, or Baby Shower gifts!

(If you would like to order a beanie, please refer to the ordering information on the right hand side of the page.)
