A Fun Adoption Portfolio

When you adopt domestically, an adoption portfolio book is very important.  It is a book that represents your family!  It is all about who you are, how you live, what is important to you and what your values are. 

I love working on adoption portfolio books…it’s an honor and there is so much heart that goes into each and every one.  I recently completed an adoption portfolio for the Shelton family…what a special family! 

Sheltons…  It was an absolute true pleasure to be a small part of your special journey!  May you hear good news very, very soon!  Please keep in touch!  : D

I have been busy, busy!  I have been working on seasonal card designs all week.  It is my hope to be able to offer them again this year!  I hope to have new cards and ordering information up within a week or so!  This is the only time of the year that I offer cards.  God bless,

Not So Random Stuff

“Nothing in life is random, there's a purpose and a reason for everything that we encounter. That's the reason for this blog: to capture and remember the not so random occurrences, the rich events that make life what it is.”

Don’t you just love that?  That is what Gina, the author of the blog “Not So Random Stuff” , has to say regarding the purpose of her blog.  Gina’s blog is SO inspiring…  The posts are all about faith, family and making a house a home.  And, she features truly wonderful photos in her blog posts!  Her blog is the latest blog on my “must read” list!  And, I am SO in love with the design that we put together…check it out:

You just have to visit Gina’s blog in person!  I think that you will decide that you must add “Not So Random Stuff” to your list of reads!

Thanks again, Gina!  You are a dream to work with!

God bless,

A New Look for Susie Harris

Have you visited www.susieharrisblog.com?  If not, you should! Susie’s blog is filled with inspirational DIY projects and design ideas for your home. Susie also has a very cool Etsy shop that is filled with all sorts of fun goodies including customized family name signs (I have one hanging in my kitchen…love it!) 

Susie sent me and email recently and said that she was ready to give her blog a new look.  Although we will miss the beautiful blue from her previous blog design, her new design is lovely…it's fresh, clean and oh-so-Susie.  : )

Below, you will see the previous design that Susie and I designed together…I will admit, I have some serious love for this design…hee hee…but everyone needs a change now and then…  ; D

And, here is the NEW Susie Harris blog design…

The banner was created using a photograph that Susie took of one of the baskets in her home.  Isn’t this a fun idea for a banner?

Thanks again, Susie for trusting me with your blog!  It is always so much fun to work with you…you are so creative and talented!  I love trying out new and fun ideas for your blog!

God bless, Tera

All You Can Do is TRI

It is always a pleasure to design for Kelly.  : D  This is the second blog project that I have helped Kelly with.  : D  The title of Kelly’s new blog is:  “All You Can Do is TRI”…the tagline for her blog is “From Couch Potato to Triathlete in Ten Months or BUST!”  Don’t you just love that?!  Kelly is currently training for a triathlon and I put together a blog for her so that she can blog about her journey…her new blog is both inspiring and fun!

Kelly chose a BLOGwear design for her blog that uses a predesigned BLOGwear kit from The Shabby Shoppe.  I highly recommend BLOGwear blogs…they are fabulous!  If you are interested in a BLOGwear blog, check out the predesigned BLOGwear kits at The Shabby Shoppe…make sure to view all of the kits…there are THREE pages of gorgeous kits to choose from!  Once you find a kit that you love, contact me…I will purchase the kit on your behalf and we will then begin your BLOGwear blog customization and installation!

Mi Sol

I had the privilege to meet Carrie Pagliaro, a sweet and amazingly talented photographer and fellow “Guatemama” to two adorable children, during our adoption processes.  I was so honored when Carrie asked me if I would be willing to help her to create a web presence for her photography business.  Carrie chose to go with a blogsite for her business website.  Her blogsite will be used both as a website and as a blog.  Visit Carrie’s new blogsite, Misol Photography, and enjoy browsing through her beautiful, warm new home on the web!  You are simply wonderful, Carrie!  You are an incredible photographer and I just know that your business will be a great success!
