"I JUST LIKE IT THE WAY I LIKE IT"

I say this all the time and my hubby thinks it's funny…

Funny, maybe…

BUT TRUE!

Doesn't everyone just like it the way they like it?!?

Ever listen to customers place ordes at starbucks?...case in point

That's why Custom Card Orders are SO amazing!

Take a look at this cutie patootie…





Her mom was inspired by the
L
OVEly onesie she is wearing in her photo and wanted a birth announcement that incorporated the famous song by the Beatles…

I was inspired by the fun "bubble" pattern and decided it would be a playful graphic to put on the card.

How adorable is she with her big brother?!?



SO…do you have an event or celebration that you need just the right card for?…email us…let us know your idea and we would love to collaborate something perfect just for you.

And despite what you think, a custom card doesn't have to break the bank. It's what we love to do…

And we promise, you won't be disappointed…How could you??...Cuz we will make it "JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT"

come fly with me!
In August we were hired by a dear friend to plan her son's Baptism Reception. Not only were we very excited as it was our first "Full-Service" Party Planning Gig, but we felt honored that she would entrust us with every last detail for such an important day.
Stephanie came up with a brilliant theme...KITES. We were hooked immediately…
Bring on the IDEAS
shades of blue…sky, clouds, celestial…
seer sucker fabric…flowers and wheat grass…
clean, fresh and pure…playful and sweet…
everything little Sammy is!

AND…since nothing we do is UN-intentional…
{ a kite, by nature, has a crosst built right in }
Now how is that for tying it all together?!

Don't worry!!...you don't have to try and imagine it all…just scroll down for some amazing pictures from the day.

Thank you again to Zena and her family for letting us be a part of Sam's big day…we are still SOARING with excitement about it!:)


 










 




congratulations sammy!
cheers!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1….blast off! Today we LAUNCH!


Are two heads better than one?
                                        We sure think so!Many have asked…
"When can I check out your website?....Is your website ready?...."
The answer…for so long has been…. "Nope…but we're getting close!"
You see….when you have 2 creative minds join forces and start a business – really great things can happen. Our cup runeth over with new thoughts, plans, and great ideas....
lots and lots of ideas!

 It's a domino effect….kinda like the way surfing the web can be – one click leads to another click and to another and so on and so forth, usually landing you somewhere distant from where you began.
Our ideas have been a lot like that…..one leading to another….each one creating new enthusiasm and fueling the next great ideaOf course all that enthusiasm takes time…time for planning, doing, and executing all these ideas.
And whew!....here we are…..finally!
Check us out and please let us know what you think. http://www.polkadotweekend.com/

Of course we realized throughout it all that building a website, just like building a new business, is a process and will be forever evolving. Which is great because these ideas in our heads keep evolving, keep surfacing…..new ones every day!

 
We are excited to now have a working website you can visit anytime you need our products or services……and, of course!, this blog, which we will be updating frequently to showcase our latest projects and offer you inspiration for some creative ideas of your own!

 
Please come back and visit us often,  join our contact page for email updates and ENJOY!
cheers!
