Congratulations Laura… Welcome Hailey!

Sharon — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:32:27 +0000

While I am designing an adoption profile, I get to spend many hours getting to know the families I am working with, their stories and most of all their hopes and dreams of building their families through adoption. It is a huge honor and blessing when the families email or give me a call to let me know their long awaited little one has arrived.

Laura was no exception to this! I was happy to work with her last fall to design an adoption profile that reflected who she is, and the life she would provide a child to the expectant parents considering an adoption plan for their child.

I was able to rejoice with Laura just four short months when she emailed me to let me know she had her beautiful daughter in her arms. I was honored when she asked me to design an adoption announcement to welcome precious Hailey. Congratulations Laura… enjoy every moment of being a mommy!

Welcome our newest designer Megan Caston

Sharon — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:19:24 +0000

We are pleased to welcome Megan Caston to our design team!

Megan and her husband, Jeff, are the parents of three beautiful girls. When not designing Announcement, Cards, and custom Birth Mother gifts, you will find Megan digital scrapbooking, sewing/crafting new projects, decorating her home and others, baking yummy treats or hosting a get together. Megan and Jeff are personally touched and blessed by adoption; they are very close with their nephew who came home through domestic adoption. Megan has a great eye for design, and we are very excited to have her join our team and look forward to the diversity she will bring with her design. You can check out all of our announcements, cards, and custom birth mother gifts at our new Shoppe.
