We have had a lot going on behind the scenes at Forever Family Designs… In October I have been faithfully working away at profiles, and have been notified by four families that hey have been matched or brought their babies home! Congratulations to all the new families! I was also able to get away for a few days to a photoshop conference which was a great experience both for inspiration and learning some great new tricks. We have also brought on a new designer, Megan Caston and are excited to see all the new designs she is working on.
Our super exciting news is that I have also been hard at work on a new website, and shoppe! While the website is not quite ready to go live yet we have our Shoppe up and ready to go for those of you waiting to place your Christmas Card orders. To celebrate the opening of The Shoppe, we will be offering 20% off of all of our Christmas Cards, Baby Announcements, and Custom Birth Mother gifts until the end of October. The coupon code for the savings is octsave09, hurry up and place your holiday order early and take advantage of the savings!
You will find The Shoppe located at http://theshoppe.nextproof.com be sure to bookmark it!
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.
We were contacted by Samuel’s mom to design a custom photo adoption announcement for him. They were leaving later that week to meet him in China and bring him home. We were happy to create a custom design that reflected his past and his future. Welcome home Samuel!

I just received a very nice email from a client. I completed her adoption profile design last week and had them soft bound and dropped shipped to her overnight. As soon as she received them she forwarded them on to her adoption agency and this is the email I then received from my client:
“The profile books are even better in person than I could have ever imagined! I got a call from my adoption agency and they just called to tell me in the 24 years they have been in business, that my profile was their favorite they had ever seen!!! That just made my day, and I wanted to share it with you!” -Laura
I really appreciate hearing any positive news from my design clients, it is really what motivates me in my job. Now I look forward to hearing when Laura is matched!
Here is a two page spread from Laura’s profile:
