Meet Danielle {and her really amazing quilts!}

Hi friends! So excited to continue with Sponsor Week by introducing Danielle to you!

Here's a little bit about my new friend:

Hello. I’m Danielle and I created the Wedding Photo Signature QuiltTM, a Savvy update Beyond the traditional quilt. I started making baby quilts in 2008 for most of my friends since I had entered the “baby shower” phase. During this time, I was planning my wedding & wanted to incorporate my love for quilting into my wedding and that’s how the Wedding Photo Signature QuiltTM was born. The Quilt shows the signatures of the wedding guest along with photos from the couple’s wedding day. We offer 45 Quilt designs and over 500 fabrics. The Quilt can be coordinated with the theme and/or colors of the day. The possibility for creativity is endless. Since I created a unique idea for my day, I wanted to share it with all the brides looking to add some creative flair to their day as well. Orange Panda DesignsTM is a web based company that allows brides to shop, order, and create 24/7.

How cool is that?!?

And here are a few pictures of her quilts in action!

And here's a close up of just one of LOTS of options!

{Pictures will be added to quilt below!}

Meet Molly {and a great photo shoot deal!}

Hi friends! So excited to introduce my friend Molly to you! Molly is Kristin's Kreations very first sponsor! I personally have benefited from Molly's fantastic photography skills...

and I am excited to introduce my friend to you!

Hi I'm Molly. I have been a photographer for five years now, but more recently started focusing on my photography business. I currently work as a newborn photographer with Bella Baby Photography. In my personal business, I specialize in portrait and event photography. What I love most in photography, is the photojournalistic style- telling a story with an image. I have a very down to earth personality and I want my photography to reflect that. Please stop by my site to take a look, and let me know if you'd be interested in scheduling a photo session.

And here are a couple of my favorite shots

that she captured of my little family!

She's offering you, my friends a special deal!

The first three that book her for a photo shoot will get 50% off

The next five will get 25% off

Perfect timing for those Christmas cards we're all

currently working on!

Take a moment to go tell my friend Molly hello!

Jude Robert, You Are 38 Weeks Old

And that's exactly how long you were in my tummy. As of today at 1:45am, you've been on the "outside" longer than you've been on the "inside." You are every bit of wonderment to your daddy and I. I can hardly believe that you are soon to be 9 months old....before I know it, we'll be celebrating your 1st birthday...

and then sending you off to college.

Here we are:

38 weeks pregnant--just a few hours before we met you...

Our very first picture as a family of three--

within minutes of you coming into our lives

Click here for your Happy Birthday Post!

And here we are now--at 38 weeks old

Well technically 37 weeks, 5 days

on your First Thanksgiving!

And just for old times sake:

According to thebump:

your baby is 38 weeks old!

Baby's understanding of what's going on around him is improving every day. Start making simple requests like, "Give me the ball," and help him out by showing him what you mean and how to do it. Before you know it, he'll be following your directions on his own. Even without your prompting, he may start trying to give you things like his toys or food. Accept his offer and give him praise -- these are his first attempts at sharing! His awareness of cause and effect is also improving, which makes toys that allow him to grab, push, or manipulate things for an effect (piano keys, doorknobs, etc.) great options.

I love you Goose. So grateful you are in my life.

We may have lured people to our table with

chips & salsa.

Maybe.

Sunday afternoon it was crunch time for the ICE POP UP SHOP.This was the sweatshop....thankful for my peeps.

At one point Aunt Mia took over Jude duty....

Once the sweatshop was over,

the fam headed downtown ATL to drop off
