A note full of love

For you see, each day I love you more 

Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.

Valentinesday is the perfect moment to share your love with the ones you love.


Now that I am married there isn't as much excitement over cards and who they are from. I doubt it whether there will be cards at all. My dear husband isn't the real romantic type that sends me cards. 


He isn't that bad. Takes home sweets and candies very often and shows his love for me during the week but if I am hoping for flowers I have to leave some very clear hints. (like a note or something). I normaly use whatever paper there is around. Envelopes, post-its, newspaperclippings, etc. 


But now I decided to make my love something more special. Valentines notepapers. And you get to have it as well. You can print as many (or as few) as you like to leave your loved ones a special note. You get 2 different notes. Click on the images to download the notes.

Welcome wonder

Every birth is the beginning of a wonderfull journey.

I so love baby's. I love the smell, the tiny feet, the small nails and the little movement. Every bit as adorable as the next.
My own family is big enough now so I don't ever get to experience it again for my own. Not that I mind, 3 kids is more than a hand full sometimes but I still regret it some days that I will never ever hold a tiny baby of my own.

Lucky for me, a lot of friends around me are still young enough to start a family and are doing so a lot. I still get to hold a baby every once in a while.

My sweet neighbour asked me the other day if I would design a giftpackage for her and it was to cute to leave it just for her. I started with a square box but I soon realised it could not hold more then a pacifier or a pair of socks. And I like to give more. I usually go to the store to pick out a nice shirt, a little hat or a pair of soft babybooties.
So I designed a pillowbox. Just big enough for the tiny shirt or a little onsie. I hope you enjoy this little gift.

Download it here. Or click on the link profided in the preview below.

If you want a custom pillowbox with the name of the newborn it is available in my etsyshop for a small fee.

Printable envelope

In this first week of the new year I am popping in to wish you all a happy new year. We had a lovely evening celebrating with friends and neighbours and the kids had a blast watching the fireworks display. I also wanted to share something I made earlier. This printable envelope has been waiting on my PC for a while now.

I use them as a giftbag for a small good luck card, a gift envelope for some money or a lovely little note for a loved one. A quick solution if you don't have time to go to the store for a present or a card.
And the best thing? You can use it over and over again.

Download the PDF here, print it at 100%, cut out the envelopes, and slip in a note or a small gift.
I've also posted a collection of 10 printable envelopes with different designs in my etsy shop. For even more events and occasions.
