I would like to welcome you all from the SITS blog.  Thank you so much for stopping by to get in on the giveaway!!

Here’s a little bit about me:

I’m a SAHM of 2 children.  I started my business as a way to be able to continue to stay home with them in addition to paying for the ‘extra’ little stuff we like to do.  I also have found a cause that is near and dear to my heart which is Children’s Hope Chest and the Red Letters Campaign.  BOTH of these organizations have partnered up to “Launch the Ethiopia Project” where together they are working on getting children and orphanages sponsored in that country.  30% of ALL of my sales goes back to these organizations to help this launch.  I also hope to join them in March to go to Ethiopia and check out all that they are doing.

Enough about me, I know you really want to know how to win a set of really cool cards!! IF you are the lucky number drawn you will get to choose between a set of 20 Christmas Cards OR a ‘Box’ Set of cards. We will hook up over email for you to answer some questions, so that I can design the best set of cards for you that I can.

So, my very favorite client Michelle, ordered a set of boy’s birthday cards and a set of girl’s birthday cards before I even had her first order shipped!!  She has been gracious and patient with me getting these out to her.  She was looking for cards to put in with the birthday gifts for the parties that her children attend.  Here is what I made for her:

Envelopes:There are two styles since Michelle’s son likes football and soccer.

So I have a cousin in Virginia that just had her second baby girl, Molly.  I can’t wait to see more pictures of her!!  Here are her announcements.  She needed 40, so 20 were a gift and 20 her mom purchased….they were lots of fun to make as soon as I found some Suzy’s Zoo stamps!!!  And to top that off, that was what my nursery was for Perryn, so I sent her my bumpers too!!

So my cousin, Jessica, in Burnet got married last weekend!!  It was so fun to be able to go see that side of the family again. The wedding was at their family ranch and we got to go back the next day and ride some horses.  Check out those fun pictures here.   These are the thank yous that I made for her as a gift.

So my good friend Natalie just had her little boy, Luke, on Monday night.  I hear all is going well, and decided to send her some thank yous.  I wanted to coordinate something close to her nursery theme.  Check it out here to see if I achieved that goal…

So, I got my very first ‘real’ order from Michelle out in Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago.  I was so excited and a little shocked at the same time.  Michelle ordered a set of postcards, 2 ‘box’ sets of cards, the bugs and bouquests thank yous, and a ladybug card.  Here’s what everything looked like bundled and ready to ship.  You can see the individual cards on their prospective pages.

I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as i enjoyed making them.  In fact, Michelle has already placed another order.  Check back here to see what that is order is in the next week or so…I now have to go back to creating…I have 3 more orders to fill…woohoo…

Thank you God for your goodness!!  I can’t wait to see what else God does with my little business and how I can help the orphans of Ethiopia!!!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up….there will be 2 gift certificates up for grabs on the Red Letters Campaign Raffle that will be coming up in the next few weeks.  The raffle is taking place online, so visit RLC to find out how you can win one of these sets.  Your choices will be a set of Thank yous, a ‘box’ set, or a set of Christmas Cards.  All designed to your specifications if you win!!

Also, more importantly I have donated a set of cards of your choice to an auction for Passion Africa – A Night for Orphans in Africa.  This auction is taking place in Colorado, so be on the look out for this if you are at the RLC event on Saturday, Aug 9th.

These are for my friend Sarah up in the Highland Village/Lewisville area.  She is going to be so surprised when she gets them.  With the help of her husband’s assistant I was able to get all the details when the baby arrived as well as learning what the nursery colors are.  Congratulations, Sarah and Blake.  We hope to get to meet baby Eden soon!!

So Shay over at the Jenkinson Family won my portion of the Tip Junkie giveaway last week.  I apologize for it taking so long to get these out, but here they are.  Shay chose to the Thank You notes.  She told me she likes pink, brown, blue, spots, and stripes….this is what I came up with for her.  Enjoy

I am still working to get this webpage set up, until then, please visit me at www.elizabethengelhardtcreations.blogspot.com
