Recently I have had babies on the brain - two of my friends are pregnant, my niece is pregnant (yay) and I have had a flood of baby shower invitation requests.
I remember one of the fun parts in planning for your baby is designing the nursery. I love the clean, modern and peaceful look of the cute rooms below.
a beautiful, modern nursery to welcome the newest family member.

I think I'm more of a powdered sugar kind of girl!
Now, how would you like to add a little panache to your personal stationery and make it reflect who you really are? Well my lovely readers - this is about to happen. I am so close to launching my new stationery line, which will feature the usual suspects, invitations for weddings, showers and soirees, along with a collection of my little "Glamour Girls" a perfectly stylish choice for your personal stationery.
This is how it will work - first you will pick your girl (introductions soon) and then you head on over to...
select your hair color...
then your skin tone...
and to completely pull together your look add your perfect shade of lipstick!
Voila!
It will all come together in your very personal and very customized stationery.
{this service will be available for shower invitations as well}
Soooooo...when is all this fabulousness going to happen? Very, very soon! And if you sign up for my newsletter (under my picture on the right) I will send you very special gift toward your first purchase.
Don't face today with dread, throw down the gauntlet and take on Monday. Put your hair in a french twist and wear red lipstick! Buy flowers, call a friend and meet for lunch, or go to the movies - mix it up!
But what about my "to do" list you ask?
It will be there tomorrow - I promise!
Friday at last - time to close that laptop and put on your cha cha shoes!
Enjoy your weekend.

I am absolutely thrilled to have Susi from DesignShuffle.com today as my guest blogger. Please enjoy her post about the delicious cool colors of sherbet. Welcome Susi!
I'm Susi and I write as a guest blogger for DesignShuffle.com, a fabulous social media site that promotes interior designers and their work from around the world. My writing focuses on things I'm passionate about: interior design, decorating ideas, home furnishings, gardening, cooking, travel and art. I get to look at gorgeous things all day and write about them. I'm a very lucky girl.
I am happy to visit Renee Rodriguez Designs for a guest post. Like Renee, I love vintage. Vintage clothes, accessories, home dÈcor and furniture fill my home. When Renee suggested a post about the cool colors of sherbet, I immediately thought of those old fashioned Push Up sherbet treats from the ice cream truck. Does anyone remember those? Sherbet colors of lemon, mint, raspberry and orange lend themselves well to mixing and matching in dÈcor and interiors. So inspired by sherbet and a love of vintage, I pulled some pics that show some great combinations of cool sherbet colors in dÈcor and decorating. Hope you enjoy them!

Cool blue looks lovely against a sherbety pink vintage bag. Not sure which I love more.

These pastel pics make me think of rainbow sherbet. Love the mix of pale pinks, peaches and rose against cool purples and blues. Even the warm colors have a blue or grey undertone that gives them a cooler feeling.

Cool yellow and raspberry pink create a lively yet cool feeling living room when mixed with loads of white. Minty blue green could be substituted for either the raspberry pink or lemony yellow for another cool sherbet palette. All would make for great living room designs.

Cool tone sherbets mix well together, as seen in this striped pillow from Urban Outfitters.

Cool minty green and lemon sorbet yellow create a fresh gender neutral palette in this nursery. Love the lively mix of colors. In fact, this color scheme would also work well in a grown-up bedroom design.

Pale sherbet colors painted on stair risers are unexpectedóand delightful. This combination has a beach feel to it.

Cool sherbets are perfect for a summer garden party. Lemon, mint and raspberry colors look wonderful paired with white.

A few weeks ago I shared a design for a Garden Party Invitation {here}.
Eventually I'll have photos of the actual party to share, but in the meantime, here is the final invitation and party favors I created for the little backyard soiree.
I made a template for the chrysanthemum and the cut out about 12 layers, curled the petals with my small sissors and then glue each set together - the final flower was about 6 inches wide.
The invitaitons were then hand delivered to the lucky guests .
A paper zinnia tops the favor boxs (to be filled with hot pink macaroons)
Small bejeweld zinnias adorn little flags for the party cupcakes.
A party not to be missed!
