"D" is also for my darling daughter, who has recently become quite fascinated by all-things dinosaurs. Fabulous! And, with her exorbitant amounts of pink and purple in her wardrobe, she will certainly make one very stylish paleontologist one day. So once again, she inspires me. I find myself on the hunt to dig up dinosaurs in ribbons and coated fabrics to add them to my designs...despite my daughter's wish to save them all for her very own crafting. I guess we inspire each other -- now how awesome is that? Well...downright divine!

And, while you're at it, check out these dinosaur-inspired items from my fellow EtsyKids team members. So creative and fun...they're positively ROAR~ific!

I love custom orders. I really do. Not only do they give me the chance to create something special for a customer, 99 percent of the time they lead to a new design or product.

Recently, I had a customer order a large quantity of Write Drink Tags for her sister's bridal shower luncheon she is hosting this coming May. As we discussed pricing, I had a surprise "aha" moment - for a special event like this, how fun would it be to tailor the packaging to reflect the bride's special day. Hello, genius! After all, in my former life I was a communications director + graphic designer. How brilliant, I could marry two of my loves and offer my customer a truly unique bridal luncheon favor.

Today, I happily shipped out the customer's box of wine tag favors. Must say, I'm delighted with how they turned out. I created four concepts for the customer that used the wedding colors, and she ultimately choice this one (and my personal favorite!). Personalized drink tag favors are perfect for weddings, bridal showers, anniversary parties, wine parties and other festive celebrations. Thank your special guests with an extra special touch. Design and message are fully customizable. If you are interested in a bulk purchase of tags for favors, let's chat about it!

...and, by the way, the timing for this could not be more ideal. Why, you ask? Can't say just yet...but exciting details to come very, very soon!
