it's beginning to look alot like....

Yup. That's right. We are pulling out the wintry white branches and silver balls, wrapping packages and decking the mantle - all for one day. We are doing a yuletide photo shoot for our holiday interior decorating promo. More on that coming soon...very soon.

We are also busy little elves (sorry, couldn't resist) working on some new Christmas card designs. Bringing three people together, each with their own design style, can be very interesting - and inspiring. What is it they say? "Variety is the spice of life?" Something like that. Well, it certainly enlivens our weekly ideating sessions. These cards will be unlike any others you've seen! Jolly. Colorful. Unique. Lovely. Entertaining. Classic. Modern. Antique. That's right - we do it all. And we look forward to sharing them with you soon. very soon.

To give you a little hint of what our holiday offerings will be like, here are some of the things that are inspiring us lately: woodland themes, teal yarn, antique books, felt and fabric, security envelope designs, shades of blue and green, his breathtaking installations, wooden snowflakes, clear glass and shining silver...just to name a few!

With the current flurry of festivity in air, we may even have to pull out the Bing Crosby Songs of Christmas record before (gulp) Thanksgiving.

Happy (pre)Holidays Everyone!
