My New Website.

2008-02-15T19:15:00.000-06:00

Hey, hey, hey!

I have a brand new designs website, called Teebow's.

I decided to do an entire overhaul of my deisgns "business" & get a more professional looking website, after I saw how cute the new Popular Baby Products website looked.

So, check it out & let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions.

Right now, it's just bare-bones, if you will, because I'm still getting things the way I want them.

I would like to get my own website icon button, so if you know how I can make one, please let me know! How fun would that be?

AND, IF I COULD ASK A FAVOR?

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE add my NEW WEBSITE to your blog list.

PLEASE?

I'll be your bestest friend, ever!

I will continue to leave this site up for a while.

My Latest Project

2008-02-07T10:19:00.000-06:00

This is a frame I did for my friend, Alissa's, nephew for his birthday! He REALLY likes trains. I think this one turned out pretty good. I ended up re-doing the train at the top 3 times!

I also wanted to tell you that BIG changes are coming to my website...including a new name & a brand new look. Be looking for it after February 11th.

40 Note Cards, 6 Name Frames, 5 Weeks.

2007-12-24T22:53:00.000-06:00

Whew!

I have been so, so, so busy these last 5 weeks with Christmas orders.

I finally finished LAST NIGHT with the last of 6 Name Frames.

(You can see the other frames & note cards by scrolling down to previous posts).

These 3 frames are for my nephew & my 2 niece's for Christmas from my husband & me.

My nephew LOVES the Arkansas Razorbacks. His room is FULL of Hog stuff...including a signed football from the former coach, Houston Nutt.

Suzanne likes butterflies & her room is blue. Well, it's a light blue, but I think (hope) this will work well against her wall.

Madeline is a princess in every sense of the word. In fact, she & Suzanne were princesses for Halloween this year!

New Note Cards

2007-12-20T19:16:00.000-06:00

My mom ordered 4 sets of 6 note cards to give to my stepdad's family for Christmas. These were a bit more challenging than other note cards, because I only did each couple's initial. Normally, I do an entire first name. And, I also did my 1st set for a male (my stepdad's brother), so I had to be careful & not do flowers or polka-dots!

One of 6 I did for my stepdad's mom & her husband

One of 6 I did for my stepdad's brother

One of 6 I did for my stepdad's brother & his wife

One of 6 I did for my stepdad's sister & her husband

Want To Place An Order?

Kathy's Note Cards

2007-12-14T04:05:00.000-06:00

Whew...I've been so busy & I'm still not finished with my Christmas orders! But, I'm close & they're looking good.

This is a set of 8 cards that I did for my step-brother's mother-in-law. I had a lot of fun making these & I hope that Tiffany, Brad & Kathy like them!

Kate's Name Frame

2007-12-06T19:46:00.001-06:00

Here's the frame I did for my friend, Lindsey, to give to her niece Kate, for Christmas. Kate's a MAJOR girly-girl princess, which is the reason behind all the pink & green & princess stuff! Lindsey's sister's family is moving into a new house & Kate's getting her own room (she's been sharing one with her brother), so Lindsey wanted to get her something for her new room that would say, "This is Kate's room!". I believe this will work!

New Note Cards

2007-12-04T19:41:00.000-06:00

Wow! It's been a while since I made note cards...at least 5 months or so. These are for my step-brother's wife, Tiffany, to give to a mom in her "mom's group" for Christmas.

I also have another note card order for Tiffany & my mom put in 4 orders of 6 cards to give to people for Christmas.

Thompson Name Frame.

2007-11-30T18:32:00.000-06:00

Here's my latest frame. This one's for my friend, Kimmy. She's giving it to a friend of hers for Christmas. She asked for a "mermaid" or "underwater" theme. After searching for about 5 weeks for mermaids (beside The Little Mermaid), I switched to Plan B. I really like how this one turned out. I like the colors a lot & I think the fish & the bubbles are a nice touch.

I used my new Circut machine to cut the waves. I like how they turned out too!

Changes Ahead...

2007-11-29T16:52:00.000-06:00

I have decided that my website looks a little drab.

So, for the next few days, I'll be making some changes.

I'm very excited about what I have in mind, so please continue to check back for updates.

I also have a new frame to post pictures of tonight, so be sure to look out for that!

Emma's Frame.

2007-11-16T11:09:00.000-06:00

Here's the frame I did for my step-brother's daughter, Emma. I think it turned out really cute. My step-brother's wife, Tiffany, decorated Emma's room in brown & pink. I know the background of the frame looks black, but it's really dark brown! And, I posted 2 angles of the frame because in the top picture, you can't really see the green stem of the flowers, but on the bottom picture, you can.

My "Business Cards".

2007-10-16T17:35:00.000-06:00

My step-brother's wife, Tiffany, suggested several months ago, that I get some type of business card to attach to the frames & note cards I make.

I took her advice to heart, & ordered these!

This way, the people I make stuff for, can pass along my information to their friends, & so on.

Thanks, Tiffany.

Another Frame "On Display".

2007-10-15T17:27:00.000-06:00

My blogging friend, Kimmy, took pictures of the frame I did for her baby girl, Tatum.

I think it turned out well. When I mailed it to her (in South Carolina), I could barely wait for Kimmy to open it & let me know what she thought.

She says it looks really good in Tatum's room. And, as you can see, I did my best to match the frame to the border in her room.

Kimmy has since ordered 2 more frames from me!

My Latest Venture. Party Invitations.

2007-08-16T18:44:00.000-06:00

My friend, Cecillea, & I are giving our other friend, Brandis, a wedding shower in September. Matt's been telling me I need to do party invitations, so this was a perfect opportunity to give it a try. We could have ordered them from Hallmark or whatever, but doing them myself was a lot cheaper.

I bought the invites with the border already on them & came up with a message, typed it out & printed it out on the cards. Then, I put vellum sheets over the invites & tied it all together with the brown & pink ribbon & "love" charms.

Out of a scale of 1 to 10...1 being horrible & 10 being awesome, I'd give these a 7.

There are some things I learned while making these that will make it easier in the future.

On this picture below, I know you can't see the type because the picture came out blurry, but you get the idea.

What do you think?

Tatum's Frame.

2007-08-16T16:45:00.001-06:00

This is a frame I did for a blogging friend of mine in South Carolina.

Tatum is her baby daughter, born just a few months ago.

Kim sent me pictures of the nursery, which is what I based my colors & design on.

I think it turned out really well.

What do you think?

Jessica's Name Frame.

2007-08-07T11:30:00.000-06:00

So, here's the frame I did for a friend's co-worker, who's leaving for college this month.

She'll be attending the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, home of the Razorbacks, hence the Hogs on either side of her name.

Anyway, I like this one. I think it turned out pretty cool.

What do you think?

A Graduation Project.

2007-08-04T21:59:00.000-06:00

This is a frame I did for my mom's step-niece for her graduation from UCA with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

My mom gave me the graduation announcement to put in a frame.

I wasn't sure what to do with it, but I think it turned out okay.

My mom & step-dad seemed to like it.

Up next is a frame for my friend Susan, my friend Kimmy & some party invitations for my friend's bridal shower.

New Name Frame.

2007-07-30T15:31:00.000-06:00

So, here's Christian's name frame that I did for a friend of mine. This is the one that I was having trouble finding stuff for. The theme is Baby Snoopy. And, I realize you can't really see the Snoopy paper, but it's there. How do you think it turned out?

Jillian's Name Frame.

2007-07-12T17:39:00.000-06:00

This is the frame I did for my friend, Sonseeahray. A friend of hers just had twins a few weeks ago & Sonseeahray asked me to do a frame for Jillian & a frame for Christian.

Christian's will be Baby Snoopy. But, the paper I ordered for his won't be here for a few more days.

After I finish Christian's, I need to finish two others. One for my friend, Susan & then one for my friend, Kim.

These frames are getting easier now because I've got my method down & I'm NOT staining ANY MORE FRAMES!! Amen. Even though it was cheaper, that's the part that took FOREVER & I just got tired of my house smelling like stain! Ugh.

Anyway, as always...please order something. Do you see that handy-dandy PayPal logo to the right of the page? That means I take credit cards!! How easy is that???

One of My Designs on Display.

2007-07-10T13:01:00.000-06:00

Ok, so it's not like on display at a museum or whatever, but the name frame I did for my friend, Sydney's mom, is hung up on the wall over the crib she's using for her new grandson, Hunter.

It matches the bedding almost perfectly.

Wow. My work is up there for all her friends to see.

I'm so excited!!!!

Just wanted to share it with you guys!

Lyn's Note Cards.

2007-06-13T11:46:00.001-06:00

Here are a set of 8 note cards I did for my mom, as a gift from my step-brother & his wife, for her birthday.

This was kind of a last minute order, but I finished it in time to mail them today.

They'll hopefully get to Texas by Friday, in time for my mom's visit.

Judy's Note Cards

2007-06-10T13:05:00.000-06:00

So, I finished Judy's note cards.

I did a set of 4, but I was in such a hurry to get them mailed out to my aunt, that I forgot to take pictures of the other 2.

My aunt got them in the mail the other day & loved them.

I will have some new posts on Tuesday, after I finish the cards for my mom.

Connor's Name Frame.

2007-05-30T10:47:00.000-06:00

Here's the frame I did for my friend, Susan's, son.

I think it turned out really cute.

If you can't tell, he's a soccer fan.

I have to finish the note cards for my aunt's friend & I have a few new orders that I'm really excited about.

As always, I ask you TO ORDER SOMETHING ALREADY!

Please.

Mother's Day Project

2007-05-11T09:24:00.000-06:00

Here's the big Mother's Day project I FINALLY finished! Well, I had to finish it by today, because it's for Sunday.

Anyway, this is a project I did for my friend, Kim.

She wanted something unique to give to her mom...because she says her mom has everything.

Isn't this a cute idea? Kim came up with it, I just put it all together.

The picture on the left is Kim & the one on the right is her sister, Lyn.

Now, I have a name frame to do for my friend, Susan. Well, it's for her son, Connor.

Then, I have some note cards to make.

As always, I'll post them when I finish.

New Name Frames!

2007-05-04T09:33:00.000-06:00

So, I finally finished the order for my friend, Pete.

I really like how Walter's turned out, but I'm not 100% convinced that I like Alice's.

What do you think?

Now, I have a big project for my friend, Kim...which WILL BE finished by next week because it's for her mom for Mother's Day. Then, I have to finish some note cards for my Aunt's friend.

Then, I will be orderless. So, ORDER SOMETHING, PLEASE!!!!

Payton's Frame

2007-04-04T20:32:00.000-06:00

Here's the 2nd frame for my friend, Melissa, to give to her niece, Payton.

The 1st frame I did was for Rowan.

(See 2 posts down).

I had fun with this one because I got the idea for it as I was driving to Hobby Lobby, so I bought ONLY what materials I would need for it.

Upcoming Projects:

Alice's frame (for my friend Pete)

Walter's frame (for my friend Pete)

a Mother's Day project (for my friend Kim)

All occasion note cards for my aunt's friend

I know I say this all the time, but I WANT MORE ORDERS!

So, let me know if I can do something for you!

Hunter's Frame

2007-03-30T09:43:00.000-06:00

This is the name frame I made for my friend, Sydney's, nephew.

It's for her mom for Mother's Day because Hunter is the first grandchild.

I used these colors because they're the colors Sydney's mom is using to decorate Hunter's little room in her house...so he has a place to sleep when he comes to visit.

I had a lot of fun making this one. It was a little difficult, though, because I couldn't use flowers or girlie colors...but, nonetheless, I think it turned out great.

***************

So, now I have to finish the 2nd frame for my friend, Melissa.

I did Rowan's frame, now I have to finish Peyton's.

I also got 2 new orders from my friend, Pete.

I'm doing a really cute girlie one for his niece, Alice & a cars & trucks one for his nephew, Walter.

And, I have a really big project for a friend of mine to give to her mom for Mother's Day.

WHEW!

But, I want more, so order up!

Rowan's Frame

2007-03-27T09:41:00.000-06:00

Here's the frame I did for a co-worker's niece. I'm also doing another one for her other niece, but that one isn't completed yet.

Anyway, this one I re-did about 4 times. I'm a very big perfectionist & I'm not going to have someone pay me for something that I'm not happy with.

I do have several more orders to start & finish, but I want more.

So, if you'd like me to do one for you, just ask!

Now Accepting Credit Cards!

2007-03-17T21:35:00.001-06:00

I am pleased to announce that I now accept Credit Card orders on this website.

Take a look around & if you like something, let me know.

Because I hand make these items, once you purchase something, you'll still need to e-mail me to let me know the details of what you had in mind.

For example, if you order a set of note cards, I'll need to know your name, initials, your interests, etc. If you order a name frame, I'll need to know the name & colors.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Shopping!

Holiday Cards

2006-12-30T15:21:00.000-06:00

This Christmas, I made my own "thank you" cards to send out to my family for my Christmas gifts. Here are just a few examples. I can do "thank you" cards for baby shower gifts, birthday gifts, graduation gifts, wedding gifts & much, much more!

Simply Stated

2006-12-30T13:18:00.000-06:00

Here's just one example of what I call a "simple" design...clean lines with not a lot of fuss. I can do plaid, lines, circles & much more.

Sports

2006-12-30T11:11:00.000-06:00

Here are a few examples of cards with a sport theme.

I can do any sport or if you prefer, I can do notecards in the theme of your favorite team. Right now, however, I can only do football teams & some baseball (i.e. Cubs, Cardinals, NY Yankees).

Flower Power

2006-12-30T10:05:00.000-06:00

Here are a few examples of flowers & insects!

I can do any kind of flowers or bugs.

And, I like to play around with colors.

If you like the idea of these cards, I can work with you on what kind of design you want, as well as if you want your name or just your initials.

Welcome Visitors!
