{goodbye}&{giveaway}!

Looking at these photos makes me tear up.
While I am sad that the fabulous consultant role with Swanky Baby Vintage is over,
my tears are more than that. 
I WILL forever look at these photos & remember a time that was so good.
My journey began in the summer and rolled into a fabulous fall season here in Tennessee.
I was home with the babies, scheduling shows in-between splashing in the pool.
{sipping sweet tea and making sure my samples were ironed and hung beautifully}, 
making hostess gifts and talking on the phone to sweet April, Lora and Mandi {Lora who just cracks me up}. 
& very lucky to have the support from Holli, Winter, Crystal, and Whitney. 
{our Corporate sweeties}.

I am very excited for Swanky Baby Vintage & their journey to come.
{& very excited that my customers will soon be able to walk into a local store & snatch up what they need}.

Lucky for you, Swanky Baby Vintage is having an AWESOME end of season sale!
Use coupon code YEAREND at check-out to enjoy 40% off!

COLOURlovers.i.love.

The other night I was on Pinterest & COLOURlovers looking for some fall decor inspiration.  COLOURlovers turned into much more than fall inspiration.  After I played around and made an account, I designed my fall color pallet, which lead to creating a ton of patterns around those colors! O.M.G. This is like a wannabe fashion/fabric designer's dream! I cannot believe the talent some of the members have on this page.  Before I knew it, I was getting hearts on my color pallet and patterns; now comments, messages, etc.  I began doing the same & feel like I am in a whole new creative community.

What makes it SO fun is the naming part.  If the color you create does not have a name {i.e., you are the first one to create this color, you get to name it}.  Also, when designing patterns, {talk about talented designers who pre-make these}, you get to name that design.  SO.MUCH.FUN.

I would like to introduce you to one of my color pallets & coordinating patterns: Baby Boy.  {this is my direct profile, JOIN, and come play along with me}. :)

XOXO, 

Kate

Millie*Morgan*Media GIVEAWAY!

Good Morning Readers!

I would like to invite you to enter a chance to win a great little goodie set from Millie Morgan Media. I had the chance to interview Mandie Starkey, designer/owner/blogger; & aka little sister. So let's get this started!

Who is Millie Morgan Media?

Millie Morgan Media is more than just a Photography & Design company --it's a dream in the making. As a 20 something wife, mother, photographer, and designer- I have always dreaming of being a photographer and expanding my creativeness and ability to capture photos in a unique way to friends and family. My daughter is the reason for my obsession with photography. When she was born- I began taking hundreds, okay thousands of photos of her. This is where Millie Morgan Media began. With the support of family and friends Millie Morgan Media is starting take off and without these important people in my life my dream would not be coming true.

Tell me about your blog?

The Millie Morgan Media blog is a creative blog where I hope to share my thoughts, ideas, crafts, photography, and design. My blog started one day- after getting laid off at my first big job as a graphic designer. This was a blessing in disguise because I never thought blogging would make me so happy. I also want my blog to showcase some of my newest work whether it's photography or design with hopes of extending to others who need anything creative such as business cards, logos, photography, or invitations. {Please visit my blog at http://milliemorganmedia.blogspot.com}

Whats the one word that best describes you?

Passionate. I am passionate (or at least I try my hardest to be). I am passionate about every aspect of my life-- including my family, my husband, my daughter, photography, and design.

Giveaway:

Millie Morgan Media is giving away one original set of 25 custom made "mommy calling cards" and a coordinating "jot it down" notepad. (image below is an example, but winner will provide Mandie what information they would like on their calling cards).

<3 these--they are great for meeting new mamas, organizing play-dates, exchanging info. love, love, love!

& who doesn't just adore a cute note pad for all those "to dos?"
