Christmas time is here...

Today's post was a special collaboration. My fiancee drew this charming little boy and I had lots of fun painting him. It was really nice working on this with my darling.

I also wanted to announce the opening of my online shop. Blanquet's Boutique is now open for business! I started up this shop for fun and I hope you will stop by and check it out.

Steve, I've been trying to get my fiancee to put up a blog to no avail. He is indeed a talented artist and a great animator as well. I'm hoping he will change his mind soon...

Eren,
I received you’re blog information from Tim Jones & Heath McPhersen. I’m a product designer currently looking for a freelance illustrator to do some new packaging character studies for a new toy line I’m working on. If you’re interested please feel free to contact me at annacox@summittoy.com or at 205-661-1774 x 231. Your work is beautiful. I’m looking forward to talking to you. Thanks again, Anna

My family loves the holidays, beginning with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Mardi Gras so we always have lots of parties. This year I decided to find real unique holiday cards that I could write my own holiday party invitation wordings. I found three great sites, Cards Shoppe, Holiday-Invitations and Invitations-Shoppe.

I added all three sites to my favorites and ordered from Holiday-Invitations and was very pleased. I got lots of compliments, and was so happy. It made the holidays extra special!

Be it the baby shower invitation announcements, birth invitation cards for surprise parties, invitation cards for holiday parties, invitation cards for Christmas parties, or you housewarming invitation parties, you get your cards for all kinds of events that you can come across.

If you are looking for cards for occasions like Halloween party , Christmas, New-year parties or Thanksgiving parties, then these cards, I’m sure, will add zing to your party flavor. If you belong to the die-hard romantic types, then you can’t afford to miss out on the Valentine’s Invitation cards.

Starting from boy/girl birth announcement cards , twin/triplet/multiples birth announcement cards, adoption announcement cards, to pregnancy announcement cards, these cards offer you great ways to invite your near and dear to share the special moments with them.

Be it christening invitations or baptism, bar mitzvah or 1st holy communion, you can find cards that are just ideal for inviting people for all your religious ceremonies. The cards are customized and bear a formal look suiting the specific moods of the religious occasions. On the top of it, you will get wonderful discounts on your religious cards. A must visit if you have plans in the pipeline for religious parties.

Do you want to celebrate the birthday of your new-born child in a big way or, are you waiting to invite your friends and relatives to the baptism ceremony? Are you graduating from the high-school and planning to throw a party to your acquaintances? For all those who want to make their invitation really special, I would strongly recommend the following four sites where they can find invitation cards virtually for all occasions.

Baby Announcements
express-invitations,
graduation cards shop,
holiday invitations

I’m sure you will be impressed with the elegant design of these cards which are also available on amazing discounts. So visit these sites and pick one of those cards and order for customization if you have something special in your mind.
