Hello!  We are in Christmas mode here at HollyDays (yes, I did say Christmas… yikes!), trying to get all our thoughts in order for our Christmas shows and displays/samples.  We are looking for photos for our sample Christmas cards.  If you have any photos of your child/children/family and wouldn’t mind us using them on our samples, email them to us.  We are looking for cute and clear digital photographs.  If we use your photo(s), we will give you a $10 credit for your next HollyDays purchase for every photo we use!  If you send us a professional photograph, please send us a confirmation that you have the rights to use the photo and we can use/print the photo.

Also, is there anything you would like to see us do this holiday season?  We are brainstorming some new ideas and we would love your input.  Let us know if there are any designs/styles of cards/ideas you have for us to consider!

Hope you have a great day!

Just wanted to give you an update on Amber and baby Darby.  Amber came home on July 4th and is doing better.  Darby remains in the hospital to grow stronger and bigger and hopefully will come home in September.  She currently weighs 2.4lbs.

Here’s a picture of the sweet {tiny} Darby:

And here is Amber out of ICU!

I know this is a tough time for a new mom to come home without her baby.  The family thanks everyone for their prayers and concern.  Continue to pray for both Darby and Amber as they are both still healing and growing stronger.

For those of you who work from home, you can totally relate to this.  I received this from a friend not too long ago.  So funny… yet so true!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Anna has been so kind to share more pictures of her little boy’s 1st birthday frog party.  This is a super long post because of all the photos, but well worth it!  These photos were taken by Bonnie with Blink Photography in Birmingham, AL.  The photos are great and these photos give you an idea of what the party experience was from the time you arrived at the party!  Hop on in!

Walking up to their front door.  Welcome to Froggy Bottom!  This is sure to be a fun party!

The guests are arriving.

This is the welcome sign on the front door.

Table in the Foyer.  Look at the cute frames and photos!

Mommy Anna is serving some punch at the food table.

All of the food had a cute, creative frog theme name!

And of course… the frog food!  Goldfish!

The frog cake…

and frog cupcakes…

and beautiful fondant cake…

Anna used some of the regular stickers we made to put on waterbottles.  She bought a large quantity and used them also for the party favors.

We also have waterproof stickers available and are looking into waterproof labels to wrap around the bottles.

Even Jamison got to sit on his own lilipad!

Oh, and even the little froggies there were able to hop around in some super fun inflatables!

It looks like everyone had so much fun!  Thank you so much for sharing these great pictures with us, Anna!  Have you ordered party supplies and/or invitations from us?  We would love to see your party photos!

Have a TOADILY GREAT DAY!

Hello everyone.  I received an email today from someone who I made a baby door sign for on Friday.  Sweet baby Darby was born at 29 weeks, weighing only 2lbs, 4oz.  Everything seemed to be fine on Friday, but now Darby’s mother is in ICU.  Please read the below email about Darby and her Mommy and please keep them both in your prayers.  Leave a comment and let us know if you are praying for them.  I’ll pass on the kind words.  This is a very sweet family.

“Holly, Thank you again for making the door sign for my niece at such short notice.  Everyone adored it!  Nurses were wanting to know where I got it.  Unfortunately, it only got to hang on her door for a few short hours. After Kaitlin and I met you, we went straight back to the hospital and was faced with bad news.  My niece, Amber, was very sick.  Her blood pressure had dropped extremely low and we were told that she had a blood clot.  Within an hour, they were removing the blood clot and then her kidneys started shutting down.  She was rushed to ICU.  I truly thought we were going to lose her.  At about 3:00a.m., her blood pressure had gotten stabilized and we were given some hope.  She is still in ICU and is doing better.  Every improvement is great hope for us.  Baby Darby is still fighting as well.  Please include Amber and Darby in your daily prayers.  Our prayers were answered early Saturday morning when Amber showed some improvement.  Thank you again for your kindness and prayers.”

With Much Appreciation,
LP
