A Season to be Thankful

I have been doing a lot of thinking about how thankful I am.  I guess it is perfect timing as the warm summer air turns crisp and the smell of fall fills the house. 

My thankful list is pretty long. I try and refer to it often. It is so easy to get caught up in the rush of life and to forget about the core things that really matter.

Here are a few things I am thankful for today:

• I don't consider my job 'work'...I get to do what I love to do every day and I love it. I love creating, designing and hunting down a fabric for a customer no matter how far I have to look!
• I am thankful for my good health. I am working on getting back in shape after years of putting everyone else first. It feels great! If you're in the same boat, you can do it! 
• After years of being afraid to jump in and take risks with my business in fear that people would not like my products, I am now on the verge of something BIG. I can feel it. We are growing leaps and bounds and are blessed to have the support of family and friends to push us along.

I guess it is fitting that I spend a lot of time thinking about thanks, it is a big part of what we do here at HBDesigns. Take a peek at the Fabrinery below. Each of these notes will be used to express thanks.  In fact, this customer has been using our notes to thank people for years.  Another, item for my thankful list: We are so lucky to have wonderful customers! Maybe you'll be next!

Ok, so things have been a little crazy around the HBDesigns studio. Just when we think we are on top of it, we get another great idea and orders start pouring in!

Here is what we've been up to!

We added large kid's place mats to our fabrations (fabric + celebrations) line:

We took it one step further and created place mats that will keep the kiddos busy while your finishing dinner...one side mat, one side chalk board:

Fabrinery orders have been at an all time high:

We put together a few fabritations (fabric + invitations) along the way:

And we have been hard at work producing our wine tags:

Needless to say, we're growing, growing, growing and couldn't be happier about all our new clients. We hope to hear from you soon!  Don't you want fashionable notes and invitations too?
