Hello, friends! Christmas is upon us once again and I’m excited to share that Sheyda and I’s look for Hallmark’s Holiday Product story lives on with new product this year! First up, my font “Good Cheer” created by Josh Scruggs used on this adorable green gift bag, along with several other pieces of embellished typography. These started from Laura Ballard and Josh Scruggs font “Snickerdoodle.”

In early November we kicked off the month finding out that Baby Smith #2 is another boy and that Grant’s prediction of “it’s a brother” was correct! We can’t wait to meet this second little buddy next Spring. After that we headed on our trip to California, and then I immediately hopped on another plane to Nashville to visit Grace! I got to spend a few nights with her in the dorm, eat in the cafeteria and we went to Kamala’s “107 Days” Nashville book tour stop. The end of the month was full of Thanksgiving festivities and getting our Christmas tree/starting to decorate. Here’s to the holidays!
Happy Thanksgiving! Grant and I enjoyed a delicious brunch at EB and GPa’s house before heading back home to finish getting ready to host. This was the first year family has come to our house for dinner, and it was so special having everyone together. So much to be grateful for this year!
Earlier this month Dale, Grant and I headed to Huntington Beach, California to reunite with our Saint Louis “Froends” and celebrate Michael and Joanna’s baby shower! We had the best (and very rainy) couple of days relaxing, playing with trucks on the beach, and spending time catching up with friends. Grant absolutely loved the sand and I am hoping we get another chance to see the ocean (and have the chance to meet the new baby twins) very soon!
In honor of the release of Wicked: For Good I’m so excited to share I had the opportunity to create this lettering for Hallmark’s Licensed glassware collection. Now I just need to see the movie!

For Halloween this year the entire family pulled from my mom’s costume closet to dress up as knights, a king, queen, and princesses – complete with Dale the dragon. Grant and Winston got their special outfits in France (amid the HOT weather) so it was extra exciting for them to get to wear their costumes and remember our Summer trip. We also ordered adorable crochet hats for the boys to complete their outfits. Grace also made the trip home from Nashville to help us celebrate and we had the best time trick or treating at Grammy and Pop’s house and around Dale & I’s new neighborhood!
