HOW IT WENT DOWN ...

I really didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this ... FUN, no sleep and more FUN! b. mo did an awesome job in her mini sessions which made the cards I designed for her look even better.







And then there are the custom designs I've had the pleasure of doing. It's so fulfilling to me to give someone something they can't find anywhere else.

So, be thinking about what you want next year! Order as early as you want!
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas from KBcreative.

ORDERING CLOSED

I am no longer taking orders for Christmas cards. WOW!! How fun it has been though! I will post pics of all of them when things slow down a bit. You can still order stickers for any occasion! AFter next week, my computer is going to the doctor and I'm going to NYC! Thanks to everyone who placed orders!
I can't wait for you to see them. This has been a great thing! Don't forget...I can do so many other things too! Invitations, Birth Announcements, logos, We've Moved cards, etc. etc. etc.

Comment with questions.
Merry Christmas card addressing!!!

ROUND 'EM UP!!

I feel like the biggest dork for getting so excited about a RETURN ADDRESS LABEL, but I found a great place to print them. AND THEY ARE ROUND!!! Love it!
If some of you are like me and not living in your forever house — no need to order a permanent stamp just yet, right?
So, maybe a custom sticker for your Christmas Cards or just for everyday will suffice! I can customize them just for YOU!!

This is the Berry sticker that I can wait to get any day now!

$6.75/sheet of 35

CHRISTMAS CARDS

I am having so much fun designing custom Christmas cards for everyone! Don't miss having your own custom card designed. Here is a sneak peek of ours this year.

This is a 5x7 two-sided linen card for $1.50/card

putting a full image on the back is a great idea for family and friends
or your favorite verse with an image or I can do whatever you want!

See my exclusive designs for b. mo foto to get an idea of some things I can do!

Here is my latest custom order ...


This is a 5x7 one-side photo quality card for$.95/card.
I'll post a pic of the actual card when they come in!

So, tell your friends, your grandmother, your mom, your neighbor!

KBcreative can do more than just Christmas cards ... baby announcements, invitations, logos, brochures, stationery, and so much more!

JUST A FREELANCIN' ...

YEP! A lot of you know I've been freelancing for a few years on and off for friends and clients. So, I've officially decided to make it a public thing!
I do pretty much anything to do with print material (ads, logos, custom Christmas cards (a new endeavor), booklets, business cards, letterhead, thank you cards, enclosure cards, posters, and a so much more—you get the idea). I don't do websites ... got out of that groove a long time ago. It's fun but takes forever – did I mention I'm a stay-at-home mom?!
I will post things here until I feel the need to move things elsewhere. So, my business is about my business ... my life is number one to be a stay-at-home mom and second to work for the clients that I have now and see where things may or may not go.
Check periodically for projects I've been working on!

Giving Him ALL the Glory

I must share these people and this story with you ... because I am in awe again and again at how people give God the Glory for ALL He has done.

Months ago, I was in Jackson doing a few things and hoping to meet up with my best friend in Jackson, Angie. While planning to just stay the night with she and Breisch, I get a phone call that her sister-in-law, Kristina, had just gotten news that her baby girl she was carrying was not ok.
So, needless to say, they rushed to get their son who was with Breisch's mom and be with family.

That is where this story of faithfulness started to impact me. Kristina gave birth to Layne Grace Gaston on October 14, 2010 not knowing the outcome of her birth. Layne has Trisomy 18, a fatal chromosomal disorder, and they were unsure if she would even make it to birth. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!! Layne is a week old today and holding her own pretty well. They were able to take her home today to be with them until the Lord brings her home with him. Just like all of us as adults and children alike, our days are numbered and how high that number will go – we don't know!
You can follow Kristina and Hamp's journal for Layne on CaringBridge by clicking here. Please pray for them as they continue this journey and cherish every day they have with that baby girl.
I am in awe of their faithfulness as they are allowing God to get ALL the Glory for this great thing He has done! No one really knew or thought they would have this many days with this precious child.

AND THE FUN KEEPS COMING ...

At this rate, you're going to think I'm going to blog every day and Truett is going to think we're going to do FUN things every day!
Today was fall fest at our church. WOW! We had a fun day!
No nap all day, bless us! But we had lots of fun. Have I used that word enough yet??
After a fun morning with Daddy, Mimi showed up for the afternoon. Truett and I took Mimi out to show her a good time! (i.e. Fall Fest and Wall's!)

Truett is obsessed with CHOO CHOOs!!! (as he calls a train)
So, this was right up his alley. GO DAWGS!!

Mom tried to help him have fun ... failed!

He also loves COWS ... MOOOOO!!! and now, milking them...ha!!

Cassie attempted to paint a pumpkin on T's cheek and he attempted to wipe it away.

Truett picked this to eat and LOVED the green icing.

We loved Mimi joining us!!

and the conductor thought someone was cute!!
He's already like his daddy ... getting special treatment.

WE WENT TO THE FAIR ...

I saw some cool cars.


I played with some animals.


I had lots of fun with mommy and daddy!

I rode A ride!


And mommy and daddy decided it was time to go!
We had fun but I was SOOO tired!

There is a lot to catch you up on, but I couldn't pass this up. We had a great day!

HE ALONE is MY ROCK

"He alone is my rock and my salvation; my stronghold, I will not be shaken." – Psalm 62:6

Baby Berry #2 will forever be our little angel looking down on us until we meet one day in Heaven. We love you, little angel, and wish we would have gotten to meet you.

Though we don't understand it now, we know that God knows best ... in Him alone do we TRUST.

Thank you to all our family and friends for all your prayers and encouragement.

The Cow Goes MOOOOO

For those of you who don't know, Ryan grew up showing cows. His family have a cattle farm as well and we decided the last time we were in New Hebron we would let Truett explore the REAL cows! Needless to say, he loved it. I wish I would have counted the number of times he said COOWWWW .... mooooo!

COOWWWW!

more COOWWWs!

then he just wanted to drive!

the horses as we were leaving ... not his favorite.
Maybe a little too close for comfort.

I'm just so glad our little man loves the outdoors as much as we do!

THE NEWS ...

SAY WHAT MOM??
I'm going to be a BIG BROTHER??

YES!! That's why the blog is a little behind ... mom's hasn't been feeling so well!
Due March 4 {for those of you wondering ... Truett's due date was March 6}
They will be exactly 2 years apart!
Praying all goes well ... get ready for baby Berry #2!!

What a MAN, What a BIRTHDAY!

Yesterday was Ryan's 31st birthday!

What a man Ryan is! He's a hard working, caring, serving, fun, silly, thoughtful, deserving, loving man and father. Ryan has always gone out of his way to help me do anything! When we got married, we made a deal that whoever cooked, cleaned dishes and he's always stuck to that as well as washing dishes was his thing and washing clothes is mine! YES, he still does! Don't be jealous, friends! I realize he is one of a kind and I'm so thankful for him and how he serves me at home.


Not only is he a great husband but such a great father! He and Truett have so much fun together every moment they are together. There is no doubt ... Truett LOVES his daddy! They love to stack blocks, sword fight, read books, and be so silly together. I am so thankful for a man that makes spending time with his little man his priority.

Happy Birthday, RYAN aka DADDY!!!

A Wild Ride and Week

Yes, I know! I'm a little behind on updating about our week and weekend in TN. I guess you could say I hit a wall when we returned. {We'll share all those lovely details at a later date}

My last post was about being in Nashville and in Nashville I was! We made it SAFELY to say the least. I had a WILD RIDE about half way there when I was run off the road by another church bus (in my own car following our bus – they didn't mean to of course!). I went out of control on the interstate and ended up going the opposite direction on the shoulder after almost flipping! A WILD RIDE. Thank the Lord everything was fine – only one tire came off the rim and had to be put back on. Thanks to the local firemen of Brownsville, TN, for changing my tire!!! Needless to say, I didn't drive the rest of the way there.

We really drew a crowd ... two more church buses up ahead and emergency vehicles.
Thanks to these guys below ... we were back on the road in 45 minutes.

One tire off the rim...
It is truly amazing I didn't flip ... almost ... but didn't flip!

MFUGE was great though! The week with our students was a blessing and so rewarding to see them respond to God's voice. We were all exhausted by Saturday but it was all worth it!

Sweet kids at The Shalom Zone



sweet little Kimberlyn was mad because we wouldn't let her have the camera.



Our crazy group



and all of us crazy girls!



kaylie and carli all geared up for MEGA RELAY

worship on Wednesday night ... amazing ... Tim Bertram painting this with his hands was it!

It was excited to see my boys Saturday afternoon as they met me on our way further East to Townsend, TN, for the Sudduth family reunion. (My mom's brother and sisters, my cousins, and all our kiddos) It was wild and so fun! It had been about four years since we were all together at Meemaw's funeral which was brief and not a huge time to visit. So, it was great to meet all the great grands and see all of them play together. Truett is the youngest and he loved the play time with so many little people like him!

this is the almost the whole gang...we miss you, Steve and Kirk Sudduth!



sweet Sydney ... 13 and still precious!



little man loved running ... a few scrapes and bruises but he had a blast!



two sweet girls ... princess Madelynn and Syd



Mom's sisters and brother and spouses ... Meemaw and Grandaddy would be so proud!

We spent the 4th of July together all day at The Lodge at Valley View. What a fun day! We're so blessed to be a part of such a precious family. There have been some major trials in all our lives over the past few years. Being able to be together for a short time was so rewarding!
Some of us even floated the river with all the other 400 people that were there too. Low river + holiday=Interesting.

we loved the fireworks

Somebody taught this little man how to say ... WOW!! at the fireworks.
So, now, Truett loves to look up in the sky and say, "WOW!!"
