Friday is the last day for custom orders for the year

I will be taking a break from custom orders for the holidays, so this Friday, November 30th, is the last  day to order a custom banner, flag or mini banner. This includes our flags and thank you banners. Custom orders will resume January 2nd. So, if there is something you have been thinking about ordering, now is the time :)

 

All of our ready to ship items, including our holiday banners, will still be available in the shop through December.

The Queen Bee Market in Carlsbad- this weekend!

SoCal friends: The Queen Bee Market is this friday & saturday in Carlsbad!! It’s going to be the best one yet: over 70 amazing vendors, make & takes, a photo booth and they are even giving away Cricut machines & an iPad mini!

 

Check out more information here. I will be there with tons of holiday banners, mini banner stands, flags, party hats & tags :)  There may also be a free giveaway of a song off of our upcoming Christmas album…   (more on that to come!!)

Thanksgiving banners in the shop- limited availability

I was not planning on listing any thanksgiving banners in my etsy shop, as I am stocking up for Queen Bee Market, but after many people asked, I decided to make what I have in stock available to all of you :)

.

 

There is a very limited availability of thankful, give thanks, happy thanksgiving and blessed banners available in the shop. Once they are gone, they are gone, so grab one while you can :)

.

 

I will have more at The Queen Bee Market in Carlsbad, which is November 16 & 17. If you are local, I hope to see you there!

.

I need your help :)

Hi everyone!

 

I  have a big favor to ask. I entered my dear friend Shae into the Queen for a Day contest, which is a part of the Queen Bee Market, and she has made it to the top 5! It’s now open to the public to vote. If she wins, here is more info on what she will be given, which would be such a blessing:

 

Shea is one of the most amazing people I know and is so deserving of this. You can see the entry I wrote about her here.

 

It takes just a minute to vote. Please please click here & vote for Shae :)

Blogging break

As I prepare for the Queen Bee Market, I will be taking a blog break for the next couple of weeks. I may post instafriday still, depending on how much time I have, but probably won’t be posting much more than that until the end of the month.

.

On that note, there is a HUGE giveaway going for the Carlsbad Queen Bee- check it out!

The Queen Bee Market in Aliso Viejo & Carlsbad

I will have a booth at the Queen Bee Market again this, but it is even better this time around: there are two markets! The first will be in Aliso Viejo so all you OC lades can come shop! Yay! It is on Saturday, October 27th. The second will be in Carlsbad on November 16th & 17th. More details below:

 

 

Hope to see you there!

 

**Because of this coming up, turn around time will be longer for custom items purchased for our etsy shop. Starting tomorrow, all made-to-order items will have a turn around time of one month plus shipping time**

Last day for orders for a few weeks!

Due to some craziness we have going on with our little family (good craziness!) and a possible move in the upcoming month, I am going to be closing my shop for a few weeks.

 

The last day to order is today- if you are thinking of ordering an item for a June or July wedding, please make sure to get your order in :)

 

The shop will be closed starting tomorrow, Saturday the 26th through Friday June 15th. If you need something desperately, email me. I can still take an order here or there if it is urgent :)

My husband’s album is now available!!!!!

You guys. This is an exciting day.

 

After years of song writing, worship leading and recording, my husband’s first full-length album is released today. I am so incredibly proud of him and this album. It blows me away when I listen to it, even though I have been a part of the entire process.

 

 

The album is called Broken Hallelujah (songs for sunday mornings (and other times also)) and it is a collection of my husband’s original songs, with one hymn thrown in. Songs about God, songs about hard times, songs about rejoicing, songs about how God’s love never ends. This morning, someone said, “With one foot planted firmly in tradition, and the other floating over that Sufjan/prog rock kinda world, BROKEN HALLELUJAH is a fantastic record”.

 

It is a really really great album. And I’m not just saying that because he’s so cute :)

 

If you are looking for some new good worship music, please check it out. You might even hear a little bit of me :)

 

It is available on his website (you can order a physical CD, digital download and/or pre-order the vinyl) or on iTunes.

My husband’s album release show!

Meet my husband.

 

His name is David. But it is pronounced Daveed. I write it phonetically on the blog so that you all know his name isn’t david :)

 

He is my high school sweetheart. He’s an incredible dad. He’s also an amazing songwriter and musician. Next week, his first full-length album will be released.

 

It’s awesome. This has been one of his dreams for years and it is so rad to see him accomplish it.

 

It will be released next Tuesday, the 27th, but you can hear a sneak peak right now at davidtoneymusic.com

 

This Sunday, we will be having an album release concert/worship night at our church in San Diego. If you are local, please come :)  It is free and childcare will be provided. I’ll be playing in the band :)
