How can you tailor wood trays to your style?

" Your home should tell the story of who you are, 

and be a collection of what you love"

~ Nate Berkus

Each one is customized for our customer from the stain to paint, handles as well as the personal messages. If you are looking for a unique piece that isn't expensive then trays are a great option.

Christmas in July

" Being a traditionalist, I'm a rabid sucker for Christmas. 

In July, I'm already worried  that there are only 146 shopping days left."

~ John Waters

It's been a busy 2018 so far and now we are celebrating Christmas in July. What fun to start thinking about the joy the season brings us, the decorations that warm your family home and the memories you will be making in a few short months.

Graduation 2018

Wow...did that year go by quick? It always does and if you are like me it isn't just that year that flies in your loved ones life but all of them. Kindergarten to Senior year go by in a blink of an eye. Your little one goes from a child, to a teen and somehow ends up as a young adult ready to take on the world. This all happens in what feels like 5 minutes when realizing graduation is only a month away.

Once you wipe the tears away from your eyes you also start thinking about event planning - the party you are throwing and the ones you'll be attending (or at least sending a gift). These party invitations add up quickly and you can be at a loss for gift ideas other than a gift card. 

This is where Sisters by Design can help. 

Our store can help you design unique graduation party items such as gold foil water bottle labels, invitations or thank you notes. What girl wouldn't want a little bling to help them stand out from the others? 

"Gold Foil Example"

Does your graduate have a favorite quote? Or do you want to give them something to inspire them as they start the next part of their journey? We have wood wall hangings that might just fit the bill. Bring us your ideas and we will make your gift that is quality made that will last a lifetime.

"Wood Wall Hanging Quote Example"

Need to purchase for several graduates this season? We have customizable jewelry at a value price. 

"Oh the places you will go"

Remember to breathe, bring lots of tissues and to enjoy every minute of this season. It only happens once and those memories are precious. 

Laugh, Love and Live this time to it's fullest.

Thank you,

Sisters by Design

Peas in a Pod Necklace

Our Peas in a Pod necklace can be customized the family initials and the number of peas in your family pod. 

Mom's Favorite Quote Wall Hanging

Does your mom have a favorite quote or verse? This is a beautiful piece to showcase it and can fit easily into most decors or office spaces.

Personalized Barn Wood Mirror

If mom is a music lover we can personalize this barn wood mirror to include the lyrics in a heart shape. It is a very unique piece that will make mom smile each time she passes by it.

Celebrate Mom this year with unique and personalized items. Mom's don't care about the cost but she does care that it comes from the heart. All we want is to know our kids love us, respect us and care about celebrating our day together. 

Thank you,

Sisters by Design

Countdown to Mother's Day 2018....

"All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my Mother"
~ Abraham Lincoln

Being a Mom is the greatest job ever but also one of the toughest. For the first nine months you are so excited to meet this little creature that you helped create and are now bringing into the world. Then the baby arrives, begins to grow, develop and before you know they begin to talk. This is when the tough part begins...

"Welcome to the World"

Every child has their own personality and if your kids are anything like mine, they dismounted from my womb with a forceful sense of independence and self-worth. Every mother wants to raise a  child to become both strong and independent but it almost kills them to raise one that arrives
 preassembled in this fashion.

"Flexibility"

Through the years these mini versions of yourself love you, torment you and make you laugh harder than any other person in the world. The tears are both sadness, anger and joy. When they are younger all you want them to be is safe. If you could put them in bubble wrap it would be their new fall attire. Instead you put your number in their backpacks, on bracelets and as they get older inside their phone.

"Mom's Phone Number"

As they become teenagers you all of sudden are making your cut/color appointments at the beauty salon closer together than ever before but as my father-n-law says "It's only money". They say to find an individuals priorities look at their checkbook. Mine would definitely be for items for my kids. 

The list is endless ~ band, cheer-leading, volleyball fees, musical lessons, the latest fashions, shoes ...don't even get me started on the shoes! In all the world there isn't anyone you want to make happy or squeal with joy than your kids when you finally buy the thing they have wanted for their entire life! Even if sometimes other characters get the credit - a.k.a Santa Claus & Easter Bunny.

"Sports Mom"

Then the day comes where they graduate from high school and venture off to college. You would do everything possible to hold on just for five more minutes to the fingerprints on the wall, messy rooms, endless car rides to and from activities and maybe even to write the checks to support them. 

"Graduation"

Yet, they have come full circle to finally become the strong and independent young adults you prayed for them to be from the beginning. A friend more than a child and you start to look forward to all the new memories you can make with them including them moving out of your house, getting married and grandchildren!

It's a SPA party and I'll be pampered if I want to...

Keep Calm and enjoy a Spa day!

Whether it is your birthday, a girls night or even a divorce party the spa theme can be crafted for every occasion. I've done spa parties for teenagers where we purchased a bunch of fingernail polish, pedicure supplies, makeup and hairspray. Don't forget the music as no party is complete without this component. It may not be Spa music with teenagers but it's your party so you can bend the rules.

Oh I can't forget the food...we also had that too! Lots of it...I mean these were teenage girls with no boys around to impress! Pizza, cupcakes, cookies, and the spa water (mix ice water with slices of lemon or cucumbers). No spa party is complete without the fancy spa water. 

For a more elegant spa party you could change the music to something soothing, upgrade your mani/pedi supplies and introduce finger foods. Don't forget the desserts as no girls party is complete without chocolate and maybe some wine!

Sisters by Design can help you along the way with planning your big day. Our store has options for cupcake stakes, centerpieces, labels for your food or spa stations. Our team can customize many of the traditional party supplies to match your level of sophistication. 

Here are some examples from our collection:

"Bling Centerpiece Stakes"

"Personalized glam"

"Centerpiece"

We are open to designing new creations for your next spa party!

Vegas baby....Birthday Party time!

"Vegas is the answer, no matter the question"

We can customize your birthday party with supplies that will elevate your theme and improve the experience. If it is done Vegas style it's even better! 

Sisters by Design partnered with a Vegas cake maker to create some designs for an upcoming 66th birthday party.  Creative collaborations like these help us provide new variations for our clients and allow us to make friends far and wide. Thank you for thinking of us and we hope to partner with many more of you designers in the future. 

Remember the saying

"What happens in Vegas- Stays in Vegas"! 

I"m not sure this is true thanks to social media and digital cameras but I know it is a good time no matter the age. For the younger parties there is tons of shows, water parks and roller coasters. More mature parties know the party is on the strip, in the casino's and buffets! Vegas may be the name but Fun is the game. 

Products are listed below for our collaboration with the Vegas cake designer as well as some other birthday supplies we can customize for your upcoming event.

"Handmade Cake Toppers & Centerpiece Stakes"

"Happy Birthday centerpiece stake"

"The Golden Ticket invite"

"Centerpiece stakes"

Have a great day and let us know if we can help you design your next party!
