hand lettering LOVE!

i have to admit that I have been just terrible when it comes to keeping up with my blog skills!  Life gets 'in the way', creativity gets the best of me and these little people that call me 'mama' seem to always want me to be present {i mean , who do they think I am, their mother or something?}

I have a lot going on in this little world of mine and could not be happier about the orders flying in every day.....THANK YOU!!!

Custom stationery, napkins and cups seem to be a huge hit these days and I totally agree with the obsession!!  Some of our latest designs are completely hand lettered by MOI and add the perfect touch to snail mail or a gift.  

the LUCY notecard set complete with envelope liners and hand lettering makes this set one of a kind!

Gold foil is never a bad idea!  And when it's hand lettered on a napkin, you're sure to be the hostess with the mostess!

RDP offers custom hand lettering for almost any design, occasion or gift so be sure to check back for our newest custom line coming in february!!!  The fresh new year has us dreaming of fresh ideas that you will not want to miss!

Choosing J.O.Y

Hey Yall!

So, if you're new around here, HEY!!  If you've been around a while then THANK YOU for hanging around and i can only pray you decide to stay.

I wanted to simply share about my life/biz motto, 'Choose Joy'.  It has come to be a phrase i think and repeat to myself on a daily basis and know that it is the Lord's little reminder to do just that--be full of JOY!  

I doodle a lot as most creative {or bored in class} people seem to do.  Something about putting a pencil, marker or pen to scratch paper or a journal releases a lot of tension and brings JOY to my heart.  The other day as I was waiting on a file to upload {joy stealer fo sho!} i found myself sketching out J .O . Y like an acronym, and it got me thinking what those three little letters could actually stand for if it were an acronym.....and i came up with these three words as if Jesus whispered them to me that moment-

J-jesus . O-others . Y-you

way too easy, right??  That order, in that little word and what else do you need to know???  Yes, you can steal that!  write it on a cute card and keep it in your car, stick it in your wallet and GLUE it to your fridge!!  And be on the lookout for a fun new line coming from it as well ;)

““Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, and so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.” ”

— proverbs 3.3-4

So, go on with yourself today and decide every morning, every moment to CHOOSE J.O.Y!!!  {oh, and grab a Choose Joy Christmas tee too so others will be reminded to do the same}
