this was such a fun styled shoot that shannon of periwinkle events invited me to participate in. she did such a good job putting everything together & making sure everything looked stunning.

this gorgeous shoot took place at the heisen house in battle ground, washington . just 45min north of portland, or 2.5 hours south of seattle, the heisen house is such a beautiful space for a wedding or any private event.

so these were thanksgiving cards that i made, oh wow, i thought it was only 5 years ago, but it was SEVEN years ago! lol how embarassing. well, nothing says TIME FLIES like that.

i think this was the first year that we had moved into this rental in SE after four years of being married & leaving in an apartment in NW portland. we loved being on the main floor of a cute house & i adored all of the sweet sunlight that i got through those amazing windows.

hello my sweet cherubs!

it has been SO LONG since i last posted a blog post, let alone a real blog post where i talk about what’s really going on! i decided that this year i am going to get back into blogging, i’m ready to get back into it xanga-style! IYKYK and yes, it’s hard to realize that, wow! i’m a mom and i’m old and xanga was 20 years ago. what is life!

the magic of heartfelt connections is what we’re all about here at everglow handmade. we have a collection of cards that were designed with just that in mind—and to help you see the good & celebrate it. 

in a world that sometimes feels chaotic, we believe in the power of spreading positivity through thoughtful creations. our valentine’s greeting cards are not just cards—they’re a vessel to share love & light with those that you cherish.

this holiday season was a special one for us at everglow handmade! after a few years away, we decided to jump back into the holiday market scene, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. our market adventures started with legendary maker’s market, where the set-up process was a whirlwind of hauling in our tables, displays, and goods to create a visually stunning layout. the star of the show was, of course, our beloved card tree–an eye-catching display that was a playful way for visitors to explore or charming greeting cards.

we have always aimed to create products that not only serve a purpose but also spread positivity and joy. what began with beautiful greeting cards ventured into new territories—starting with our pencil sets.

something magical happens when you intertwine love with creativity—and that is exactly what inspired the creation of the amber suite! i love creating thoughtful designs, and when it came to crafting this wedding invitation suite, it was all about weaving that together with the essence of a dreamy love story.
