Different, but not different enough for copyright purposes. So, reluctantly, we began to think of new names for this venture. Then, this summer, just before our son was born, we introduced our daughter to <span style="font-style: italic;">"The Sound of Music."</span> She was hooked, and DAILY would ask to watch "cuckoo" (do you remember the song from the party at the von trapp mansion?). We began singing the songs together (to keep from watching it EVERY day), and soon "my favorite things" became a regular request.<br /><br />For those of you who don't remember (because you haven't seen it 50+ times since june :), here are the opening lyrics:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens<br />Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brown paper packages</span> tied up with strings<br />These are a few of my favorite things<br /></div><br />And so we discovered our new name amongst our daughters "favorite things." The official name is "bpp design" in order to avoid more copyright issues!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">My next announcement is <span style="font-weight: bold;">I'VE OPENED A SHOP</span> on etsy. <span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/bppdesign">bppdesign.etsy.com</a></span><br /></div><br />As of today, I'm of today I have 12 Christmas photocard designs available! I will be adding new designs [or old favorites] daily, so continue to check in. And <span style="font-style: italic;">please</span> let me know what else you'd like to see at the shop! And, as always, I would be delighted to be part of your celebration and am very eager to help you with any custom order ideas you may be dreaming up.joy - designerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09402867880368820195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604916035152540393.post-83656281962170283602010-10-18T14:28:00.004-05:002010-10-18T22:41:06.823-05:00poster for jude...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1VumsKmHkck/TLyg_tKMw_I/AAAAAAAAAJw/11BCeT1vc-8/s1600/jude+poster+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1VumsKmHkck/TLyg_tKMw_I/AAAAAAAAAJw/11BCeT1vc-8/s400/jude+poster+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529471458818704370" /></a><br /><br />these are the opening words from the song my husband wrote for our son. i know, too sweet. it is now framed in his room<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1VumsKmHkck/TLyiAciRpuI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/tZ3ZQ4SIucY/s1600/IMG_4160.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1VumsKmHkck/TLyiAciRpuI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/tZ3ZQ4SIucY/s400/IMG_4160.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529472571047782114" /></a><br /><br />also, i'm working on some ideas for Christmas and will be announcing a new name for the business and other exciting news - stay tuned...joy - designerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09402867880368820195noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604916035152540393.post-17351236210036883992010-10-14T15:38:00.004-05:002010-10-14T16:32:14.612-05:00i love this little girl!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1VumsKmHkck/TLd21zWlLmI/AAAAAAAAAJo/XQzuqD0hkDU/s1600/callie+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1VumsKmHkck/TLd21zWlLmI/AAAAAAAAAJo/XQzuqD0hkDU/s400/callie+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528017734310637154" /></a><br /><br /><br />i spent this afternoon working on different ideas for this beautiful girl and her even more beautiful mama.
