Invitations - How Do You Like To Receive Them?

Invitations come in many forms these days. From a face to face conversation to a cell phone call, or perhaps a text mess. (not sure I like that one) but the best ones I think are the ones that you open that put a smile on your face as you read it! An invitation that gets you excited about the party or event that you can attend! Recently I received two Zazzle Awards for invitations I created for my store. That was really exciting for me. Both of them were 'Birthday' invitations that I had designed. Winning those awards means that my invitations are in the 'Featured' section for 2 weeks and will get lots of extra exposure. Yay! I thought I'd show you some of my recent 'invitations' that I've been working on! If you're looking for something in the way of invitations of any sort come by my store Shell's Designs

Aloha - From Kauai, Hawaii

Arrived home yesterday from a beautiful week in Kauai, Hawaii. It was my first time to visit this island and what an amazing place for a holiday. If you're seeking a vacation with the most beautiful nature, oceans, beaches and tropical vegetation this is definitely a place to see. You can guess I took a vast amount of pictures at every opportunity I could get. I'll share a few with you here. I'll also be using many of these great shots on products that I sell in my store Shell's Designs, so you'll want to pop by for a visit and see what unique gift items are featuring designs from Kauai. My husband and I did an amazing hike, saw the Grand Canyon of Kauai, went kayaking on the Wailua River, snorkeling, swimming and many other fun adventures. It was a fabulous time together. I think I'll be very busy in the coming weeks writing lens' for squidoo about our trip. Stay tuned...
