Baby Hannah Announcement

Hi there! I've been meaning to post about the baby announcement that I made for baby Hannah, but with new mommyhood, I'm at the mercy of her schedule! So now that she's asleep, I just wanted to share these cards I sent out to my family and friends. Since I was on bed rest for the last few weeks of my pregnancy, I had time to make something special for her. Enjoy!

And meet baby Hannah! : )

Hello Again!

It's been so long since we posted. Two months past and so many amazing things happened. D*LSH Design is still here and growing! First and foremost, Henny just had a healthy baby girl. She is the cutest thing ever. Her name is Hannah. She's going to make a lot of appearances on here so please welcome her in this world. Here's Mama and her baby girl.

I have a feeling she's going to be our little muse. "Hannah what do you think of this color? What about this type?" It's going to be so much fun!

Oh and we don't want to forget Henny's birthday! Happy birthday Henny! She turned the big 3-0!!! Ya!

Next, it's 43 more days til my wedding day! Yes! Can you believe it. This kind of explains my absence. I've been away creating and designing things for my wedding. I'm so excited. I can't wait to marry my best friend. I will start posting more pictures of my invite, ideas, and all the things I've been creating. You're going to love it.

Now on to business. We launched 2 more issues for UtterlyEngaged.com and it's been such a huge success. I love everything about it. Especially being able to work with some amazing and creative people in the wedding industry such as Eva of Red Velvet Occasions, Bonnie Tsang, Summer of Grey Likes Weddings, Stephanie Williams, Carissa of JL Designs, Melody of Sweet and Saucy Shop, Johanna of LotusHaus,  Brandon Kidd, Brian Khang, Paige of Bash Eco Events, Charley Star, Danni of Oh Hello Friend, Darci of With This Ring Blog, Anne-Marie of PerfectBound, Sweet Paul, Dana of Broke-Ass Bride, Ellsworth Photography, Jeffrey Neal of JNP Studios ... gosh the list goes on and on. We're constantly inspired and we feel so blessed to be doing what we're doing. We're already in the works of creating our 4th issue. So we're going to start blogging about some behind the scenes stuff as we create our issues. In the meantime, if you haven't seen the last 2 issue, take a look here. Let us know what you think.

Tomorrow I'll be back to blog about some new invites and brands we've created! So be back to check it out. We miss you! We promise to be blogging some more from now on.

Bonnie + Venise + D*LSH + Patchwork = FUN!

We had so much fun on Sunday! Bonnie Tsang and her daughter Venise was truly a treat to meet. The day started off with a nice lunch at Memphis in Santa Ana and we drove down to Patchwork for a sunny outdoor fun, checking out handmade crafts and local artists. We couldn't get enough of Venise and get over how cute she is!

Bonnie, Venise, and D*LSH

One of the cool things about the Patchwork was actually meeting some of our favorite bloggers/etsy sellers in person! We met with Dani from oh, hello friend and Myra from double-sided tape!

 

Before we left, we also got to say hi to Nicole from Random Nicole, Courtney from C Salt Gourmet, and we bumped into Thao Vu, my wedding photographer! Awesome! Can't ask for a better Sunday.
