</h1> <article> <h1>new blog design</h1> <p>Sharon — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:26:49 +0000</p> <p>We have had a really busy summer; we have had 13 adoption profile design clients since June, and I am happy to announce that we have heard from 10 of those families that <strong>have already been chosen</strong> by a birth mom or placed with a child. We are so happy for all of you! Three of the families were chosen within the first few weeks after there profile was complete.</p> <p>Personally the summer also included a move for our family as well as a wonderful family vacation to Disneyland! We decided to kick off the fall with a new blog design. Speaking of fall, its almost time to start thinking about Christmas and Holiday cards (even Costco has already begun to decorate) ☺ We will be posting a coupon in the near future for Christmas cards, stay tuned…</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ForeverFamilyDesigns?a=UdU5KJiNpfI:_5lHQ026W6o:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>coupon code</h1> <p>Megan — Mon, 03 May 2010 18:56:06 +0000</p> <p style="text-align: center;">for the whole month of <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: medium;">MAY </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;">we have a coupon</p> <p style="text-align: center;">offering <span style="color: #13e7eb;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"><span>$10 </span></span></span>off your complete order</p> <p style="text-align: center;">when you order<em> birth announcements</em> AND matching<em> thank you cards</em>.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">You can view and purchase them in <a href="http://theshoppe.nextproof.com/galleries/baby-announcements-5x7" target="_blank">our Shoppe </a>.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em> <a href="http://foreverfamilydesigns.com/blog/wp-content/gallery/spring-post/springcouponblog1.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic83" > </a> </em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em> <a href="http://foreverfamilydesigns.com/blog/wp-content/gallery/spring-post/springcouponblog2.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic81" > </a> </em></p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ForeverFamilyDesigns?a=qYW8frZhCUg:jUs5UYCOq4I:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>announce your new addition in COLOR!</h1> <p>Sharon — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 17:52:57 +0000</p> <p style="text-align: center;">We have <em><strong> many </strong></em>new<strong> baby announcements</strong> in our Shoppe!</p> <p style="text-align: center;">A <strong><em>sprinkling</em></strong> of color variations depending on your<em><strong> style </strong></em>and <em><strong>flair! </strong></em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><a title="The Shoppe | Baby Announcements" href="http://theshoppe.nextproof.com/galleries/baby-announcements-5x7" target="_blank"> Come in and look</a></em><em> around… </em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em> <a href="http://foreverfamilydesigns.com/blog/wp-content/gallery/spring-post/blogannouncolors.jpg" title="These custom birth and adoption announcements are available in a variety of colors." class="shutterset_singlepic79" > </a> </em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><br /> </em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <p style="text-align: center;"> <p style="text-align: center;"> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ForeverFamilyDesigns?a=2IdjDJuQj3Y:nwZRdLK5YZw:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Congratulations Laura… Welcome Hailey!</h1> <p>Sharon — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 00:32:27 +0000</p> <p>While I am designing an adoption profile, I get to spend many hours getting to know the families I am working with, their stories and most of all their hopes and dreams of building their families through adoption. It is a huge honor and blessing when the families email or give me a call to let me know their long awaited little one has arrived.</p> <p>Laura was no exception to this! I was happy to work with her last fall to design an adoption profile that reflected who she is, and the life she would provide a child to the expectant parents considering an adoption plan for their child.</p> <p>I was able to rejoice with Laura just four short months when she emailed me to let me know she had her beautiful daughter in her arms. I was honored when she asked me to design an adoption announcement to welcome precious Hailey. Congratulations Laura… enjoy every moment of being a mommy!<br /> Adoption Announcement Front</p> <a href="http://foreverfamilydesigns.com/blog/wp-content/gallery/laura-hailey/hailey-front-pink1.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic78" > </a> <br /> Adoption Announcement Back</p> <p> <a href="http://foreverfamilydesigns.com/blog/wp-content/gallery/laura-hailey/hailey-backpink.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic75" > </a> <br /> A page from Laura’s Adoption Profile</p> <p> <a href="http://foreverfamilydesigns.com/blog/wp-content/gallery/laura-hailey/laura-adoption-profile-sample.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic77" > </a> <p>*The beautiful photographs in the adoption announcement were taken by <a href="http://www.krysiaphotography.com">Krysia Photography</a></p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ForeverFamilyDesigns?a=6LsIImL2CYA:ht7eH2CnshE:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!</h1> <p>Sharon — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 18:33:13 +0000</p> <p>Merry Christmas from our family to yours!</p> <a href="http://foreverfamilydesigns.com/blog/wp-content/gallery/christmas/christmas-09-2-front.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic74" > </a> <a href="http://foreverfamilydesigns.com/blog/wp-content/gallery/christmas/christmas-09-2-back-no-pics.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic73" > </a> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ForeverFamilyDesigns?a=Ts1STFKdpvc:CwAs1KAP1Yc:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Check out our new look!</h1> <p>Sharon — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:16:36 +0000</p> <p>We have launched a new design of our website, you can check it out at <a title="Forever Family Designs LLC" href="http://www.foreverfamilydesigns.com" target="_blank">http://www.foreverfamilydesigns.com</a>.</p> <p>The new <a title="Forever Family Designs" href="http://www.foreverfamilydesigns.com" target="_blank">website</a> features:</p> <p>*easier navigation menu</p> <p>*a new FAQ page</p> <p>*larger galleries for viewing example profiles and proofing your adoption profile during the design process</p> <p>*a link to our new <a title="The Shoppe" href="http://theshoppe.nextproof.com" target="_blank">Shoppe</a>, where you may view and purchase all of our baby announcements, holiday cards, and custom birth mother gifts.</p> <p>Thank you to <a title="Big Folio" href="http://www.bigfolio.com" target="_blank">BigFolio</a> for the great site layout and all the awesome customer service during the design and launch process!
