What's in a nickname???

Because we are a little a lot corny ( I like to throw Michelle in there too but she, I don't think is as corny and wacko as I am) we love nicknames for people. I love to give people funny little nicknames that my close friends can appreciate. I don't mean derogatory nicknames, just little names that have to do with others personalities/situations (kind of like "The Situation" from Jersey Shore) that remind me of them.

Example 1

Here we have our crazy, wonderfully sweet friend Tanya and her family. 

Tanya, Brad, Eloise, Claire and baby Sawyer aka Kikkoman

Let's just say... Tanya LOVES to shop. She has several addictions like buying MacBeth Buckets, Mackenzie Childs, Petti Skirts for her daughters...the list goes on and I don't have enough space on blogger to list them all. Well one day we all found a great deal on petti skirts (shown below)

Ella and her daddy on her 4th birthday

Most of us ordered one or two of the fabulous bundles of twirl with the exception of....you guessed it Tanya!!!! I still am not sure the exact number of these beauties she ordered but let's just say it was above 10 and possibly above 20 but who's counting...right. All of this is to say... my little friend Tanya is now known lovingly as PETTI forever!!! 

Now even better...Petti's husband was working on a ladder one day and he gracefully fell from way up on the chimney top plummeting to the ground gouging his head open. He had to go to the ER to have a few X-rays and wound up with a few lots of staples in his head. Now what kind of friend would I be if he did not have a nickname? That would be no friend at all. Now he is lovingly known as... STAPLEHEAD.

Example 2

Like most people, my husband (shown above with the smile) can occasionally be crabby making life really fun for all of us that live under the same roof. When he is "having his moment" we very lovingly call him Grandpa Dale (his father who can at times be a wee bit crabby). He instantly knows to look at himself and about 95% of the time his actions are followed by .... I'm sorry. Just keepin it real here.

Example 3 and Final example for tonight

If you scroll down a few posts in this blogidy blog, you will see a really cute lady girl with short funky hair better known as Amye. Not only is she really sweet, but she is super duper funny!!!! So for the first time, I have had someone else give us a nickname. You got it, Amye came up with a good one. Michelle and I have our own nickname and do we love it!!!!! (Although Michelle is known as the VOR...Voice of Reason by some :) It is possibly the best description one could have for the two of us. We are Michelle and Kim now known as

Frame Freaks

Our husbands can attest to the new name we have taken on. We have frames everywhere and that is topic of all conversation when we are not talking about the latest most adorable must have outfit.....for our girls :)

Mucho love.....

Frame Freaks

Do you sometimes forget your name?

I am here to solve your problems just incase you somehow forget your name or need to remind a friend of their name. Yep... monogrammed frames. You heard me right, but I will say it again. Monogram aka Personalized with your name on it frames!!!! Southerners love a monogram, so we are here to assist your aching needs for another thing to display your lovely name. 

Much nicer than having to wear a name tag ... agree:)

At the beginning of this little business venture of making frames which we just fell into, Michelle and I would have conversations like this...

Michelle: Do you think anyone will buy these?

Kim: Of course... I can't imagine we are the only crackheads that think these are cute!

Michelle: Well that is true, but are they really cute or do we just think they are cute?

Robbie (Michelle's husband): People better think they are cute because at this point I am losing money!

Kim ( to Robbie): Oh hush...I told you we are building an empire ... very Jay-Z, now pipe down!!

You know...I had to put on my boots and spurs and lay down the law cuz that's how I roll ( Robbie of course just rolled his eyes) next time...I am going full holster. Now where was I...

After many conversations like that, I am happy to say we are getting many request for home shows and people wanting to see our inventory so I am going to list several frames we have on hand right now but we are making new babies daily (that sounded really odd) but we are odd like that. We can also make a custom baby for you.

We also are happy as a mouse driving a cheese truck about our kid and tween line...

As you see the sky is the limit. We have hundreds of designs we can make, so with that said... we must be going to our sweat shop to make a frame or a few hundred.

GNO meets Jay-Z one frame at a time

Call me Miley Cyrus... we had a GNO!!!!! Girls Night Out that is.  We had so much fun catching up with many wonderful ladies and oh the laughs. My innards are still aching from the laughing. A huge thank you to Cheryl and Amye for hosting a fabulous home show for Paperwhite Designs and She's Crafty.  Toni who is the "crafty she" behind She's Crafty is so talented and it was a pleasure to be able to share a home show with a true artist!!!

Cheryl and Jane (love the belt buckle)

Sweet Amye trying to choose...She decided and got the award for most purchased...8 frames later:)

This was our first home show and it was such a success for us. So many wonderful woman gave us great feedback on our frames which made us feel like our little idea could lead us to a successful business. Just call us JayZ.... just building an Empire one frame at a time:) Cooper even scored a frame.

Many of our babies left us last night. 21 total...Man that makes us sound like we are The Duggars. Every frame we make becomes our baby. We are personally attached to them all but we have no problem kicking them out of the nest into another home where they can be loved. No free loaders here. 

Here are some of our babies that flew the coop...

and finally we have this little love...she just about caused blood shed with the fighting over who she was going home with....

If you are interested in hosting a home show, email us kim@paperwhite-designs.com and we can set a date! We can promise you many cute frames and lots of laughs... were are a sure thing when it comes to laughs:)

Three views of FAITH

Ok...so I sit here watching American Idol and I am biting my finger nails off. What is up with that? I am not there singing...I am not going to have my life changed by the results!!! But I sit here now...with no nails. I think I need a pill...like one that requires a prescription..... immediately !!!!

I guess if I were in a huge competition like AI, the Olympics, Wimbledon, are you following me.... I would have uglier hands than I do now, but I have decided my days of singing, skiing, bobsledding and tennis at a professional level are not going to happen, so I guess I should work on my hands a little more and keep making frames.

Anywaaaaaay...not sure what that has to do with my little featured friends. These little ladies are special in so many ways.

FAITH

12X12 (5X7)

7X9 (4X6)

8X8 (4X4)


Can you tell we have a lot of love for FAITH? We can not get enough of her. When we think of FAITH this verse comes to mind...

Matthew 17 verses 20-21 NLT it says:

"You didn't have enough faith," Jesus told them. "I assure you, if you had faith as small as a mustard seed you could say to this mountain, 'move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible."

 She could possibly be our
signature frame.

If you are interested in FAITH, email us or send us a message on FACEBOOK and we can get her to you quickly. We would not want you to live one second longer with our her.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Because Valentines Day is only a few days away...I thought I would share a few things I LOVE!!!!

Actually there are many.... but who has 95 hours to sit and read about the quirky things I LOVE.

Of course God and my family are at the top of my LOVE list But... I am talking stuff...

Hello LOVE...COME TO MAMMA!!

Picture belongs to Moms in Style

Stop the press...Denise the designer behind Matilda Jane has out done herself this time! This is part of The Hammond Bay Collection for Spring. Everything is so amazing and the mommy pieces.... well they are just screaming my name! I wonder if they make this dress in my size? Now that would be a sight! If you are feeling the LOVE you can contact me and I can let you know how to order.

Then we have all of this LOVE from the amazingly talented Cristy of Paperlili. Not only is she super talented but she is gorgeous, stylish and has two daughters that are so cute you can hardly stand it.

 

She has blinged out tees, leggings and headbands that are too cute for words!!!!

If you don't know about THE PIONEER WOMAN, you are missing out on a large part of life. Ree Drummond aka The Pioneer Woman, is hilarious. She shares her life on her daily blog and also includes her love for photography, cooking, and homeschooling her four punks on a ranch in Oklahoma in the middle of nowhere. She just put out a cookbook that is more than recipes, it is the story of meeting her Marlboro Man and photographs of her life as a city girl turned wife of a cattle rancher. Oh yeah... her mac-n-cheese.... I am here to tell you.... it is quite possible it is the best thing I have ever put past these lips.

you can purchase this book through the Amazon.com link to the right.

Then we have my latest LOVES. I not only LOVE them because my partner and I create them, but they are just too cute not to LOVE . Today... I am feeling the LOVE for....

Lady Blue

She is the LOVE muffin of the day.  She is looking for a new home so if there are any of you out there that have a little counter space for her, just email us at Paperwhite-designs.

Happy Valentines Day!
