BonBoards in the Community

I recently had a vendor table at a local event where I was able to highlight my work and meet some people from the community. Since it was my first experience participating in a vendor show, I wasn't quite sure what to expect! But the event was great, I was able to do some networking with other local artists and entrprenuers, and I even took a few orders! If I do say so myself, the BonBoards table was definitely the most colorful :)

One of the best parts of my night was getting to meet Mallery. She was about 8 years old and she LOVED the BonBoards. Since her name is spelled differently than most other Mallory's, she has a hard time finding things with her name on it. So the idea of getting a BonBoard for her room with her name spelled correctly was really exciting to her. She picked out the board she wanted, and then I personalized it right there for her! I let her pick out the color she wanted her name to be written in as well as the pushpins to match the board. It was so neat for me to see her little mind searching through all of the pushpins. I would have picked the flower and butterfly pushpins to match the board, but Mallery picked: a frog, three cupcakes, and a flower. This experience with Mallery was the coolest part of the night for me -- the reason I love BonBoards is because they are personalized to what that person wants ... and the pushpins Mallery picked completely symbolized that for me.

I'm participating in another show this Friday, June 1st from 5-9pm called the Trolley Bazaar. You can find more information about the event here! I hope to see you there :)

Baby Isabelle

Do you remember my cousin's adorable twins? Well another one of my cousins recently gave birth to her first baby, Isabelle Lindsey. Here she is -- isn't she the sweetest?

For her baptism, I wanted to make her a BonBoard that would match her room. Since her room is pink and green paisley, I went with this board:

And since the cake was in the same colors, they set up the BonBoard as a backsplash to the cake!

Welcome to the world, little Isabelle!

Let BonBoards be a part of your special day!

I'm excited to announce that BonBoards has officially ventured into the wedding world! My friend Kelsey is getting married in July so I'm making her three BonBoards that she'll able to use at her wedding. They will all be in her wedding colors and will have adorable sayings on the bottom. She's using them to display the table numbers where her guests are to be seated. The bonus? She's getting them well before her wedding day so she can use them at her bridal shower, too, to display pictures of her and her future hubby. Adorable! I also just filled an order for a bride in KENTUCKY... do you know what that means? It means I shipped BonBoards and they showed up in one piece! She wanted to give BonBoards as gifts at the rehearsal dinner for the two girls in her wedding that were doing the readings. She wanted a "Wine Down" board, and a UK board for the Kentucky fan. As a wine drinker myself, this is one of my favorite boards I've ever made! I thought the wine bottle needed a little something so I added ribbon and some brads to spice it up:

I also had a lot of fun making this UK board. My beau is a huge UK fan, and so are my sister and her husband, so maybe now that I've gotten the UK logo down I'll be able to make them some presents! :)

Let me know if you want to let BonBoards be a part of your special day -- they make great bridesmaid gifts, flower girl gifts, and there are a lot of neat ways we can incorporate them into the actual ceremony or reception!

Long Day? Wine Down!

This MagBoard is for the wine lover!

The color scheme is neutral enough that it could match most kitchens or would be adorable above a basement bar! Custom pushpins come with the design. Interested in this MagBoard? Come to the show on Friday at PS Dupont or you can order one and I'll make it especially for the wine-lover in your life!

So many Phillies Phans

The BonBoard I make that gets the most "oohs and ahhs" are the Phillies boards. It must be because I live near Philly, and everyone who lives near Philly seems to be a HUGE fan. Thanks to a recommendation from my beau (another Phillies fan!), I made this board:

You'll have to excuse the lighting on it -- it sort of looks like the P is pink instead of red, but I promise in real life it looks great :) Interested in this board? Come to my show on Friday at PS Dupont! Or, just click the button on the right hand side of the screen that says "Order Now" and I'll custom make one for you!
