Whimsical with a little bit of magic
Hey, y’all!
Meet my dog Rudy. He takes a better picture than me so he’s been elected to oversee the shop.
Speaking of shops...you might be wondering about our name. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved frogs. Not the real ones, mind you. More like the soft and cuddly ones. As for the pen, it’s a nod to a time when invitations and cards were hand written. As a result, you get Frog With A Pen.
The whimsical shop name comes from years of creative thinking. Long before computers, I was decorating our bay window for the holidays and making characters to use on the bulletin board where my mom worked. Getting a computer opened up a whole ‘nother world for my imagination...mostly in the form of newsletters filled with graphics. Fast forward many, many, many years to when I was introduced to Canva. I immediately felt at home designing printable invitations. I’d get in the zone and lose all track of time. Next thing you know, it’s several hours and many invitations later. That’s how much of a liking I have for what I do.
Along the way, a recurring character—Benny Barebones—has joined us in the shop. He adds personality, polish, and a subtle wink of whimsy to select designs. However he may show up, my goal is always the same: to create invitations that feel thoughtful, a little unexpected, and made to be enjoyed.
