THE SHOP STORY

I didn't plan to sell ABC Books for Baby Showers and Personalized Coloring Pages when I started my shop. It started when I was creating invitations and party goods for friends and family and would then post my complete design in my shop to sell (My sister's wedding led to lots of new products in my shop!) It wasn't until I'd had two of my own kids and hosted several baby showers for friends and my sister, that the idea was finally born to create an ABC Coloring Book Baby Shower Activity (just wish it'd been a little sooner for those baby showers I hosted!) Through popular demand, I've quickly expanded to several other "Baby's First" books (Numbers, Colors, Shapes, School Theme ABC's, and ABC Book with Family Add-on)! My daughter is my best test subject. She loves coloring my pages and also loves to art direct her own coloring sheets for me to print so she can color.

MY STORY

As a child, my first official design job was to create a business card for myself using MacPaint on my Dad's Mac Classic computer. My business name was "Samy's Paper Works" and included my custom balloon illustrations with pattern fills.

Well, I didn't veer too much from my initial plan (though, there were other plans along the way like becoming an Architect...until I realized there was just a bit too much precision involved for me!) Now over 10 years into my graphic design career in publishing, I'm thrilled to be selling personalized Coloring Books and other paper goods in my shop!

Thanks for stopping by!
