Good morning! 

I hope you all had a great weekend.
For us, it was a weekend spent with family after the passing of Brian's grandma. 

I've learned that moments like these are never easy...

No matter how you look at it. 

But it helps bring back perspective and enables you to enjoy the 

small things in life that bring joy. 

Be it a simple flower in a garden, a cup of coffee in the early morning, 

or holding a sleepy baby. 

Take those moments and store them in your pocket. 

It's the small things that can help get you through tough times.

Mother- Daughter Apron Set

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Believe it or not... Mother's Day is just a few short weeks away. 

I will now always remember Mother's Day as the very beginning of Lindsay P Designs...

I wanted to make my mom an apron with my new sewing machine 

but couldn't find the style pattern I was envisioning.

 So I decided to just try it on my own and fell in love with the way it turned out. 

Simple with feminine flair. 

I then proceeded to make 3 more for my sisters and I!

I'll be offering a few fun Mother's Day specials coming up...

the first being the Mother-Daughter Apron Set.

 Customize it too! 

In the comment box at checkout, specify if you would like a white or natural apron along with your desired French fabric.

Order before May 5th to receive in time.

Stay tuned for more Mother's Day treats!

Non-Profit Receiver

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

We have wrapped up giving donations to Strong Against Cancer 

and are on to the next non profit.

With Memorial Day soon approaching I thought it would be great to give to an organization for our veterans.

April-June, 10% of the profits of all sales will go toward

Puget Sound Honor Flight

"Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's veterans for all their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans--World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill."

My sister will be volunteering as a nurse and going on their upcoming trip in May and I am so excited to hear first hand about the experience. 

What better time then around Memorial Day weekend to give to this organization.

Have a great Monday!

Vintage Baseball

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend.

In celebration for opening day for baseball season, 

I thought I would introduce the latest card for all of the baseball lovers out there. 

Our family grew up watching baseball, particularly the Mariners. 

Of course, the 1995 playoffs being the most vivid baseball memories for 

baseball fans around here...

getting to skip school to go to the playoff game, 

decked out in navy and teal and my dad and sister even 

landing a small quote in the Seattle Times...

Spring training in arizona...

waiting after the games to get autographs and snapping pictures of all the players as they drove on by...

This card is simple but there are so many great memories behind it!

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Spring!

We are almost a week into Spring already!

I love this time of year. 

It used to be because of my birthday when I was young...

but now i love it for so many more reasons,

The change in scenery and in the air. 

Flowers are budding and lawns are beginning to be worked on. 

I love it. 

The fresh smell of grass and lawn mowers being heard.

It was a wonderful low key weekend celebrating my birthday. 

Nothing beats spending time with my little family and being spoiled with delicious food! 

Lately I can't stop thinking about how much has changed in just this past year. 

Exactly a year ago, we were going along each day, fairly content with where we were at in life but at the same time, craving some change. 

I had absolutely no idea what God had in store for us. 

It's been a year full of many blessings and a lot of change.

I am so thankful for it all. 

I sometimes think that I don't think this next year can beat last year...but with this sweet little guy changing everyday...I'm sure it will.

Hope you all have a great week!

Cherry Blossoms

It's hard to believe spring is right around the corner. 

I was so excited when I started to see the little green buds on our hydrangeas...

not to mention the cherry blossom tree that I (somehow!)

 didn't realize we had until recently! 

So with that I thought I would introduce the latest spring card...

Cherry Blossoms

Available at lindsaypdesigns.com!

Stay tuned for more cards and check out our other spring cards available year round!

Have a great rest of the week!

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a good weekend and Valentine's Day!

.....

I gained one of the greatest gifts the day Sam was born. 

Having waited an extra four days past my due date, (which seemed like eternity!)

 I was so ready to meet him. 

Those first days after were a bit of a blur. 

Between feeding and changing diapers and getting to know this new little being...

it was pretty indescribable.

.....

I found out two days later that my grandpa unexpectedly passed away just hours before sweet Sam was born. 

To process it all was hard.

 I was torn between two extreme emotions. 

The joy and amazement of having just given birth to Sam, 

and a deep sadness and confusion as to why my grandpa had passed...

.....

But through it all there is a sense of beauty. 

knowing that that day won't be filled with just sadness but celebration as well 

and I believe God intended it to be that way. 

I know there is a greater purpose and God works in wonderful and mysterious ways.

.....

This weekend we celebrated my grandpa and all that he is to us...

the baseball loving, card game teaching, pancake making, cookie dough sneaking, always smiling, most loving grandpa us grandkids could've had. 

And now our sweet guardian angel!
