Custom Preppy Christmas

An adorable non-traditional Holiday card I recently created for Megan. She requested an flat note card with herself dressed in black and white dress, pink ribbon tie, and pink heels holding her favorite martini. She resides in Washington, DC, so it was only appropriate to incorporate the DC skyline to her custom illustration in pink of course!

Megan couldn't be happier and can't wait to mail out her special personalized cards!

Custom Holiday Order

Custom Holiday orders coming in! This is just one of the adorable designs I've been working on this week! I had to share it because it's a "spin-off" of the ever so popular Santa Baby Walking Her Pooch stationery set, instead featuring her leading man and even a cat!

Remember, if you are interested in a custom order, please note our turnaround time for Custom Cards during the holidays is 1-2 weeks from order confirmation.

Enjoy!

Pugsgiving 2010

Pugsgiving is upon us! Lydia & Pugs will have a booth this year at the 8th Annual Pugsgiving event for the Pug Rescue of Florida! I am beyond excited to apart of the event this year!

Friendly, leashed dogs displaying their current rabies tags are welcome to enjoy Pugsgiving. There will be plenty of opportunities for them to join the festivities. An all-breed Halloween costume contest, Christmas-themed and fall-themed photos of you and your pets, and yoga with your dog are some of the offerings this year.

I've been working around the clock getting all the L&P goodies together to sell at Pugsgiving! I will be posting throughout the event on Saturday via Twitter and our Facebook Fan Page!

For more info please check out their webpage.

Looking forward to seeing all my Floridian or even non-Floridan pug fans there!

Etiquette Wednesday

Q: You’re planning an office shower for your pregnant colleague. What’s the best way to collect money for a group gift?

A: Announce that you’ll be choosing a group gift and that those wishing to help should come to you with donations. As the host, you handle the invites and snacks-but leave donations up to each guest. While a group gift is convenient, someone may prefer giving on her own. To help individual givers, find out a few things from the guest of honor: whether she’s registered, what baby items she already has, and whether it’s a boy or a girl (if she knows and is spilling the beans).

Q: While waiting for a treadmill at the gym, you notice that one jogger has gone over the 20-minute courtesy limit. What do you do?

A: Politely ask the woman to wrap up her workout so others can have a turn. Assuming that the time limit is prominently posted, speak directly to the jogger. She may have figured she’d just stay on the machine until someone asked her to get off. Or maybe she’s not aware of the rule, in spite of the signs. Whichever the case, go with a friendly “Excuse me, did you know there’s a 20-minute time limit on the treadmills? Do you think you’ll be finished soon?” If that doesn’t work, then you’ll have to go to the manager.
