Well, its time to get back to the real world! I am officially back from maternity leave! My little Dean is 2 months old and big brother Alec is adjusting nicely! I am excited to get back to work and grow this little business of mine! Hope to meet your babies and families soon and create memories that will last you FOREVER! Thank you soo much for your friendship and support during my little break! Back to work, people!!

Welcome Dean Nicholas Garrido!

2009-04-09T14:12:00.000-07:00

My little man has arrived! On April 2, 2009 at 10:06 am, Dean Nicholas was born. He surprised us all 8 days before his due date and was 7lbs 13oz and 21.5" long! I really can't complain about this little angel, he gave me an easy delivery and has been a wonderful sweet boy! Our friend, Karen, from Hello World! Photography came and took some amazing & priceless photo of him coming into the world, click here for more pics!

Big brother, Alec, is in love with him ... just as much as we are! Welcome home, baby!

Introducing Karla ...

2009-04-09T13:46:00.000-07:00

I'd like you to meet my friend, Karla! Karla will be my little lifesaver while I am on maternity leave and I can't thank her enough! She has been in the early childhood education industry for the last 16 years and has had tons of experience doing little handprints of all her students throughout the years! Hopefully, you will have the opportunity to meet her soon, she is awesome! Thanks, Karla!!

The Barraque Family!

2009-03-24T18:13:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics that I just got from the Barraque Family! They did a gorgeous plate with all 5 of their handprints! It came out beautiful and they placed it in a perfect stand and spot in their home! Thank you so much for sending me the photos, Rebekah! I love it and am so happy to see it displayed so beautifully in your home!

Almost time for baby #2!

2009-02-22T07:11:00.000-08:00

Our last little trip before B-Day (baby birth-day)! Thought this pic was beautiful and wanted to share! I will be going on maternity leave beginning of April and just want to remind everyone to get your orders in early for Mother's day and Father's day! I have a great assistant helping me while I'm on leave but limited appts will be taken after April! I'll keep you updated on the baby arrival!

Alec's 3rd Birthday!

2009-02-22T06:56:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we celebrated my son's 3rd Birthday! So I thought it would be cute to display his little 3 year old handprint!! It still amazes me how my his little hand could grow so much in a year!! Happy Birthday, Alec!

It's a Boy!

2008-11-24T14:45:00.000-08:00

It's a BOY! Well, as most of you probably know I was sure I was going to have a GIRL this time, but as you can see by picture #1 that God blessed me with another man in my life. lol He's due April 10th, 2009!

Happy Halloween!

Creative Mommy!

2008-11-03T18:50:00.001-08:00

Michelle, one creative mommy, made this awesome shadow box with a foot magnet! I love it! It came out sooo good and I wanted to share it with everyone and maybe give you some Christmas gift inspiration! If you've also done something cool with a "Little Impression", I would LOVE to see it!!!

Danielle's Party at the Studio!

We had a party for the first time at the studio! It was great!! Thank you so much, Danielle for being the first one! All the kiddos were sooo good! I think they really got a kick out of watching me roll out the clay! =) Thanks again, ladies!

Right Start - The Woodlands

2008-10-11T19:09:00.000-07:00

Well, this past weekend I went to the Right Start in The Woodlands (Houston Area) and it was a huge success! I will definitely be back in the area again! I tried out my new Little Necklaces and they were a hit with the moms!! On a personal note, my husband and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary that day too and it was great getaway for us too! =)

Garrido's Race for the Cure

2008-10-05T15:36:00.000-07:00

I forgot about this! My family and I decided to do a little giving back! This summer we did the Komen Race for the Cure in Plano! Its was awesome and I want to do it every year! Maybe next year, we can get a "Little Impressions team" together!!! =)

Little Impressions is now located in Art & Clay on Barton in Downtown Grapevine!

2008-08-01T18:46:00.000-07:00

We just moved to Grapevine this month and I am so so excited! I now have a studio location inside of Art & Clay on Barton, which is located in Historic Downtown Grapevine! This is a great opportunity for me and especially for my customers to have a location where they can come to! I will only be working by appointments out of the studio and will still do home, hospital visits and parties! I am super excited, exhausted and looking forward to what the future holds for Little Impressions! Big thank you to Betty (Owner of Art & Clay on Barton and fellow claygirl) for the great space!!

We feed him, I swear!

This year we shared a booth with A New Bohemian and I really had a good time with Cheryl and June! Their work is so awesome and I probably spent more money then I should have! ;-) The event was a great success, thanks to old customers and new customers that I saw there!
