This Thanksgiving, we’ll be feasting with an amazing family.  Lovers of good food, great wine, and awesome beer, Liz and Sean are always excited to master the perfect pizza, homemade wine, or home-brewed beer.  (I think you can understand my excitement to share in the biggest food-eating day of the year with them!) To thank them for feeding me (and my always-eating, cyclist-husband - and my oddly-voracious toddler), I decided to make them a harvest beer bread mix set.  With harvesty notes of nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon, this mix will give your weary hostess a tasty break from hard work...

Since Little Sprout Creations started last April, we’ve been so excited to be able to give 10% of our profits to support Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief ministry. Every November, Samaritan’s Purse hosts Operation Christmas Child (OCC), a program to give shoe boxes filled with gifts to needy children around the world. This year, we decided to recruit our daughters Leah and Rory to fill boxes for kids.  As Leah is only 2 months old, Leah took care of the gift picking and box filling for both of them.  :)  OCC allows you to choose to fill a box for a boy or a girl, in either...

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be featuring (and giving away!) some of our most newest products.  Tonight we’re excited to introduce our line of thank you notes and personalized stationery - and especially excited about our “sewn tag” line.  After printing these 5.5x4.25” cards, we sew on a small tag - with a greeting message, your name, or monogram.  These unique cards are perfect for giving as gift, or for sending out as thank you cards for gifts you’ve received!

After a brief break for the birth of our second daughter, Rory Kate, the Little Sprout Creations printing presses are back up and running! We have a few projects from the summer to share in the coming weeks, but for now, it’s time for the 2010 Holiday Collection! You may be asking yourself, what’s with all of the stock designs?  Isn’t Little Sprout Creations all about uniquely custom products and designs? We’re not selling out, I promise you. In the past, we’ve asked clients to peek at some of the other paper goodies websites - tiny prints, etc., to get some ideas and inspiration...
