My. Bin. Is. Full! orange shirts out the WAZOO! I have a couple extra shirts here that I have finished (also some that I’ll need a couple days to complete- ran out of white on the third last shirt of course LOL) and also had a request for a support button for those who can’t wear the shirts to work! If anyone would be interested I can whip up a batch of these wooden buttons (swipe to see on IG) with pin backs for $8 each with $2 from each going to the women’s shelter in Calgary here as well. thanks

Orange shirt update! I have only about 10 more shirts to finish here I’m sorry for the delay- I was hoping the shirts would arrive on time (like, MONDAY) and they were delayed until THURSDAY. Seriously anyways, super busy late week this week so I’ve been working late (early? Does it count as early if you work till 2 am?) nights with my trusty gummy candies to keep me company in the wee hours and I’m almost finished all 50 shirts in 2 days marathon maker. I’m sorry for the delay and I’m SO excited to have these all finished for you guys! thanks for your patience What’s your go to midnight snack?

Ok Friends! Who needs a new orange shirt day shirt? I hate how early into the school year it is it sort of sneaks up on me every time so I feel like I can barely get organized BUT we can totally do this! I would just need to get all orders CONFIRMED and paid for in full before this weekend and we would be fine. It's the 30th this year so it should be plenty of time to get the shirts ordered and completed without pulling any all nighters this time (ha!) Each shirt is $15. A d...onation will be made from the purchase of each shirt to the Calgary Women's Shelter this year. Sizes xs kids all the way up to 3xl adults UNISEX available. Toddler and infant sizes are not available BUT I can make a black or white shirt with an orange feather design if you'd like! Please share if your friends would like shirts this year as well since we don't have a TON of time to get this order in it will help this post be seen by not only your friends but also those who follow my page here :) Thanks! Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. See more

Quick update* Our family lost a very loved and important member today. I will not be replying to messages until the weekend as I just need some time offline. Thank you for understanding.

Please forgive me if my response time isn’t super quick today (or possibly the next few days) my puppy (ok she’s an old lady- just turned 10) is really sick and we are just dealing with that right now keep her in your thoughts and please be patient with me thank you

Please excuse the glare on the pictures I am just TOO EXCITED to share these to wait and spend all day trying to get the perfect lighting Introducing my new acrylic learning boards! Completely washable and wipeable for use with dry erase markers. Customizable to have anything you’d like on them! I’ve been struggling myself with trying to encourage my kiddos to write, and Summit is still struggling with forming his name (he figures a big S on everything is good enough ) s...o when I saw these engraved acrylic boards I had to make some for my babes I would LOVE to make some for your kiddos too! Some other ideas for boards I had: cursive writing, labelling the provinces/world map, basic addition or subtraction, sight word practice ETC! So many options! Each board is 8x10 and comes with one dry erase marker of a random colour. $25 each or 2 for $40. #redjaydesigns #custommade #nameboard #learningsupplies #homeeducation #yycmoms #yycmom #yychomeschool #yycentrepreneurs #shoplocalyyc #shopsmall #calgary #yyc #wahm #learning See more

Going into the school year one thing is certain this fall- everything should be labelled 100%. I’m so excited to announce this new product to help you do that!

I sat down to work on something new and beautiful today I forgot how much I absolutely love to paint. Would anyone be interested in a take ‘n paint kit? This is a solid wood picture laser cut and painted with acrylics therapeutic and such a beautiful finished project you can put on the wall and say oh you love it? Thanks I made it myself or better yet grab 5 of them and a bottle of wine and have a (socially distanced) party with your friends! #yyc #paintkit #mountains #wahm #shoplocalyyc #yycmoms #calgary #calgarycreative #redjaydesigns #paintingisamazing #myhandsaredirty #ilovepainting
