When I was put in charge of my best friend's bachelorette party, searching the options at the grocery store, I realized a standard fill-in-the-blank invitation wasn't going to cut it. The event was too special—no, she was too special—for just any old card. So I put my graphic design interest to work, and the result was personal, memorable, and it set the tone for the entire party.

And I loved every moment, from the card's creation, to seeing it in print, to the reaction of friends and family. That's when I decided to open Pinch of Spice—because every special event, every announcement, every occasion deserves a printed piece that people will react to, remember, and love.

Within a few years, thanks to enthusiastic Etsy users who agreed, my Pinch of Spice shop was so successful that I was able to work from home. Here I am able to raise my son, Kellen, and my daughter, Clara who inspire a lot of my baby announcement and children's party invitation designs. I also specialize in wedding save the dates and invitations, holiday cards, and shower and birthday party invitations.

Because I exclusively work on this shop, I am able to respond to, create, and complete orders quickly, while paying careful attention to be sure the work is done as I would want it—on time, with attention to detail, and always designed with a memorable and personal pinch of spice.
