A very special thank you to all that participated in our Silverbox contest on Facebook. We know there is no better form of advertising than word-of-mouth and appreciate our Silverbox family for all that you do for us each and every day. Dearest Alison, you can look for a $100 Silverbox Gift Certificate in your mailbox in the next few days! Happiest Friday to all of you!
Welcoming the school days with this "how was your day?" printable. I've decided to bring to life, these simple questions I've asked my kids for the past five years. Wishing you and your children a very smooth transition back to reality! Want to mix it up a little? Think about completing a printable yourself and exchanging stories over dinner.
Ok, it's Friday and finally time to get "Bizzie" for some down time. It's been so hot, so if you're in the Philadelphia area, and interested in the best ice cream you've ever eaten, take a trip and visit Custard and Cakes Creamery. It's the best, hands-down!
Whether you're local or not, take my word for it and vote for this wonderful family-run business for Philadelphia's best Ice Cream Shop.
Found these free vintage printables online and thought they were worth the repost. Hmm. I can have some fun with these. Enjoy!
A huge congratulations to Emma Muller for being the winner of our Express Yourself contest! We had so many incredible self portraits. Some just blew us away, and it was so hard to choose just one. In the end, we kept coming back to this self portrait by a 5th grader, Miss Emma Muller. Emma will receive a $100 Visa gift card and $100 additional dollars will be donated to her art department. A great big thank you for all the participated in this contest. It was so well-received, we're going to be having another one in the near future. Calling all High School graphic design students...you're next!
Here's a fun little free Easter Printable that can be used in so many ways. Attached to a basket, a small little yard sign, at the dinner table, on the front door handing from a wreath, and the list goes on. Enjoy!
For personal use only.
I started my week with a mimosa, beach side, in 84º weather in Ft. Lauderdale with girlfriends. What can top that you say?
Ending the week with the most loyal friends, family and clients. If you have a business of your own, you soon find out that your company is your baby, your passion. It's a give-everything-you-got attitude to get the job done better than perfect. Someone once said to me, "You'll always be the one that cares the most" (referring to owning your own business). While I understand that, I am also astounded and speechless by the loyalty you have to my "baby". I will forever be grateful for that.
This week I watched Silverbox move up the charts in a Party Planning contest. At the beginning of the week, I was just happy to be on the list with the 150 industry super stars. I never imagined we'd be in 13th place by week's end because of your votes.
I sincerely thank you.
A few other Silverbox in-the-news items... Blurb chose one of our book designs for book of the week! While we can't take most of the credit, due to it's extraordinary contents, we did have a hand in it. You can view it here. I'm telling you, it's a must read/see. The book's artist is Millicent Harvey. One of the most extraordinary photographers that I have met in my lifetime.
Sunday is filled with communion sessions. All boys! I can't wait for those handsome fellows.
Next week I'm getting ready to gear up and head to BrandCamp and mingle with some of the most passionate business owners in our industry. I am so looking forward to this.
Here's to another great week behind us. TGIF
Do you know a kid who loves art?

All the best to every budding Picasso out there embracing the arts day after day.
I've been thinking a lot lately about my personal influences that got me where I am today: that made me who I am today. I've made the decision to find time to start oil painting again and breathe in life a little, and take it back to the basics. The love of art and being right-brained, I believe, I was wired with at birth, but the encouragement and education are such important factors to who we are today. It's crucial that children who are interested in the arts have the avenues they need to explore their interest, and the encouragement to grow. Therefore, Silverbox has decided to run a kids-only contest. So sharpen those crayons and colored pencils and look for details really soon!
Below is a college assignment designed by my daughter, via the University of Delaware. I thought it was so worthy of a blog post. Nice work Emma! You continue to amaze me.
Today's post I dedicate to my grandfather that sat with me for hours upon end, drawing, encouraging and just plain sitting still while I took the entire afternoon to draw his portrait. To him, I will forever be grateful.
