Cyber Monday Specials: Time to Order TODAY!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I stayed far, far away from the shops all weekend and enjoyed my shopping savings online instead.  Today, I am offering a few specials in honor of Cyber Monday…

Today Only, Receive 5 FREE holiday cards w/your holiday card order!  As long as you meet the minimum of 10 cards, no coupon code is needed, your 5 additional cards will be automatically added when you order before midnight tonight.

Also, save 15% today on all orders over $20!  Hurry and get your list together to place your holiday order today! To save, use the code: MONDAY

I have been receiving a lot of inquiries about timeframes for new orders.  This time of year is incredibly busy for me, so turnaround time is typically a little longer b/c I have more samples to work on, but I do log a lot of hours to ensure your holiday gifts get to you on time!

Photo card samples typically run close to schedule, with sample turnaround averaging 1-3 business days, and then you will need to allow several days for printing and shipping.

Stationery orders vary based upon what items you have ordered as well as large or small your orders are and the current volume of orders. As a general guideline, I advise you to allow a week for your order to be ready to ship—this could be much less, or a little more.

Happy Shopping—only 26 days left, yikes!!!

Shop Cutie Pies Custom Creations for perfect teacher gifts!!

As many of you know, I used to be an elementary school teacher. I highly value the teachers in my childrens' lives...teachers have a huge impact on kids, and they spend a large part of the day with our bigger ones! Teaching takes a lot of patience, and a genuine love of kids, yet the job is still not often valued by the public. We have been blessed to have some wonderful teachers working with our boys.

Some of the first items I offered when I started this business were designed as ideal teacher gifts. The thought certainly always counts, but my line of teacher products provides gifts that will be put to great use!

Here are a few of my current favorite gift ideas for teachers...

I love the rainbow name pad collection. This one was designed especially for teachers/school staff with the red/green theme, but you can make yours in any color combination you'd like. The rainbow pastels & primaries work perfectly too!

These notecards make adorable gifts! Last year, my sons designed a different set for each teacher.


Stick kid stationery designs are always popular. I ♥ this design! Remember that these can be customized to suit. I like to make these cards with a quote at the bottom and name at the top. For our preschool teachers last year, for example, I personalized them with the quote "Preschool teachers love the little things in life."

Also keep in mind that you can customize other items that are not exclusively teacher products. This customer customized the Heart Message pads for her gifts, which came out so cute!



Monogrammed items are another popular teacher gift idea this year as are cute goodies like the owl stationery that work for anyone!

And, I also have cute notepads/cards for other teachers & staff too; everyone from secretaries to coaches to bus drivers!

Besides giving a gift that will be useful, these are also very affordable! Many more items available on the website. But, get your order in soon! It takes time to craft your personalized goodies and December is a very busy month here at Cutie Pies Custom Creations.

Letters From Santa...

I wanted to share a great little holiday idea, but I can't say too much, so I will just say that a friend of mine is like THIS with Santa, and she offers a cute holiday service for kids. It was a big hit at my house when we did it! You can check it out here:
