I'm not sure what I enjoy more --blogging or 'decorating' my blog full of Simple Joys. I feel like I've just moved into a 'new place' and I am carefully trying to fill it full of me. Sheesh - with slideshows and links and widgets, OH MY!.... I am overwhelmed! I don't want to clutter my space, I want it deliberately and carefully put together to reflect ME! So, in these early beginnings, you'll see a lot of changes here and there - for right now, I'm doin' the best I can!
I'm getting ready for the big transition and I can HARDLY wait! We will be dissolving the partnership - Liz Sage, LLC. My partner and I have decided to part ways. It will be a slow gradual change - I will continue to manage our twitter page, facebook site, etsy site under Liz Sage, LLC until I can finally officially turn everything over to Simple Joys by Joy. Most product will continue to be offered, and I'm even more excited to report I will be partnering with other fun, fab and fancy moms who own their own businesses ---many of which you'll see along the side - My favorite Links!
With the help of my Lovely Assistants - Sam and Rachel ---get to know them --- I've got their pics posted!!! We are ready to roll! I'll slowly be adding photos of product and will continuously take orders....just this week I'll be taking care of mocking up wedding invites/ printing another wedding invite order/ and printing some adorable notepads!
Watch out 2010, this is JUST the beginning!
I really <3 Blogging!
Joyful
- Simple Joys by Joy
- My name is Joy --and this blog will be all about the simple joys in my life - my family, my friends, my business, but most of all --my 2 little girls!
Joy...It's all in the name!
I grew up in a suburb right outside of Chicago - Berwyn, IL. I believe where I grew up shaped who I am today - we were a close knit community where family values were important.
I attended college in Waukesha, Wisconsin - Carroll College. There, I majored in Communication and minored in Art. It is at Carroll that I truly flourished...I was very active in my sorority (Chi Omega) and began taking classes in electronic imaging - this is where my love of graphic design began! Senior year I met my husband (also a Carroll grad) and there you have it...
My past work experience is quite broad - I've worked in Radio promotions, HR, and Higher Education.
The past few years I've enjoyed creating photocards for different events. This passion has grown more into other avenues: creating stationery, invitations, and other ventures --- and that's where I get to share with you my love of all things creative - SIMPLE JOYS by JOY!
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me! I am eager to create or become a part of your life event by making it just a little sweeter - a little more thoughtful and most of all memorable.
My 2 Favorites
Easily my favorite 2 Simple Joys - my daughters. Meet Mackenzie *Kenzie* Elisabeth (4) and Alexa *Allie* Delaney (2)...they are my life, my love, my greatest creation to date!
Weddings, Birthdays, Etc.
Below you'll see a sampling of some of my work...weddings, birthdays, babies... I Love being a part of people's life events - adding a hint of creativity to the mix!
A couple of assistants!
Simple Joys - the business could not possibly function without the help of two fab and fancy assistants...Meet Rachel and Samantha!
I've had the pleasure of knowing Rachel and Samantha for some time now...while working in higher education, they were a few of my student workers....from there, I recruited them to babysit for my kids. In a matter of time, Rachel and Sam have become permanent fixtures in my home--my girls ADORE THEM - and frankly, they make my life a lot simpler than it could possibly be. Both seniors and ready to graduate college, I am hopeful we'll keep them on as part-time Simple Joys by Joy assistants! They cut, glue, stuff, wrap, sell....they are my front line and I don't know what I'd do without them! And...if you thought the Argyle sweaters were coincidence and matching red/black outfits- HECK no! They are that precise and adorable and planned to dress alike at an Open House Event!
