there are monograms of initials (expecially on baby clothes) which initial goes first? like first middle last? last middle first? first last middle? what??????
thanks in adv.!
The last name goes first as the larger letter in the middle. First name to the left and middle to the right as you look at it. Personally, I don’t like children’s names on their clothes as I don’t want strangers knowing…but you didn’t ask that did you?
I want a baby blue (or some shade of blue I guess) bed for my Aussie, and I want to get her name put on it, but surprisingly I’m having a hard time finding one. I’ve tried google, but couldn’t find any sites that had beds I like. I’ve searched lands end, pet solutions, and petsmart. Do you know any?
There are many online catalogs. Here’s just one list:

I think I might have seen something like what you described in a PetEdge catalog (formerly NE Serum Co), but don’t quote me on that. http://www.petedge.com/home.jsp

Want to buy stockings for myself, husband and new baby. Do I have them monogrammed,"Mommy/Daddy", "Mom/Dad" or our first names?
Why is this a question? Get whatever you want. There is no rules. Monogram them whatever the baby will call you.
Hieez I’m Amber And I Was Writing A Little Story In Class Cuz I Was Like Superr Bored .. I Think It’s Alright I Mean I Dnt Think It’s All That Good But I Can Kind Of See The Potential I’m Turning 13 In Dec. And This Might Be A Little Mature For My Age But Here It Goes ..
We walked along the sandy shore of Venice Beach, hand in hand. Silent, but smiling; we were just happy to be in each other’s company and enjoying the gorgeous day. It was around 5:00, the sun would begin setting soon. Today was… perfect. Nothing could possibly ruin it.
“Good morning beautiful.” He softly whispered in my ear. I was awoken with a sweet, gentle kiss upon my lips and the enticing aroma of crispy, juicy bacon, eggs – lightly seasoned with black pepper and salt – sunny side up. A small fruit medley consisting of fresh oranges, ripe red strawberries, juicy mango and kiwi neighbored the platter. There was a freshly baked cinnamon muffin with a light sugar glaze coating it and a nice, refreshing glass of fruit punch.
He turned on some soft yet energizing music, drew back the curtains, and climbed into the bed lying beside me. He kissed me upon my cheek and held me close enough that I could feel his steady heartbeat. The room was nice and warm, the sun shining so bright. What a beautiful scene outside of my bedroom window- a view of the gorgeous Pacific ocean … with calm waters of deep turquoise. I eat my breakfast in silence, just watching the boats sail by and the people sunbathing or swimming. What an amazing way to wake up!
After breakfast he offers to take my tray downstairs, and as I go to hug him I say “Thank you so much my love. You are so thoughtful! Oh, I love you so much!” with a sincere look in my eyes and a smile on my face. “Anything for you my queen.” Then he travels down the oak stairs, my silver tray in hand. I throw on my fuzzy white bathrobe with my initials – A.H. - monogrammed onto the back and I head to the bathroom to get ready for my day. He says he has plans for us, but he’s being quite secretive. “I want this day to be magical and full of surprises my love. You’ll love it!” I have a feeling that this is going to be a perfect day.
I walk into my closet and look through the dresses. Hmm… what should I wear today? How about this, no … or this, no … ahh yes! I found the perfect dress to wear on this perfect day at last. It is a goldenrod sundress with gold and black detailing. I put on my brown wedges put on a golden cuff bracelet with cream, bright teal, and neon orange feathers, and place a simple black necklace upon my décolletage. My deep brunette hair with natural golden highlights is done in soft, big luxurious curls and I wear my favorite summer perfume. My boyfriend of 2 ½ years says “Baby you look stunning today! You never cease to amaze me!” “Aw, how sweet of you my king! You look rather dashing today yourself.” “Shall we?” “Yes, we shall.” So I grab my purse and we head out, arm on arm.
“So where are we off to first my sweet?” I ask. “To Black Rose Park.” He replies lovingly.
Haha This Is Just The Beginning ..! It’s Soo Far From Finished But I Just Would Like To Hear You Guys’ Opinions On It 
Ohh, BTW I’m In Gifted So That’s Y I Kinda Think All Mature-Like xD
Your writing is spectacular! I’m a 13 year old writer, and I think this is a really good romance. You describe things really well, and you really make the setting for your story imaginable. Hope this Helps! Keep Writing!

You have to MARKET your art! The more people that know about your art will better your chances of people buying it! It takes approximately 6 months to 1 year to start seeing results of your marketing efforts! But remember, your artwork will only sell if it looks PROFESSIONAL, UNIQUE, OR IS IN DEMAND!
1. Even though its not required, you should still register your art with the copyright office because if you want to sue for damages for copyright infringement your work must be registered! Go to U.S. Copyright Office website for more info!
2. Buy the book, 2011 Artist’s And Graphic Designer’s Market by Mary Burzlaff Bostic at Amazon website or check out this book’s official website called ArtistsMarketOnline. This book is updated every year to include the current contact and submission information for tons of places, such as greeting card companies, publishers, art fairs, art galleries, and more. It will tell you how and where to sell your artwork.
3. Buy the book, Legal Guide For The Visual Artist by Tad Crawford (fifth edition) at Amazon website. This book gives in-depth information on legal issues facing artists.
4. Get a website so people can see your art! Pay for a website address through Go Daddy, Yahoo Small Business, SquareSpace, Pixpa, or another web hosting company. Google search "web hosting" to find more providers. Electronic Commerce is an extra feature that you can buy from your web host. E-commerce allows you to sell things on your website.
Or you can display your art on a free blog website such as Blogger, WordPress Free Blog, Tumblr while you sell your art on Ebay or Etsy.
Or you can display and sell your art on an art website such as ArtBreak, ArtByUs, ArtyBuzz, ArtQuid, ArtFire, Artist Rising, ArtSlant, ArtSpan, Artid, ArtWanted, CafePress, D’Art Fine Art, Deviant Art, Discovered Artists, Fine Art America, ImageKind, Original Art Online, Qoop, RedBubble, Saatchi Online, Sell-Arts Marketplace, Yessy Art Gallery, Zatista, Zazzle. Some (not all) of these websites allow you to upload a high resolution image of your artwork and the company will reproduce the artwork as prints and other items. They will create and ship the items to your customers and pay you when someone buys your items. Some of these websites allow you to sell your original handmade artwork or photographs also.
Learn "search engine optimization", which is the process of improving the visibility of a website in search engines. If your website is ranked high in search results, it will more than likely get alot of visitors. Google search the words "search engine optimization" for more information or buy a book on the subject at Amazon website.
5. Mail flyers of your artwork and contact info to all places affiliated with art (art magazines, art museums, art galleries, art supply stores, art schools, art organizations). Also, mail samples to non-art businesses because these could be potential customers that would buy your art, Example: If you paint still life/food, mail flyers to restaurant owners/food corporations. There are tons of business addresses you can find on the internet or Google search "buy mailing lists".
6. Open an account on photo sharing or video sharing websites (YouTube, Flickr, etc.) that gets high volumes of traffic everyday! Use as MANY tags as possible so your photos/videos can be found by alot of people! Also, if you post comments on other people’s account, they will more than likely check out your account as well. Don’t Spam! Your comment should be about the person’s picture/video! After each comment, type your name, Example: John Doe, Watercolor Artist. You can’t state that you sell artwork on these sites because they generally don’t allow commercialism, so simply type your email/website address under your profile, so people can contact you directly about your art.
7. Ask your family/friends to post a picture of your art and a link to your website on their personal website or blog site to get more exposure.
8. Always carry business cards with you! When the subject of art comes up or you think someone might like to know about your art, give them your business card. Your business card should have your contact info and a picture of your art on it.
9. Make a small photo book of your art and leave it in lobby/waiting rooms (doctor’s office, hotels, etc.) to get more exposure. Generally, a lobby has magazines there for customers to look at while waiting, so ask the business owner if its ok to leave your photo book in the lobby. Make a book at these websites: Blurb, Lulu Enterprises, CreateSpace, Qoop. You can also self-publish a book of your artwork at these websites and make money!
10. Create flyers and pass them out at high traffic areas (park, beach, shopping mall, on the street, in school/college). Your flyers should have your contact info and a picture of your art on it.
i will be carrying flower also but also will have a parasols for pictures…..my colors are silver and purple and my bridesmaids are wearing both colors 2 in silver 2 in purple and i will have the parasols monogrammed in one of those colors i want mine and my daughters (shes a baby but will have one anyways) matching and the other girls to have the same color "B" i am thinking all there parasols with a "B" in purple and mine in metallic silver what do you think of this
i am having my friend paint them for us….and i have to by 12 blanks ones
5 will be monogrammed with a (B)
1 saying "thank you"
one with block letters saying LOVE (with LO on the tops and VE directly under it make a square and one with either "amore" or te amo written on it any other ideas
oh and one that says two hearts on love in spanish (my fiances is from mexico)
me and my fiance both love the ideas of parasols and your opinion was not the question it was what to put on them so if you dislike the ideas there is no point in you answering because that was not the question
my question could be written on the extras so that they might still be used and not wasted and i like the idea of writing spanish saying on them so ideas on spanish or english short phrases to or words to put on them
Not exactly sure what you question is but I will do my best to answer it.
If I am understanding this correctly all the parasols will have a B monogramed on them in purple and then in addition to that will have a little saying such as those you listed above. What I would recommend is that each saying be different but be written in the same font and style so that they all look like they go together. I would ask your fiance if there are any spanish love quotes or sayings you could use. I think it would be really neat if you have them all say something in spanish. You could also ditch the monogramed B so that your bridesmaids might actually use them again which would be nice.
Hello-
I’m looking into starting my own business and was wondering if anyone knew of an online store or company that sells plain baby bibs that are inexpensive and can be sold in lots. I will be monogramming them so just solid color bibs will be fine but I have looked online on eBay but can’t find any for a reasonable price. Spending upwards of $3 a piece at the store is a little much because I’m sure there has to be a company out there online that might sell them for a lot less.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, if anyone knows where online I might can find inexpensive cloth diaper inserts (the square kind) because I use those as burp cloths.
try looking in the store or online for the name brand BABYGEAR someone gave me a pack of 10 bibs they were all plain exept for one printed one the others came in mixed colors like whit with pink around the edges purple with pink edges they were only 4.99 for the 10 hope this helps!
her sister in law (my friend’s husband’s brother’s wife) is pregnant to and is due in a week, she is having a girl too, from the moment my friend started trying for a baby she picked out the name Alexandra Marie….her sister in law however has never mentioned a girl’s name, only a boy’s name, but now she is having a girl and said she is going to use Alexandra Marie, my friend is FREAKING OUTTTTT….both babies will have the last name…My friend told her husband to tell his brother not to use the name, and he did, the brother said we can use whatever we want……My friend already has monogrammed things made up
What do you suggest my friend do??? This BTCH stole the name !!!!!!!
This has happened so many times, that’s why a lot of people keep the name a secret until the baby is born. It totally sucks, I’m sure if the sister in law was in your friends situation she would freak out too. If I had a name picked out from the beginning I’d stick with it no matter what, who cares. She’s being stubborn and holding the power over your friend because she’s due earlier is what it seems like..good luck.
