Let me just come out and say it…I was brainstorming ways that I could make a little extra income. You know…so that I’m not buying my darling boyfriend birthday gifts with money that he technically earned. I’m weird like that…I’ve always been that way. Even as a child I would have to earn the dough to buy the christmas presents I would give to my parents. Otherwise it felt like fraud. Yes, I was a strange little girl.
So I thought that since you liked the Owl Love you Forever Print so much (I got hundreds and hundreds of emails!) that perhaps you might like some other options. I fully expect only two people who feel sorry for me one of them being my mom to order one…since this time I am asking for $5 for the digital file…but if you are one of those two people, let me just say thank you from the bottom of my empty pockets…you just got Jeremy a renewal subscription to his favorite magazine, Mountain Bike Action 🙂
Now onto the prints – one of them is a girlier owl print. Whoo says owls are only for boys?! Not me…that’s whoo. It’s formatted for a 5×7 print and would look just darling in a white frame in a bird-themed nursery or with a collage of other light aqua prints.
The other print I created is dedicated to my Mummum. She had this little plastic plaque in her bathroom that sported this saying and it always makes me smile every single time I went in there to pee. It was a great reminder and I must say that this version is a lot more happy than the mustard yellow and brown version she has 🙂
They are $5 a piece for the digital file and if you purchase one of them today – by midnight EST December the 2nd, I’ll send you the other one for free! Just click the ‘buy’ button below the print you want on my sidebar. Then you can expect an email from me within the 48 hours following your order with the file attached. You can take it anywhere you like to get it printed at any size of your liking.
And seriously you guys…I appreciate and love you even if you think these are not worth 5 cents. You my homies. For reals.

I SO know how you feel about buying ‘boyfriend’ gifts with his money. me no like either. Your writing cracked me up!!! but sad to say my computer is issueing. so i can not see your pics. will check back tom:) nighty-night.
Jennifer Toro says
kb, you are amazing! hoping I can help you earn a little moola so that baby can have a christmas. post the prints on fiverr.com, a site where people post random things/services they’ll sell for $5. maybe you’ll get some more orders for just a couple minutes of work (to post it). good luck!
maggie says
Hey Katie! I was wondering if you could do me a big favor! Can you please do a post on how you and Jeremy budget your money…or even if you have a budget. What are some things that you do as a stay at home mom to save money in the house? i just got married in September. We sat down last night to create our budget and its a lot harder than i thought. I am very excited at the thought of really planning out our grocery list and christmas gifts so we can save money but i would love to hear how you do it!
Thanks!!
mary-beth says
I love these prints! Would you ever consider selling some of your photos, like of the rock picture from the post in Will’s room?
Bethany says
I’d love a budget post! My boyfriend is living with me and going to school full time so we are living off just my one little income, and I just bought my first house – it’s budget city around my joint. Those prints are very cute 🙂
Chrissy says
Lovely prints! And my hubby’s favorite mag is MBA also! Reminds me that I need to renew it for him!
Jenn says
My grandma had a saying in her bathroom too. “If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie, wipe the seatie.”
Colette says
LOVE these. Please consider doing more. I would also like to see you do some prints of your photos…you do amazing photos!
Cameron says
Hey Katie! I’m so excited about the prints. The one about love is going to go in our daughter’s playroom….I can’t wait.
I purchased through my husband’s paypal account (Todd Davis). If you don’t mind please email the prints to [email protected] so they come to my email account.
Thanks so much!
Cameron
Katie says
Will do Cameron! And thank you so much for your support!

If this goes well you could open an etsy shop – lots of them just sell digital files.
Jaz says
Very cute! I just ordered! Anything to support one of my favorite bloggers! Can you please send them to [email protected], my paypal email is an old one and I can’t seem to get it to update! UGGHHH!

Even though the colors don’t work for my lil man’s room, I love your idea to sell prints. Would you ever consider a commissioned print? I love the “i’ll love you forever” bit but I would want one to match his room….
Good luck and hope you get a ton of orders.
Abby says
Would you do custom prints? For example, if I gave you my favorite quote would you design something for that? I think you should do an etsy shop!!
aprairiegiirlincalifornia says
hey me again! umm. I want that love one…. but… can you do it in more red colors for this homie??!! 😀 yep. those are my colors!! let me know some time…no rush:)
Holly says
Hi Katie,
If you had the “owl love you forever” for sale, I’d buy it quicker than anyone else!!!
Heidi says
What about the owl poster? I’d love to buy a copy of that to put in each of my boys’ rooms.
Katie says
Sure Maura! I would totally consider that! I’ll send you an email about it.

Katie says
Hi Heidi,
Just shoot me an email and I will send that one to you at no cost 🙂

Katie says
Holly dolly…send me quick email and I will zip it on over to ya for free!

Katie says
Hi Abby! Aww gee thanks. I think that for now I am happy just doing it on the ole blog…but one day I might consider an etsy shop…who knows! And I’d love to hear your favorite quote if you get a free moment.

Katie says
Sure CA Prairie girl! If you order the print as-is, I’ll send you one that just has all red letters.

Katie says
Sure Maura, I would totally consider a commissioned print. Shoot me an email with your request of color and we can totally work something out 🙂

Katie says
Okay – here’s the deal, I started a whole Print Shop page…with some photo options and some other prints. And I would love to hear new ideas so don’t be shy, mkay?!

Katie says
aww thanks Sarah. so sweet.

Katie says
Anne! What a great idea! In fact, I was so inspired that I just spent several hours brainstorming and sketching and photoshopping…just to make a couple prints perfect for a grown-up not-so-flashy modern christmas. I can’t wait to print my own for my home 🙂 And I put them on the new Print Shop page so that you can score your own! Thanks for the inspiration.

Katie says
Hi Mary-beth,
I just created a new page up top in my menu – it’s called Print Shop and added a few more photography items and some additional prints as well. Thanks for taking a look!

Katie says
Wow Maggie…that is a hard one. But yeah…I definitely think that we can work that in sometime in the future – possibly January (since it is the time for new resolutions and saving money is always one for us!)

Nichole says
Thanks Katie!!
Heather says
Hey KB 🙂 Will you put the Owl Love You Forever print on your Print Shop order page? I love that quote everytime I see it and I would love to have one for my sons room 😉 And btw I never ever get any work done because I’m addicted to your blog!
Katie says
Hi Heather, you can have that one for FREE! Just shoot me an email and I will get it out to ya. The only way that I would charge for it is if you want it custom-colored 🙂

Megan says
Would you consider adding some of your beach pictures (like the shells/ starfish) to the print shop?
Katie says
Actually Megan I am working on that right now 🙂

Shannon says
Hi Katie,
Just took a look at your print shop…yay!! I’ve been waiting for you to do something like that!!! Quick question – would you ever consider selling any of your beachy pics (shells, sand, waves)? Like the ones from your summer vacay? That’s kind of the look I’ve got going at my house and I wouldn’t mind a KB original in my humble abode 🙂
Thanks a bunch!!!
Megan says
YAY! Thanks. I absolutely love them.
Katie says
Hi Shannon!
I just added a three-part set to the shop! Just click on the tab above called Print Shop and they are $3 a piece for the rest of 2010.

Meg says
Love this idea! My fiance and I have been toying with the idea too – he is uber talented on photoshop. He even made our save the dates for our wedding. Good luck!!! (Although you don’t really need it! )

Shannon says
Hi Katie,
Would you ever consider (or maybe you already have) close-up pictures of green leaves? I’m sure you don’t have palm trees in GA but I always see beautiful pics of palm fronds from local artists down here in Fort Lauderdale but they cost an arm and a leg. If you had anything – I would be your first buyer 🙂
Thanks so much!!
