Pass It On

designs...

I am so excited to be debuting the first design of many, as a way for you to be a blessing to others.  There are many opportunities we all have to bless someone we know with a meal. I've even given meals to people I don't know very well, yet they are part of a bigger group I belong to and I want to do something for them.

These designs are meant to be encouraging, uplifting, comforting; so others know they are not alone, whatever their need be. There are all kinds of different reasons to provide a meal: new baby, new neighbors, funerals, someone's just having a hard time right now or you just love to cook and take dishes to church or work or wherever.

My hope is that these pans will be passed on from person to person. They are a gift, but not the pan specifically, more the thought of the person who is sharing a meal.  Since the pan is not a gift for anyone in particular, these designs are being etched on pans that have some kind of flaw in them.  Enough of a flaw in that I wouldn't want to give it to someone as a gift, yet these pans are still usable, just with a cosmetic flaw. And hopefully with the designs that are etched on the pans, you'll never even notice the flaws.

Currently there is one pan available at each GROW Nebraska Store in:

Nebraska State Fair and

Kearney.  More will be available after Sept. 2, 2014.

Summer 2014

I'm working on getting this summers photos online. Now that baseball is over, the pool is closed and one full week of school is in the books, photos are at the top of my list. Along with the Nebraska State Fair!  

These two items are my favorites for the summer. At first the trifle was going to be an entirely different design, but the customer changed her mind. And I'm glad she did. The pie plate and the trifle bowl turned out amazing! Even better if you could see them in person. 

So if you love baseball, you might want to order these for yourself, or a friend!

So who's going to the 

Nebraska State Fair

in Grand Island???

Design Haven Graphics is gearing up for the GROW Store

at the Nebraska State Fair.  

Below are some personalized pans that will be in the display at the State Fair.   Not all of these pans can be on display at the same time. So if you have to get your hands on one of these, please ask whoever is working at the GROW store.  They will know if one of these is in the storeroom or may have already been sold.  

If you have visited the State Fair and are now looking at this page and want to place an order.  Please let me know right away, as I'm happy to try to deliver it to you on September 2nd when I return to Grand Island to pickup the display.  I can deliver  anywhere on Hwy 30 in between Columbus and Grand Island on Sept. 2nd also.   And of course shipping is always available too.

Super Exciting News!!!

I'll be appearing on NTV's Good Life show, channel 13 out of Kearney, Nebraska.  The show airs from 9-10:00 am. If you aren't able to tune in when it airs, don't worry, you can go to  NTV's Good Life page and find it there. I'll see what I can do after I return about posting the video here and on the Design Haven Graphics facebook page.  Looking forward to meeting Carol Staab and seeing Roni Lewis! I grew up watching NTV and am elated that I will on the show!

I'll also be at the GROW Nebraska stores in Kearney from 11 am - 2 pm and in the Grand Island store from 3:30 - 6 pm on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014!  Stop by if you're in either mall that day!

Thank you for a great year in 2013!

This design is one of the first designs made for a family member to give for a wedding gift to go on a trifle bowl. Honestly, I've never cared for this design that much, but other people seem to like it, so it stays.  

Just this week, someone ordered this design to go on a pie plate. As soon as I put this design with the actual pie plate, I loved it!  I'm so glad this customer ordered this combination, because I never would have put it together. Some lucky couple in Alabama is getting this pie plate for a wedding gift. 

I do want to say thank you to all my customers!  And especially to many customers who help me come up with more great design ideas for amazing wedding gifts!

Thank you! 

For all the local people around Howells...here's a sneak peak of one item I'm donating to the Howells Community Catholic School Fun Fest March 17th. The windows are from the remodel of SSPP basement. I plan on donating at least two more, they will each be different.

Thank You...

to all my Customers!

You made 2012 an outstanding  year!

I wish you all a Happy & Healthy

2013!

Be sure to check out the Designs page!!!

Many new designs have been added!
Just modified as of 11-27-12...design codes have been added to the design gallery. I hope this helps when ordering. Also, modifications can always be made. Meaning first names or dates can always be added or taken away when selecting what you want in your design. A lot of these are for weddings and you may not want any dates when giving gifts for Christmas.  That's the beauty of personalization, we can put just about anything you would like into your design.

Be sure to check us out on Facebook under Design Haven Graphics.  There's more photos there as well.

The Nebraska State Fair

August 24 - September 3, 2012

Design Haven Graphics will be in the GROW Nebraska Store in the Vendor building at the State Fair in Grand Island!

I am busy with wedding orders and etching pans to be showcased at the State Fair. If you're going to the State Fair and would  like to see your family name showcased on an item, go to my facebook page and let me know!  I can't promise that I'll be able to put your name on something, but just thought I'd put it out there instead of randomly choosing names myself.

Here are a few items I'll be taking...
