Some fun gifts for a girls weekend away with some of my favorite people. Custom hand engraved wine glasses and personalized wine and bubbly mini jars for each of us.
A fun and exciting way to add a special something to your #bachelorette #girlstrip #girlsweekend #birthday #bestfriends or even #holidaygifts
(Also yes, you’ve seen this post…. Super annoyed with Instagram and Sony Music)

Are Saturday Introductions a thing? Oh well, it is now!
I realized it’s been awhile since I showed my freckled face here and I have almost 200 new followers since my last introduction! So let’s jump in!
I’m Ashley or AshleyRae, (depending on who you talk to) and I’m the owner and creative hands of Cygnus Studio!
5 quick facts about me:
1) I’m a lifelong artist! I’ve been drawing and painting since I could hold a crayon. But I love to embroider, bake, refinish furniture, use power tools.
2) I’m a Marylander thru and thru - #bluecrabs #oldbay #HTTR #washingtoncommanders
3) I love pens and books! Like it’s a serious problem 😆 I was instructed from October until after Christmas I cannot buy anything for myself because it ruins people’s gift ideas for my birthday and Christmas 😂
4) Babies, puppies and kittens make me lose my mind over their cuteness 😍🥹 and then I want all of them lol
5) You will usually catch me with neon or bright pink nails. It’s my monthly self-care ritual and I feel so much better once they’re done. (Plus no one wants to look at jacked up nails in videos)
Thanks for being here and I cannot wait to work with you! If you ever have questions feel free to slide into my DMs, I’m pretty much an open book and love to help others. I don’t believe in gatekeeping information so I will happily share what I know!
Share below some facts about yourself so I can get to know you all too! Where are you from? Do you collect anything? Do you have babies or fur-babies? What’s your self-care go to?
Had the best time with my friends @maidenseptember and @cygnusstudio personalizing champagne bottles for guests at the @officialdarrellgreen28 jersey retirement cocktail party hosted by the @commanders this weekend 🏈
Video content was hard to come by at a 600 guest event, but here's a taste of what we did! Guests walked away with personalized champagne bottles to commemorate the incredible career of #28

Luggage Tag Personalization for @eventsdc Corporate Holiday Party at @wearespin DC ✨✨✨
Luggage tags have been such a popular item for corporate holiday parties! Not only are they functional, but they’re also the perfect gift that won’t be thrown away, especially when you get them personalized for each of your guests.
Last week I had a dream collaboration with one of my favorite calligrabesties Ashley @cygnusstudio on this amazing event with @eventsdc and @thebrandguild to permanently personalize luggage tags for each of the guests in the Events DC corporate holiday party. As always, luggage tags are always a huge hit! Can’t wait to do more of these events next year with my favorite artist friends in the DC area!!
Quick recap of todays event @thedistrictofcologne doing box calligraphy and painting! I think The Capitol Building is my favorite! What would you get painted on your Christmas present box? Tell me below! 🎁
