Baking Party

I'm in love with the Baking Party featured on Amy Atlas Events yesterday!  Have you seen it?  This is just the cutest idea!  I wish my girls were older so I could do this for one of their parties, but we'll be waiting a few years to tackle this one.

Freebie!

There are so many things that I am thankful for this year.  I've been recording something that I am thankful for each day this month on my Thanksgiving Blessing Cards and I thought I would share them with you.  Just print them and cut apart.  It'a also a great way to start a new Thanksgiving tradition and have everyone fill one out and read during Thanksgiving dinner.  Have a blessed day!

Monthly Freebies!

I'm going to start offering a Monthly Freebie!  Some months it will just be one page of printables and other months I will offer matching items in my Etsy shop.  Hope you enjoy them!

A great site for discounted children's items

Do you know about Totsy?  My girls love playing dress-up so I've been looking for new outfits for them and I just can't wait to hit the sales after Halloween to find more, but today I saw some of the cutest outfits and costumes on Totsy!  You do have to join, but it's sooo worth it!

More new cards!

Did you just have a baby or are going to soon?  I would love to help you design a birth announcement!  Here are a few I have come up with in the past few days.

New Cards and Invitations

I'm so excited to start creating invitations and holiday cards! 
 I designed a "buggy" theme card for a friend and it turned out better than I hoped for!

Now I'm designing a whole party set for my daughter's 3rd birthday pary, but it won't be in the shop till after the party in October.

I'm also designing some holiday cards too!  I know I need to start with Halloween, but my favorite holiday is Christmas so that's where I started.  Here's a preview...



What would your perfect holiday card look like???  Let me know and you just might see it come to life!

I'm finally back!

Wow...I didn't realize it would take so long to unpack everything when we moved!  I know it has taken longer with the girls getting into everything and distracting me...then we were without an internet connection for almost 2 weeks, so now I'm still playing catch up.  At least everything is going a lot faster now with a new laptop!  Now I'm designing some birthday cards...since I have been trying to start planning my daughter's birthday, I only have 3 more months.  And I've discovered the best shop to get digital papers (Sassy Designs).  I love her stuff and I'm so addicted to it all!  So, I'm off to create more...

Busy...busy!


This week is going to be a busy one for me!  I have to finish up packing and the inlaws are coming to town to help us move.  Today, I'm going to do all the errands for the week that I need to do.  One thing I still need to finish is making a Fourth of July petti-tutu for Hailey!  I made one for Shelby a few weeks ago...here's a few photos of her wearing it to play in the backyard.

The Beginning...

Welcome to my blog!  I have so many ideas going on in my head right now and I want to share them all with you!  I have recently started an Etsy shop for custom hand-made tutus, petti-tutus and hair accessories.  My goal is to make it a shop where you can find lots of party supplies!  Next, I'll be adding custom invitations!  I love making invitations for every event and helping my friends with theirs too.  There's even the possibility of custom cupcake picks, goody bag labels and thank you cards to match the invitations and so much more! 

Right now we're packing our house getting ready to move in a little over a week!  I'm so excited to get into our new home so we will have room for everything and I will have a room for all my crafts.  The not so fun part is packing.  At least we have plenty of friends willing to help us in this journey, so it should go smoothly.

A little about me...I'm a wife to my best friend and husband and a stay-at-home mom to our two beautiful daughters.  They are 1 and 2 1/2, so they keep me on my toes!  I love watching them grow and learning from them every day.  It is a wonderful thing to see the world through the eyes of a child!  I am truly blessed to be able to spend so much time with them every day.
