Special Delivery...

I made this today for a friend. I got the idea from my friend Jenn.

She is a fountain of wonderful ideas. I got the plain white mailbox from Target.

I added some SU! paper, stamps and their rub-on's and some ribbon I had laying around.

I filled it with goodies and a handmade card. I hope she likes it.

Aurora's 1st Birthday...

I've really fallen behind on the posting. Aurora turned One on the 23rd.

We had a little party to celebrate her special day.

The Table Setting

The Prince and Princess
Sucking her Strawberry Cake and Frosting covered thumb.
Shoveling the cake into her mouth
Opening presents, this one is her favorite.

a talking purse from Jessica & Savannah.
I can't believe how fast this last year has gone. My Little Princess is growing up and is becoming SO independent. She wants nothing to do with being a baby. Except the bottle, she's not quite ready to give that up. Now, just to get her to like it when I do her hair.

My Little Girly Man...

I was in the kitchen this morning doing dishes and I
walked into my room and this is what I found.



He put on every headband I own. I just had to snap a
quick picture. When his dad see's this, I won't be very
popular for showing off our son's girly side. Aurora has
a Princess purse that she got for Christmas and Sage
loves to wear my heels and carry it around and pretend
he's shopping. It's SO funny! I've captured it on film many
times, but it always seems to get mysteriously erased.

Bag Tag...

Okay, so I've been Bag Tagged.
Here is my current bag. It will change after tomorrow.

Here's what is in my bag:
Wallet, Ring Pop, Keys to my mom's car, Target reciept(i live there), Bone folder,
Chevron gas card, SU! regional badge, My van keys, Burt's bee's chapstick,
Ice Breaker's Sours Mints, Cell Phone, Ear Bud, Jamba Juice Card, $1.84 in bills and change

I tag anyone who wants to do this.

Cards & Valentines...

I've made a lot of things in the last week and just had to show them off.

This is the front of Aurora's Birthday Invitation

I can't believe that my Little Princess is going to be One next weekend.

Where has the year gone? She's growing up so fast!

This is the inside

Lydia's Valentines

They were really simple. I bought cups and punched holes in the sides and added

eyelets and then threaded ribbon through them for the handle. The little tag says: Be My Valentine. I have since added a heart image to the outside of the cup.

This is my swap for my first SU! Demo meeting tomorrow night.

Have I mentioned that I love Stampin' Up!???

Little Princess...

This picture perfectly describes my Little Princess. She is always this happy. That is unless she is REALLY sick. This was taken last week when she had Pink Eye, she was all smiles even with goop in her eyes. I am so blessed to have such a happy baby!

SU! Regionals...

This weekend was a blast! For about a year now i've been toying with the idea of becoming a SU! Demonstrator. Attending Regionals convinced me to do it. I'm signing up this week! I spend a ton of money on it anyway so I might as well enjoy the extra benefits. I can't wait until the Convention in Salt Lake this summer! Hooray for Stampin' Up!
