back to the grind.

to all my lovely readers,

so, as you probably noticed, i took a nice little blogger vacation while the two week {Pretty Little Lovely Things} giveaway was going on. [p.s. shout out to the winner, who was way excited, down to earth, and truly thankful to get to deck out her lil 2 & 8 year old in all the fancy funky designer boutique goodies!]

okay, back to my two week vacation. it was super nice, because i've had a ton of orders lately + bridgett is growing faster than ever, and i just can't take my eyes off her.

anyhow, this little post is just to say that, i miss you all, and i'm anxious to start getting back to it daily here very soon. just be patient with me as i am super excited about being a vendor in the handmade artist Queen Bee Market during mother's day weekend & it's taking alot of my time as i'm gearing up for it :)

i'll talk to you all soon xo

small craft

 i'm thinking about participating in an online class called Small Craft. The class features 30 handmade projects for your kids. i thought it would be great with all the holidays coming up. Small Craft is 6 weeks long and features step-by-step photos with simple instructions designed for both beginners and seasoned crafters. It includes video tutorials as well as two Q&A video chat sessions. it's $60 to register. what do you think? anyone want to do it with me?

our 1 year blogiversary

Today, September 26th marks the one year anniversary since we started our blog. AND since we started our blog because we got engaged... Today is also the one year anniversary since Cory asked me to marry him! To celebrate, we are going to print the first year of our blog in a hardcover book using booksmart by blurb. I can't wait to see how it comes out!

Thank you for all your support both here in the blog world :) and in real life as we have gone through so many new transitions.
