Flashback Friday- Bundle of Joy


Welcome to Flashback Friday! I have a love for pretty embellishments I hoard >/strike> save them for special occasions :) I made these a while back and loved them. I debated forever whether to keep them or make them into tags to sell. The latter won. And they quickly found their way into a package heading to Elsmere, Kentucky. The little stamped sentiment is from Papertry Ink and the paper was from my scrap stash. A little cuting and some pearlls and they were easy peasy! So, now for the Flashback Friday question: What's your idea of the perfect baby shower gift? Maybe it was one you have gotten or given? Share! Mine: I loved getting clothes that were NOT 6 months or smaller, lol. I loved getting mega packs of diapers, and I LOVED my monogrammed items. He had a blanket that said Aunt Sissy loves me, a burp cloth that said "Heading to Nana and Papa's, another "Go Yankees" & "Don't let your babies grow up to be Red Sox fans" and so many more.. :) Can't wait to read your comments!!!

Does anyone......


Does anyone have a basket or tray on their desk that looks like this??? It has all the little stuff that seems to collect, get left out, found, forgotten, etc in it. I think I am going to start making at least one project a week where I have to use 3 things from the Catch All Tray :) It has ribbon, buttons, paper scraps, crocheted flowers, mini note cards, punch outs, etc....
What does yours have in it??

Flashback Friday- Sweet Tweets

Welcome to my Flashback Friday post! I was so in love with these cuties I called Sweet Tweets when I started making them, but I soon became bored with them :) lol. However, I did sell several in my Etsy Shop and gave several away. I think I may have to make some more soon! So, now for the Flashback Friday question: Do you have a favorite bird? I love Blue Birds! Cardnials are KY's state bird, but with it also being the mascot of UofL, I can't stomach it, lol. (My hubby is the UofL fan, I bleed Blue- Go Kentucky!) Can't wait to read your comments!!!
