To celebrate I have contacted a few ladies that I know and they are going to donate a few things for me.
The first giveaway is for this:

Bee Inspired offers a collection of gift boxes with motivational quotes on rolled scrolls.

Bee Inspired donates a portion of the proceeds from signature gift box sales to National Down Syndrome Society

Fall Free Printables

There are so many posts about Halloween going around that I wanted to focus on Fall/Autumn.  I LOVE fall.  The amazing colors, the smell of the leaves :)
I decided to create a few free printables to celebrate my favorite season, ENJOY!
I started out with the above toppers but wanted more so I created these also:

Then I wanted to add some cute bag toppers:

But that still wasn't good enough so I created a few other labels:

Ba-BEE Shower runner

Over the weekend I made a table runner for the upcoming Ba-BEE shower.  I am not the best when it comes to sewing and am very happy with how it turned out.  The best part, it is reverseable.
Here are a few pictures:

Our 5 Year Anniversary!

5 years ago today I married my best friend.  We have accomplished so much in the past 3 years, most important would be these 3 beauties:

I am amazed at how much more I love him today, he is an amazing husband and father.
Here are a few pictures from our wedding 5 years ago:
I call this one run away bride, JK
This one was taken at the reception.  Mike has an amazing voice, he probably could have chosen a better song, he sang me Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye.  Marvin would be proud, it sounded great!
To show you that I was crafting even back then, here is a picture of our thank you card:
This was easy to make, I just printed large letters on copy paper, cut them out, traced them and filled it in.  I made 2 because I wasn't sure which one I liked better.
I also made this memorial candle for my Grandpa and Uncle who were no longer with us.

It is hard to read, I am sorry.  I printed the words on vellum paper on my printer.  Cut it down to size, wrapped the top and bottom with ribbon and used pearl pins in the back to hold it in place.



I love you Mike, Happy Anniversary!

Dr Seuss Birthday Party

My adorable niece Addie recently turned 1.  I was not able to be there because they live about 8 hours away.  I was very happy and impressed when my very talented and also crafty sister-in-law Jenny sent me these pictures.  I had to share a few with you all.  Enjoy:

Cat in the Hat Jello!!

The Favors

She made this shirt for her to wear

and here she is in it:



Isn't she adorable!!! 
She made everything at the party including these adorable topiaries from Horton Hears a Who
She said they were very easy to make using a doll rod wrapped in 2 different green ribbons, styrofoam ball and fun fur yarn.

Happy Birthday my sweet girl, Aunt Terri Loves you VERY much!
