It was so satisfying being able to contribute the health items for our Church's mission trip that I've added a section in my shop where you can shop and know that all profits are going to buying 300 children backpacks for their schooling! Yay!

Happy 5th Jaedin!

My only son, My sweet little boy who was my first baby ever is already 5. He is such a handsome, happy, thoughtful, smart boy. I am so proud of all of his accomplishments but most of all how loving he is to his Mommy and sisters.


All he asked for, for his Birthday was A Birthday Cake and Party games. He got a Darth Vader Cake and played Ball, bubbles and chalk. We went to the store and got him a Spiderman Chair and The Disney Three Musketeers. Then Grandma & Papa came over for a special Birthday dinner and Birthday cake. They brought Sand and toys for his Sandbox. They also brought a NEW Tony Hawk bike and a Helmet & Pads. He's still got alot of practicing to do without his training wheels but he loved it!

Mops Steering Gifts

The Leader of my Mops Group requested this sweet little project for the Steering Meeting. All of the ladies who worked and kept the group organized this year will be receiving these at our last meeting. What they are is 9 index cards that have been painted with Acrylic paint and then stamped with filigree and swirl stamps. I added rhinestones every once in a while to a card and added some doodles. Each of the 10 members wrote on a card to each of the other 9 ladies.

They wrote something special to each other member about how nice it was to work with them and how friendships had formed. I then collected them all and made a booklet for each woman. For the booklets cover I used a pretty blue and green and cream wallpaper. I then used a coffee dyed tag, crepe paper frills and a mini banner to adorn the fronts.
This might be a sweet thing to do for Mother's Day of Grandparents Day, having all of your family member write what is so special about Grandma or Mom on their Cards and making her a booklet. Because SWEET words are one of the World's best gifts!

Marie Shoe Soiree

Welcome to my Marie Shoe Sioree! I am fashionably late because of my sweet little one who has been sick and needed Mommy's attention. Luckily I had to design and photograph some shoes which are her favorite things on the planet so eventually she let me get to work.
This first pair of Pink Frill Shoes were purchased for $1 at my favorite consignment store. They were originally purchased for $75 from Bandolino. I embellished them with my Seam binding Crepe paper frills and a touch of Vintage rhinestones.

My second pair of purple shoes were also purchased for $1. They are more of a modern day Marie shoe that are simple enough to be worn with a frilly top and jeans.
I had some amazing artists join me for this Soiree. Please make your way around the event by visiting these ladies beatiful blogs to see more photos of the Magnificent Altered Shoes Created.

Antiqued Envelopes

The art of letter writing is somewhat dead. The world of typing on the computers and cell phones has stolen this gorgeous old artform and to help revive it I've been hard at work creating some antiques envelopes to burn the fire with in you to write a heartfelt note to the ones you love!
Life is way too short not to tell someone at this very moment what you think of them, how important they are to you or how grateful you are for them. So get to writing! You will be closer to your loved ones for it!



All of these sets available in my Etsy shop now.

A NEW CAR!

Look what I got for Mother's Day! A new Car! A super cute PT Cruiser in a pretty blue.

Happy Earth Day~ 200th post!

HaPpy Earth DAy to YOu! HAppY EarTh Day to YoU!

Hey Guys! It's a Special Day and A special Post! This is my 200th post. Normally I would do a Giveaway but I just did one! So I'm going to Celebrate by showing some incredible photos of the Earth that God has created for us.

Now I'm not into politics which usually isn't "Earth" but as humans we have turned it into a political topic. I personally believe The Earth has been created with so much Care a Love and has been lended to us to live on from God. Therefore it is important for us to Love, embrace and care for what he has given, Just like our bodies.

So in conclusion, I am "Green" because I'm mindful of the gift the Earth is. I don't however believe that I need to be Green to "Save" the EaRth. I believe God is King of the Earth and we as a human race are not a match for the Earth or God who is in control of it.

HAve a Wonderful EarTh Day!
