Ruffles...

I have been trying to plan everything for Eliza's purple birthday before this baby comes, especially because baby sister is due the day before Eliza's birthday. I have seen these gorgeous ruffle cakes EVERYWHERE and I wanted to make a purple one for the birthday party, well I found a tutorial on youtube! So much easier than it looks, and so pretty and girly!image source

Pretty Pretty Pretty

Everything Heather Bailey designs makes me drool... seriously. When I saw this bedding over a year ago I think I drooled for a week, so I started collecting fabrics from this line to make the girls bedding. It will be for when they are both in big girl beds. Mmmm... its yummy to look at eh?

A bag worth dreaming about....

I first saw this bag MONTHS ago. We are talking last summer, August I think! I had DREAMS about this purse. Seriously. I went to sleep and it was in my dreams. I think this purse and I belong together, there is no other explanation for it. My dreams came true. I got it it for Christmas. Now, it is on sale. I am considering stocking up for the future. It comes in 3 other colors... go HERE to get your own!

Not your mamma's wreath...

Just kidding, this is my mamma's wreath... my favorite part about this project, it cost me 2.00 and about an hour of my time. You can go HERE for instructions on how to make your own Dollar Store Ruffle Wreath (say that 5 times fast!)
