I won a giveaway!!!!

The Girl Creative hosted a giveaway from Happy Baby Designs about a week ago...and I won!! I was excited to meet the master mind, Rebecca behind the darling baby items, custom birthday shirts, burp clothes and binkie bags, ect. 

You should head over to her etsy shop and find something cute for your little one. She doesn't disappoint!

I was so excited to receive mine in the mail on Friday! 

Isn't that the cutest star burst fabric!?! I hung it on the side of my little girls crib to keep all her binkies in one spot without having to worry about my sweet older children or dogs getting to them.

The burp cloth is nice and big so I don't have to worry about getting any spit up on my shoulder or arm :)

Thanks Rebecca!

hoo are you?

1. Do you use an alarm clock or some device to wake you up, or do you wake up on your own?

My children are my alarm clock! Unless I have an appointment or my son has school. In which case I use the alarm on my phone.  It seems that when ever I need them to wake up at the time they usually do, they sleep in. 

2. If you could go on any game show, which won would you choose?

I would have to choose...The Price is Right! I have wanted to appear on that show since I was a little girl watching it with my Grandma. haha

3. Do you prefer the weather to be hot or cold?

HOT!!! any day of the week! I was born in SoCal and raised in Gilbert, AZ. Funny since I live in Idaho! :)

4.What color of clothing do you wear the most?

Pink! love, love, love you:)

5. What is your favorite color?

 Pink, which would explain why I wear it so much. 

glass candle sticks and vases...

 I used the three candlesticks, tall glass vase, pink flower, tan flat candle holder and fleur de lis.

1. I used rust-oleum in oil rubbed bronze to spray paint the flat candle holder and the fleur de lis.

2. As those were drying I Gorilla Glued the candlesticks to the pink flower and glass candle holder and the pink glass knob to the bottom of one of the tall glass vases.

3. One the flat candle holder was dried I Gorilla glued it to the third glass candle stick.

4. Once all of the pieces were dried I placed the fleur de lis on the flat candle holder and placed the glass vase over the top of that. 

AND....

These look darling in my daughter's room. The pink flower holds her bracelets and I'm not sure what I am going to put in the empty one...maybe some mini decorated balls.

onsie dress

 Materials:
1. onsie-- any size
2. fabric--desired length full width

 I used my sewing machine to make a ruffle at the top. I didn't hem it because I am going for a worn look.
next I sewed the polka dot fabric to the onsie starting under one side of the armpit going all the way around.
Now turn the fabric inside out and sew the two sides together.
last hem the bottom to desired length and...

Your FINISHED! Super easy darling custom onsie dress. Now to make a matching fabric flower.

menu's for everyone

One of my goals for this year is to eat healthier as a family. Last year I did a lot of modifying. But, this year is the full make over. I will loose all the baby weight my three little darlings so graciously left me after each pregnancy. I found these two menu's out of the Parents magazine I receive every month. They were clipped from two separate months this last year. I cut each down and placed on card stock then on patterned paper. The kids' menu I placed on the fridge and mine on the memo board by the food cupboard.  

Curtain make over

Before

 Plain ole' tab curtains from Target.

After 

Ah, yes, much better!

Next I want to add a ruffle across the meeting of the two fabrics.
But, oh so much better for now.

Blessing sign

I got this picture block idea from the gals over at Shanty2chic. My sister and I added pics of each of our kids for my parents to display.
I don't have a Silhouette machine so I had to improvise and use vinyl lettering I found at Walmart. I started by painting the large block brown. Let that dry and placed the vinyl letters down. Painted sesame white (Valspar at Lowes) and let dry. Sanded the edges to rough them up a bit and brushed on Dark Walnut stain and wiped off for desired look.
