I LOVE doing stuff like this - especially when it's for two people as nice and as down to earth as Josh and Dee are...

A Gift For Some Friends...
Our friends, Josh and Dee, had a baby girl in January. Her name is Zada Marie Elieen Miranda. I scanned the birth announcement and printed it out on a sheet of printable fabric and went to work embellishing...

Treat Bags For A Special Evening...
I finally finished the treat bags for Saturday evening. I love doing stuff like this - to me it's just so much fun!
I played around in Photoshop and designed the iron on transfer, this was a challenge because I wanted to keep it gender neutral. I'm used to creating sparkly, girly things for Fiona and Alexa...

Journey...
My family and I are going to a benefit on Saturday for my husband's cousin. She is a thirty-four year old single mother of two small children and she was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. I've been thinking a lot lately about how lucky we are to just have the opportunity to to journey through this life...
It's really not about the destination, but how we journeyed through it...
I'm keeping this short and sweet this week as I have been a very busy person (and that's okay - I'm not going to complain at all about it). My contribution to this benefit is small treat bags for the kids that will be in attendance, about twenty of them. I have them almost finished and will post pics before the week is out. Blessings...

My life long facination with paper dolls...
I have loved paper dolls for as long as I can remember. I loved them as a child and to this day I get giddy with excitement when I pull my old ones out...
Now that the girls are a little bit older, I will let them play with "mommy's paperdolls". These reproduction Dolly Dingle Paper Dolls are my favorite...
