As Requested by Caroline

Caroline thinks its really neat that I have a blog for friends to keep up with us. She thinks that Michelle lets her kids see it all the time {don't worry girl, she has no clue you never even look at this thing!} and that her best buds know what she is up to! So occasionally she'll ask me if I put {blank} on my blog? Ummm....maybe?

So the other day she saw me putting up pictures of her graduation, and wanted to know why I didn't post pictures of the gift we made for her teacher? I had no answer. I couldn't exactly tell her that not everyone wants to know about every little thing we do.

In fear that she will have her oh-so-sensitive-as-of-late feelings hurt, I am going to post pictures of the book we made for Caroline's sweet teacher. Yes, I have pictures because it was either take pictures of the book, or I had to make 2 so that she would have one too!


We thought it was a cute idea, and a great way to commemorate her 1st year of school! I just asked her a bunch of questions, and she answered them...in her own words!

All of the other things I do.....

This post is for all the other miscellaneous things I create!

So, some of you know that I have my own business, some don't, so I am going to post about it...little plug there!

I have been painting since I was little and never really did much with it, until I found out I had a bun in the oven. I would go look for things to buy for her nursery, and then I would see something I really liked, and think.....no way, I can make that better! Thus, my painting & creating was rekindled!

I make invitations, baby shower books, wedding books, furniture, frames, and canvas wall art.....among other things!

I am going to post some pics of a variety of my stuff....let me know your feedback....and I'm always open to orders ;)


Much Love~
