Pink and Pretty Baby Gifts!

My daughter is having a baby and as every Grandmother to-be, I am thrilled and filled with anticipation.  Last weekend we had a baby shower.  So  much fun!
This is a card I made for the Mommy-to-be.  Can you guess what she is having!!!  The shoes were made using the Cricut cartridge, "Kate's ABCs".
  I hung the card on the outside of the bag.  It was just too cute to hide inside an envelope.  Another package was decorated with a simple paper doily and tied with pink ribbon.   So pink, so pretty!
This darling little pillow was tucked inside the bag.  I saw the pattern and fell in love with it.  My daughter is doing a lamb theme in the nursery and this was perfect. The pattern was from a Leisure Art Book called, "Cozy Wool Applique Pillows".  I did make changes to the pattern to customize the size and style I wanted for the nursery.  I just love the way it turned out.  So sweet!

Stop back again soon.  I will be posting highlights from the shower.

Cozy Blessing!

Cowgirl Party Time!

Thanks for stopping by.  I thought it would be fun to share with you the cowgirl party from which the  previous album was created.  This was a fun theme.  Hope you enjoy!
Treats and party favor "Goodie Bags".  What cowgirl wouldn't like This!
The chocolate covered marshmallows on a stick were the cutest!
 Little boxes for the girls to fill with goodies and "boot" decorated cookie bags.
"Watering Hole"
The fruit jar glasses were wrapped with twine and each had a little name tag tied on it. 
The food labels were so fun to make.

 This sign hung on the front door.  All the wooden signs added to the atmosphere of the "Wild West".
Hope you enjoyed!  Happy Trails!

Cowgirl Mini Album!

Happy March to you!  Looking out my kitchen window, I see more snowflakes in the air!  That has to be more like a lion than a lamb, right???  Spring should be just around the corner.

 Today I wanted to share with you a mini album I made for my daughter.  The paper was, "October Afternoon's-Sasaparilla".  Lets take a peek inside!
The fun embellishments you see here were from the same line.  They are just way too cute!
I don't know about the moon but this cowboy definitely has the cowgirls heart!
Some of the embellishments I created from odds and ends in my stash.  Every crafter has one!
Cowgirls come in all sizes, big and small.  These two are ready to ride!  Love the hats girls!!
This is a pocket which holds lots of fun pictures, journaling, and the momentum's.
 Here we are at the back of the book!  Hope you enjoyed.

Have a great weekend.
Stay warm and lets all stay hopeful that spring is just around the corner!

God Bless
