This is the book I made to remember but nephew, Holden Edward.  He would have been one this november and this has been a really tough time for my family.  I would wish that everyone would keep them in their prayers.  I tried to keep this book simple and elegent.  I was thinking of doing it all in black and white but like the reality of color.

Hair Bows

My newest obsession is HAIR BOWS!! I have been attempting to make them for my daughter, who's 2 years old. She's so darn cute and what's cuter than a cutie with a bow in her hair. After buying several off ebay and etsy I decide to try my hand at making some of the simpler types. I want to let anyone who's interesed know a great site to get tips hair hardware blogspot she gives the best instruction I've found so far. She also has a site where she sells the parts for making hair bows. I've become a follower, and suggest you do to if you're interested

thank you

Classic Black 5x7 folded card

Unique party invitations and greeting cards by Shutterfly.

A good way to use any card codes you have (if you are already done with your christmas cards) is to make thank you cards for a party you know you have coming up. I made these cards for my son's birthday party in advance, that way I was all set for sending them out after the party. And could you get a cuter thank you card!!!

Our christmas card for the year.  We actually had quite a few good pictures to choose from this year.  I prefer the simpler cards but I saw quite a few that I could have done also.  The red appealed to me mostly because of our outfits.  The shutterfly cards come on pretty heave stock and the envelopes are really pretty thick also.  I have ordered from shutterfly multiple times and have always been satisified.  Excellent customers service also!

Monster Truck Grave Digger Party

We found Hot Wheels Grave Digger in the garbage that DH pulled out (in great condition!) that he managed to get running again and the obsession was off. So for his birthday party this year I went Grave Digger (said in a deep growl, you get the idea)





I really only did a cake for this party, as I sometimes have a life but I wanted share it because it was super easy and turned out really cute

He had two small Hot Wheel Grave Diggers that I was able to use around the outside

I got the topper off eBay and they added the pic of my son's head in the Grave Digger and sent it to me. All I had to do was place it on the cake

Crushed up Oreo's around the outside to simulate dirt and I was done

I can't figure out how to get the photos rotated ...so sorry
