Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!! We had a wonderful Christmas! The sale on ALL bags is still going on at my website and will end on Friday. So, hurry and order your bags before the sale ends! I will have another giveaway in January, so stay posted! Also, I have pictures to post, so when I find the time to get them on my computer, I'll add them to the blog!

Also, I saw a lady in the doctor's office today when I was bringing my son in for a check-up and she had the same exact brown toile diaper bag as I did! Isn't that funny?! So, I found out she got her bag from a boutique in town and they were charging I think $12 more for the bag than I sell it for. (And I forgot to ask your name, so if you are visiting my blog, thanks for stopping by! I hope your sweet boy is feeling better!:)

I have been price checking lately to make sure mine are the lowest around...especially on the giraffe print bags. They are selling for between $50-$58 in the places I've seen! WOW! So, mine are less than 1/2 that price! I love it!:) I'm sure some stores are able to buy their bags for less than I do, if they are a bigger company, but I love to see when other people charge more for their bags than I do - I want ya'll to always be getting the best deal!!:)

As you know, I have only been accepting orders on the 1st and 2nd of each month. However, I'm extending the order time this month due to TWO reasons...First, It's CHRISTMAS TIME!!! and Second, I have a new order of bags in and with Thanksgiving last week, I haven't had time to upload them yet! So, personalized orders will be accepted on these dates:

Monday, December 1 - Friday, December 5

I will be participating in a show next week but anything that does not sell at the show I will have available to order again by next Friday, December 12.

Merry Christmas!!

I'll check to see if they are still in stock at the company and we'll get an order together!

Cookies and Cups

A shower for Kaegan!

This Sunday I went to my friend Tiffany and her husband Marty's shower for a boy they are adopting from China soon! They are thrilled! They will hopefully be able to go and get him before Christmas. My friend Kristy was in charge of the cookies and cake and found the link to Sweet Treats Baking from my blog! Donna just started this business recently and makes the most amazing cookies! I thought everything turned out adorable!


She even made these cute cupcakes and Lion cake! Everything was delicious!
My camera didn't cooperate, so this is the only picture I have of Marty and Tiffany opening gifts!

I thought I'd share this fun idea that I used for my gift!

I bought these insulated cups at Target. It has a paper insert that a child can color to "make it their own."

I cut material to the same shape as the paper, monogrammed his name on the material, and here are the finished products!
They only had 2 left at Target or I would have snagged a bunch for my sweet boy! It will make keeping track of his sippy cup a lot easier when he's in the nursery or we're with a bunch of other children!

Diaper Bag, Burpcloths, etc.

Here's a few orders that were recently completed!

This diaper bag was so pretty! Sorry, but it's already sold out!

2 Burp cloths and a pacifier clip

Ribbon Keychain in yellow with white dots and purple monogram

I love this verse!
