Sock Monkeys and More: Shop Update

Got a little shop update, happening soon...

Jamie :)

I caved...

...and let her get store-bought Dora Valentine's day cards...

We had big plans, we did!  But, we've had a lot on our plates these past few weeks and when she asked for these, I only hesitated for like...a milisecond :)  She's really enjoying tearing them, folding them, and putting stickers on them, so I'll call it a win and move on.

I did however make these for my family, so that should count for something...

They were really easy to make!  I just freehanded and cut out a heart on glittery pink felt and stitched it to a card I had spritzed with glimmer mist.  I used coordinating blue thread to match the mist and then stamped 'love you.'  Easy peasy but oh so cute.

So, are you making your kiddos V-day cards this year or buying them (from the store or a handmade seller)?

Jamie :)

As if I need any more reasons...

...to love this little girl!  How can we possibly love our little ones more than we already do...right!?  But, every day (okay, aaaalmost every day...we all have our moments ;), they do something that just makes me want to squeeze them tight and never let go.

She's so fun, so I treat her to Zinga on a whim...

My current Scrapbooking obsessions include: washi tape, stitching on paper, glitter (of course), and random sequins.

Her current Scrapbooking obsession is: 'organizing' her supplies & stickers (how could I not want to squeeze her!?)...

I love her because she puts up with my Pho obsession and she waits with me patiently when mommy needs her fix and we go to pick some up...

I love her because she puts up with mommy's gym habit and even joins in for some fun...

This girl (and the others in school) are awesome and I'm so lucky to be their Mum!  I need to remind myself more often and make sure they know this.  Have you hugged your kids (human or furry ;) today?
