Sweet Ones Series

Handpainted collage tag I've named the Sweet Ones Series. Aren't these children so cute? I handpainted with pastel chalks, vintage wallpaper, button, and flower, and a lovely pink satin ribbon.
I plan on making a few more with these children but all will be one of a kind collages.

It's finally getting mid week and my day job is taking its toll this week! Ready for a weekend!
Off to put little one to bed then myself. I'm sooo tired.

All Dressed Up!

My little lady, AnnaMae, is all ready for dinner and a dance! This dress form is from Cerri's shop. She has the loveliest items. You must check her out! The silk ribbon is from Pretty Petals. Another lovely shop! Glitter is painted on the dress form to add as jewelry. Feather ribbon and pink pearls complete the look!

LOVE it! This tiny little dress form reminded me of my childhood. My best friend, Dona and I, would 'dress' our Barbies. We spend HOURS doing this. I was lucky enough to have beautiful scraps of velvet, silk, ribbons...My late Grandfather owned and operated a sewing and upholstery business and did only antiques. My Grandmother was the epitome of PINK! VELVET! SILK!

It's nice to go back to my heritage-New York and 'see' my late grandparents work in the prominent homes and museums. It's sad that this is a dying art form.

I promise to upload our Pumpkin Patch pictures soon. D loved it! She picked a pretty one for $4.

My First Birthday Party!

Very early on my Birthday morning. Mommy needs more off her juice called Dunkin Donuts coffee! Below is Mommy putting out my decorations and setting my Birthday table.



Check out my Chenille Rabbit. I LOVE it :)



All dressed up...where is my family..they don't tell time very well. I'm off to amuse myself with my balloon.



Lucky asking Mommy to have D quit boinking her with the balloon.
Cookie has the smart idea---ran off to sleep on Mommy's bed. Her she is saying Get Out! Leave me alone :)

FINALLY! Cake!! Ice Cream!! Whooppppppeee...

Before:


After!

The ice cream was my favorite! I passed out from all the sugar after a few hours. Mommy was tired but happy.

Sweet Shabby Cards!

I like making simple sweet cards and they are QUICK! This is very much needed having a 1 yr old--She was pulling out all my ribbons at my feet as I made these :)


(Gee Mommy I don't see what the big deal is with all these pretty ribbons..Drool and all!)

This one is for Pink October-Breast Cancer Awareness. I've got a few more projects I'm working on and hope to have them up this week!

Have a great Sunday! It's beautiful here-sunny and cool around 80 degrees--off to get my magazines and get some much needed rest. D and I both have sinus infections--she's on an inhaler because of so much chest yuckiness. Awwh, the changing of the seasons in the South!
I used Anna Griffin papers, card stock, seam ribbon, flowers, vintage flower on the Hope card, and vintage wallpaper from Holly. The inspirational cards I used these scrapbook embellishments I found in the clearance bin.




I LOVE Pottery Barn!

Oh, looky what was in their PB Kids catalog! I MUST have :)

Look at the SIZE of this advent calender~~big enough to tuck a few sweet treats and yummies in it to help move the month along!
OMG! Can you say CUTE? Look at this bag! My Favorite-POM POMS!! hheeeee......I can just picture this with my Dad as Santa! HA! Well, maybe Daddy since he's all SILVER hair while Grampy is BALD :) Shhhhh...told let them know I told ya.



Just had to share...off to drool some more. I absolutely MUST have this too!

A few of the projects

I've been working on.

First it's the Vintage Hankie Bunting from the Sweet Six Studio workshop. I purchased a bag full of vintage hankies for a steal, washed them, and most were in very good shape. My bedroom window needed that something extra. It's been months trying to think of something and bam! this was perfect. I had put up my Rachel Ashwell valance which is a very light shade of pink. My bedroom windows are three across or 96 inches! That's a lot of window. I LOVE how it came out. Several pictures to capture it up close.



I also finished Squirt's (aka D) birthday banner and crown! I love it. Bright colors and lots of glitter. It matches her lantern I did (see below with pom poms). Okay, my new love is pom poms :)

I have to say that was the toughest thing to capture. The pics are still not showing how beautiful it came out. I'll try again on her birthday. She kept trying to pull them down today!

The shape is a flower with flower centers and chip board letters. So cute! Please don't look at my vintage WRINKLED tablecloth. I always use my vintage tablecloths on my kitchen table but never iron them.




As you can see I've ALREADY started putting up my Halloween items!

The CUTE crown I made for her out of the same scrapbook paper, pom poms :), and butterfly embellishments, and ribbons to tie around her head. A big D for her name. She is going to look so sweet on her 1st Birthday!

Altered Journal







It's FINALLY done! My first altered journal! It's taken forever it seems due to numerous interruptions. I love how it's so feminine and frou frou. I need to learn my new digi camera better. I'm am stinkin at the close ups!

My glam journal for your viewing :)

The butterfly with ribbons is the bookmark.




Tags!











Okay, this is my first jaunt into making tags. I did simple. Lots of fun!
