She turned 2!


I can't believe my little one is 2 and boy have we moved into those throw down tantrums! whoooo..they can be quite the scene--dramatic actress in the making here in the Pare' house hold :)

As you can see Disney reigns in the DVD section of the videos and our love of the week was Nemo! Dory the fish fell over from the heat in the top pic!




Check out my PINK princess shoes:



See :)



LOL! Pink is our favorite color--we'll see once we move into our new house.

Have a great weekend!

This just puts a smile on!

Gotta find some fun in this hectic life! Check it out here :)

Where have I been?

Mending your heart takes some time. Although, the past few days the rumble of creative spirit is working itself back in my soul.


Have you seen that Joli Paquet is back up for the Holidays? I'm also taking Lisa Pace's All Hallow's Eve online class. Lots of cute ideas! I'm really tending toward Black and White this year. Check out my new banner. Devyn picked out the ghost at Target. I just love those little pumpkins and found some in white/cream color!

Spending lots of time with my little one; here are just a few clips.

Saturday afternoon trying on every hair bow in her closet. She looks so cute with pony tails and bows but she just won't leave them in so we play dress up :)


Next:
We are off to visit our play doh and make strings of stars. I have to admit fitting on one of those little chairs your bum is sore after 30mins!!







So I hope you are enjoying Fall. Right now I'm trying to sell my house and let me tell you, it stinks. Letting strangers in your house, lowball offers, keeping the darn place clean with a 2 year old, 2 gigantic dogs, and a husband...umph...
I told him that we need to sell this baby this weekend, after 2 weeks on the market I'm ready for it to be over! The promise is that we've had 2 offers and lots of showings!

Once we move, I will have my craft studio space!!! We found a house we like, needs some TLC and updating but LOTS of space! Lots of trees! and has neighborhood amenities, pool, tennis courts, pond, nature trail, and playground for the kids.

Off to watch some football and eat my specialty chicken I bake in the oven. Hope you are having a good weekend, ours is soggy and will be ALL week. Can't complain since we haven't had rain in over a month.

Sundays.....

I haven't shared in some time..healing process is going on but I must share a picture of my little one. This is what we are doing at 7am! LOL! I went to refill my coffee and swear she was going to bid on something on Ebay while I was gone for 5mins! LOL!! Devyn LOVES Mommy's new computer that Mommy splurged on herself. Ohhh, I'm so loving the laptop.

Sooo, on the other side of the bed is this :) My other sweet pee--Cookie. Check out that forlorn look!

I really hope everyone is having a great Sunday. I have to admit not committing myself to a bunch of stuff and just enjoying my daughter and pups has been very soothing. I hope to have some creative spirit soon.

Where the heck is FALL?! It's 97 today...Football and school starts in another week or so!

Thanks for all the support, xo Kris

Finally

I know I haven't posted much lately but honestly life isn't going well for me and hasn't for the past month. Not to dwell on it since that's not what you are here for but my spirit is down and hurting. I'm going to post a few items I've been working on but lately my creativity has been in the dumps. Bear with me while I transition through this phase--I'm not sure what will still be intact after it's over but it hasn't fully played out yet.

Let me know your thoughts on my new ventures:


This is a collage I made which is called Paper Dress. I designed the dress along with all its details. I am absolutely in love with paper dolls and this was inspired by them. Vintage trims, pearls. The dress is attached to the tulle so it's three dimensional. I LOVE this but it was not easy to photograph (lack of skill on my part!)





Next is a journal that I've been working on of which parts were from a kit from Cerri.

This so sweet journal is made out of vintage hankies (2), fabric, lace, and vintage paper doll images. The inside I embellished with more fabric and trim. Check out the back cover with the little girl peeking in the cover :)





I hope everyone is having a nice summer but won't be long the kids will be back in school here--mid August! I love hearing from everyone so please drop me a note or an email. I definitely need my friends now.
