Sunny Sunday...

Thinking about swimsuits on a Sunday afternoon- J Crew must be reading everyones blogs, lots of their suits look like they have been re-fashioned or have flowers, and ties. SO CUTE! Just a few of my favs.

My ultimate FAV...think I am getting this in what else but, PURPLE!

Oh Mah Gahhhhh!!!

I don't think I have been this excited in a long time. I was "featured!"

The lovely Mique has an AWESOME blog Thirty Handmade Days and she has a "Pity Party" each Friday. I linked up my Mickey Mouse themed birthday party and she featured it. I have never been featured before so this makes me OH SO HAPPY! Thanks Mique! If you have never checked out her blog please stop by and say Hi. She has a facebook page too!

Three Things Thursday!

Three Things making me happy today


Number One:

We booked a trip to the beach!
Its only for a long weekend but its with a group of friends during the 3rd week in May
Right around my birthday! Cannot wait to put my toes in the sand!

Number Two:

We are heading out there on Saturday! Cant wait! Great Music & Food!

 Number Three:

There are only 27 days left of the school year!
I know I probably shouldn't be happy about this, but MAN! I need a break! LOL


What is making you happy today?

Wacky Idea for a Wednesday...

Every morning on my way to work I pass this empty building that is Zoned for Commercial use. And every single morning I think, wow. I wish I could rent this place and have all my blogger friends sell me their crafty lovelies wholesale and have the best blog gone craft lovely shop ever. My mother in law has always wanted to own a gift shop and i would love to be able to sit in a store and sell lovelies to people and blog all day. I know what a life? I cant sew and am semi-crafty. I  have good ideas but they seldom come to. So everyone who is interested give me your wholesale info, let me sell sell sell, your lovelies in my shop and I'll quite my dayjob. Thanks :)
I just had the thought wanted to put it out there in the universe. LOL

What a wackadoo post for a Wednesday.

My little piece of happy today...

Today when I arrived home I found a little piece of happy. My new Summer 2011 Boden Catalog. I will take one of everything please. Seriously. I dont think I found one think I didnt like or want.

Mickey Mouse Birthday Party

Birthday Cake made by my friend Jenny ( I helped a little)

My Mickey Mouse Wreath, that I did a tutorial on a few weeks back.



I was so proud of this banner and my hubs took this picture and cut off the beginning of the banner, but you know what it says ;)

Year in Pictures banner. I love doing this! I still have my older sons. He looks at it all the time.

Entry way. Printable from eighteen25! and Ben's 1 year pic  and some Mickey cutouts from my silhouette.

My favor bags- with Mickey cutouts from my silhouette, and inside were mickey bubbles and crayons.

I made an AWESOME pinata and this is the only picture I have. I am upset. I have to have someone who has a better picture. Its still in my garage I may recreate it just so I have a good pic. LOL

This hurricane glass was sitting on my island and I didnt know what to do with it, so I used what curling ribbon I had left from my pinata making in red and yellow and threw in some Mickey heads. Cute and SO easy. This could be done for so many holidays!

And my polkadot balloons from Polkadot Market and Mickey from Party City.

Enjoy! Ben Henry had a blast! I am exhausted. Now Eli cant wait to start planning his party in July.
