A slice of Sunshine

We've had the worst bout of weather the last few weeks. It pretty much goes like this...rain one day...no rain the next...rain again...no rain. Cities south of us had 7 inches in 2 hours a few days ago. I'm a little bummed since guess what? More rain tomorrow. Tomorrow is the little guys birthday party. We were all set for a sunny day. We rented an inflatable water slide and was hoping that and other water activities would be the hit. Wishful thinking on my part. Even so I know Leyton will have a blast with his friends and will enjoy his Lego themed party. He's been counting down the days.


Despite all the rain I thought these lovely mini suitcases by Pinky Bleu add a bit of sunshine. How adorable, right? I had this seller hidden when I first saw these on Esty's front page awhile back. The shop is currently closed but, you'll have to take a peek at some of the sold items. There are even gift sets with a onesie inside the mini suitcase. What a great baby shower gift!

Camera Strap

I've been really enjoying my new Nikon camera but, I do have to say that who ever thought of a padded camera strap cover was really thinking. I love my camera but, wearing it around my neck for awhile really does irritate and hurt it.

I'm a bit of a novice to the sewing world but, in my time I've sewn some simple skirts and curtains and I thought I'd search a bit to find a good tutorial on how to make a padded camera strap. I found this one at Priddy Creations and the way she shows how to make it looks pretty easy peasy.

I'll let you know how mine turns out!

A few lovely customer photos

I haven't shared many customer photo cards lately and thought these two were just too lovely to not too.

That's her Dad's Harley!


This was a 2 sided invitation I did for this lovely grad. Seriously...can anyone be any more beautiful?

LEGO Party Invitations


Whew...We just got done with Maddie's party and here I am on to planning Leyton's. When asked what sort of party he'd like it was hands down a LEGO one. The kid loves LEGOS right now so, LEGOS it is.

I searched the web a bit and really liked these simple party ideas here so this was a bit of an inspiration. I love the paper LEGO's hanging from the ceiling and that is already on my list.

Here are the invitations I designed for Leyton's 6th birthday party. He is completely excited for this. I am too! I have some great ideas and once again cannot wait to share another birthday party with you.

Favor Toppers - Freebies


The tutu's that I made was part of the party favor's that Maddie's friends got to take home. She also handed out little treat bags. I designed the bag toppers that coordinated with the colors I used for the rest of the party.

These were a fun and simple touch and what better then to share them with you. I designed some like the above/colors and also some other fun bright ones. These fit a 3.75 x 6 treat bag that I found at Michaels craft store. For the pink, green and orange toppers go here. For the other colored ones go here. Enjoy!

Have a safe and fun 4th weekend!!!
