Ashlee Nicole is ONE

My niece Ashlee turned "ONE" on Saturday.

I think she has the gift unwrapping down.

This is my absolute favorite picture of Lindsey and Ashlee. This was taken right after Ashlee was born.

Lindsey is so proud of her baby cousin. Christmas is going to be a BLAST this year with the two of them. I can't wait.

YUMMY Ice cream!

I took Lindsey to Carvel Ice Cream after school last week. Yummy stuff. She discovered what I like to call the "sprinkle buffet". Every color sprinkle you can think of, well not lime green as was pointed out to me. I think she sampled every color combo imaginable. It was the last day of school before Fall Break began so I figured if she was up all night from the sugar it really wouldn't matter.

Silly girl!

She said her school colors tasted the best. GO LYNX!!

Who Knew?

Who knew Costco could be so much fun? Especially when you are with a friend. David and I took Lindsey and her friend Lexi to Costco over the weekend. We had to go and they didn't mind tagging along. These girls CRACK ME UP!!

Lindsey is playing the piano while Lexi dances for the shoppers. TOO CUTE!!! Wait I am not supposed to use the word CUTE anymore. Anyway... They were CUTE, so there.

Lindsey and Lexi have been friends since they were 2 years old. It is sooooo important to have good friends. I always tell Lindsey this and also that it is important to BE a good friend. Your good... wait... great friends become your family and they are the ones you can always count on. I know this.

Random busy work...

I spent some time this weekend finishing up some orders and also creating some Halloween stuff for us. I believe it was in Martha Stewart's Halloween issue last year that I saw carved pumpkins with your monogram. Well I loved them but never got around to doing any. I pulled out some of my foam pumpkins that I have been using for the last few years and decided to put my flair on the monogram pumpkin, this is the result:

My Mom was in town this weekend, so I did a "P" for her.

I also made some Halloween buckets for my friend Jessica:

and one for us:



















I decided to try something new with the handle on ours, I used fabric scraps, ric rac, and ribbons to embellish. I really like how it turned out.
