Special Delivery...A Happy Halloween!!

With Envy Wednesday-Happy Halloween!

I know, I know its Thursday not Wednesday! But I was sick the past two days and I had this all ready but I didn't set it up to auto-post. So I'm doing it today. Halloween is Sunday so I thought I would show you some fun inspiration for a fun party! Munchkin's birthday is 6 days before Halloween so I know somewhere down the line we will end up having a Halloween themed birthday party too :) I'm sure a lot of these items are seasonal so check them out and also the rest of the items in these talented Etsian's shops...you will be amazed and inspired and maybe make a purchase or two!

Unexpected Bday Present (No I'm Not Preggo Mom)

Have I mentioned that I LOVE getting packages in the mail?? Well it was perfect timing yesterday...I asked the hubs to check the mail (we don't do it every day because the box is up the street so its not like we have a mailbox in front of our house). He came back with this lovely package. I was so excited....it was perfect because it was like a bday present for Munchkin even though I didn't intend it to be one. I featured Twillypop in a past "With Envy Wednesday". I happened upon Sara's shop when it was featured on the front page of Etsy and I fell in love. Sara's necklaces are so creative and would work with a t-shirt and jeans or something fancy. She also has a shop for girls necklaces, Twillypopgirl. Truth be told I would wear any of those necklaces too :)

Love the packaging...sooo cute!

The weekend before last Sara was trying to get to 40 sales in Twillypopgirl. She offered her Jackie necklace free with your Twillypopgirl order. My fingers couldn't move fast enough, I couldn't pass up such a good deal!

Munchkin took an instant liking to her Trinity "neckie"...and my shoes :)

Awwww a much better picture....love this girl and her "neckie"

There are no pics of her wearing Jackie because I had it on most of the night then when I got a chance I had to hide them both to avoid a bedtime meltdown and her losing one or both. I'm hoping to get some cute pics of her wearing her necklace when she gets her pics taken on Weds. or at her birthday party on Saturday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

she just got her school pictures done so she was posing :)

I can't believe my little Munchkin is 2 already!!! You're too young to read this but I love you and you are the reason I do what I do :)

You're Invited

I've started the count down to Munchkin's birthday/birthday party. The "theme" is balloons because she LOVES them.

I had the original design before I ordered her party shirt from Modern Frills. Originally I was going to do a rainbow color scheme but after getting her shirt I pulled the colors from the shirt as I think they are a good mix.

Now I just have to get everything else ready and hopefully Munchkin won't be in time out for her party (we got incident report #3 today plus a call from school basically saying they don't know what to do with her...ugh)

How I Feel...

This sums up my feelings as I prepare for the half-marathon, Munchkin's birthday, her birthday party, Halloween and my family's visit. Plus trying to get work done before I take a week off. AHHHH!!

With Envy Wednesday-Flower Power

Yesterday on my Facebook Fanpage I posted a link to a tutorial on making fabric flowers. I have been seeing them everywhere and they are just so darn cute. I was actually first inspired by this dress I found at Target.

I was looking for a dress for Munchkin to wear for her 2 year pictures. I like how the dress is simple with a pop of fun.

So this week I am featuring some fab Etsian and their cute and style items with a fabric flower flare (say that one 3 times fast!)

Don't forget stop by their shop or any of their social media sites and say "hey!"
