My little Monkeys

Uncle Daniel LOVES his little nieces to pieces as he so often says and this means when he visit he takes plenty of photos. I'm so grateful that he does because I never got my own photos of the girls in their little monkey hats.  I was able to take these photos from his Facebook page :). I need to start marking the actual Layouts with the girls initials so we make sure later on even we can tell who was who! Thanks Uncle Daniel! TFL!

A girl can never have enough...

Hair accessories, especially when there are two Girls!

Our Family and Friends have helped to

make the collection even BIGGER!

And there is no doubt that Mommy adds

to the madness on a regular basis.

We have some very talented local ladies that make

BEAUTIFUL hair pieces and a

few online friends that do so as well.

Links to my favorite designers are below with photos

of their work on my little super models.

So how does one organize that many bows?

My buddy Erin got me started a
while back making little ones.

You can find my original one here.

For my little Cupcakes I began with

 two 16x20 and two 11x14 canvases.

THEY were too small. I needed more room.

So I went back to Big Lots and got five

of the Largest Canvases they had.

I then found fabric in an almost solid color that would allow

the bows to stand out as well as a few spools of ribbon.

I wrapped each canvas tightly with fabric

and stapled the fabric in the back.

Then I marked where I wanted the ribbon

and stapled the ribbon strips on.

From there I was able to organize the bows.

It's not enough room I admit but at

least there is some room to spare :).

6 Months

My little Cupcakes keep me extra busy so I love when I can say I finished a project! In this case it took me 2 crops to finally finish a Layout. The girls are growing so fast and every month we take tons of photos and have tried our best to get photos on the 22nd of each month to celebrate another month. Here are my little Cupcakes at 6 months old!

Ava is in the polka dots and Olivia is in the Orange. Both babies have so much personality. Justin and I call them the Princess and the Diva. Olivia is our princess. Ava is our little diva. Princess expects it. Diva demands it. Lol! Thank you for stopping by and happy scrappin'!

My little friend to be...

The internet has a funny way of
driving us all crazy, making us all
sad, mad, happy and excited!
One thing I have loved is that we can
connect with others from around the world.
I'm sitting here in AZ while one
of my best friends is in Kansas.
My best friend E and I have never
physically met, however we
have this mutual bond.

I met E through TallyScrapper.com
a few years ago.
It started with chats on messanger,
then video chats then snail mail of
boxes of little trinkets and though
now our lives are extra busy we still
have that connection.

Last year E made the most adorable
sugar cookies for my baby shower
and sent the girls gifts.
So when I found out she's pregnant I
knew I wanted to so make something
for little Huck to be.

I'm still learning to sew and one of
the first projects I did for the
Cupcakes was little lap blankets for
their carseats since BIG blankets
end up getting caught in everything.
So Little Huck needed some too!
Lucky boy I went crazy with his putting
little ribbons on the edges just like
the Taggies you find at the stores.
These blankets are just a bit
bigger than a fat quarter.
Perfect for his lap or even to
use as a changing mat on the go.

Many of us as new parents forget so
many of those specail moments we would
like to tell our children about someday.
As a way to give my best friend E and
her husband a way to do this I decorated
a little tin about 4x7 and printed off
journaling cards.
Some for Mommy and Some for Daddy!

I'm so happy for my friend and her growing family.

A little love...

...seat!

I've been on the search for a way to pose
the girls together in a fun and funky way.
Currently the girls sit on the adult rocking
chair in their room for photos, but even
though the subjects are ADORABLE the back
ground is getting boring.

I admit they don't quite sit up right
just yet but it doesn't stop a mommy
from trying something new.

So when I found this adorable hot
pink love seat at Ross I HAD to have it.

In order to break in the love seat we
got all dressed up and headed to the
park for photos, sunshine & fun!







I can't wait to scrapbook these photos.

Happy Crafting!
