Christmas Card Photos

I took a few pictures for my Cousin for her family Christmas card.

a couple for my brother

and a few for my neighbor

The Big Apple

My mother-in-law spoiled me (THANKS) with a trip to the big apple . I had such a great time.  I always have random pictures that I don't really want to scrapbook but want to remember. So my new favorite thing to do with them is to make alittle collage.

I loved all the colorful details of this June wedding. And I want this cake on this table to be in my front room right now!

Tea Party

Grandma (jane) threw the most fantastic frilly tea party for all her granddaughters. She made them all these beautiful dresses.

 She mailed them all a fancy invitation.

 The table was gorgeous with china, and crystal. She gave all the girls some cute white gloves. They all felt so fancy. They loved drinking their pink lemonade with their pinkies in the air.

 All the details for the party were GORGEOUS! What spoiled girls. We all loved every minute of it!! Thanks G-ma.

Field Day

We have this ugly little field by our house. Every time I drive by it I want to stop and go expoloring with the kids. I loved playing in the field when I was little.  So today I stopped and we ran through the ugly field. It was so much fun.

I made Brighty this cute lil Washington Husky as my husband calls it dress. I made it out of

Ruffle Fabric. I guess I'm a little obsessed (:

Downtown

B and I took a little photo stroll downtown P .  There were quite a few "crazies" and I think we might have been two of them.

All dressed up

Another Jcrew inspired dress. I had seen a beautiful grey ruffled dress online but call me crazy, I didn't want to spend $198 for a toddlers dress. So again Jane came to the rescue! I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out. She sorta used simplicity pattern 2709 but tweeked it A-LOT!!

We're lovin all the ruffles. Look at this beautiful Easter dress for my adorable/sweet/funny/ niece. It turned out beautiful. Thanks for being such a super model ms. S!

Ms. N is one of my beautiful laurels. She is graduating next month and wanted a few senior pictures. She is kind of book worm so we decided to take some quick pictures at the Library. I love how they turned out. It was kind of rainy the day we were taking pictures so I was trying to think of pretty indoor places we could go. I called a local garden nursery and asked if we could take some there. They were so nice and said of course, as long as we didn't bother any customers. The evening was a fun little adventure!!

Ruffle Dress

I found this adorable online fabric store.

RUFFLE FABRIC

Their customer service was amazing, and oh so friendly. I couldn't decide on a color and the nice woman told me the ice blue was so pretty in person. I took her word for it and

I LOVE it!

I bought 1 yard to test it out. It is $17.99 a yard. I was able to get a dress, a cute skirt (see my tutorial HERE). hair bow & Wristlet (see my tutorial HERE), belt, and another dress or skirt (i can't decide).

Jane whipped up this beautiful dress. I figured it probably cost a total of $6.00 to make.

(I had seen these dresses at JCREW. They are $69.50.)

And my cute little model. It was suppose to be her Easter dress but I don't think I can wait that long. She loves it and thinks she's Cinderella when she wears it.

Symphony & Softball

Brenna is another one of my cute Laurels. We braved the chilly weather one afternoon to take a few Sr. Pictures. The weather ended up being great. I am so sad to see her and the other seniors graduate. They have been so much fun, and I will miss them when they all head off to college.

(So Brenna Here's a little sneak peek)
