TOMS... in need of some dressing up.

I just bought some TOMS recently and absolutely love them. How can you not!? I did, however, think that they needed a little lift or fanciness, if you will. So I decided to make some little flowers to dress them up. I only put them on one shoe, and still contemplating if I should make a couple more for the other side, or if it would be too much!?! What do you think??

If you put it in a frame, it looks organized

I am a sucker for a clean and organized look and anything that you can buy to make it look that way! I bought one of those Pottery Barn daily system that I absolutely love! I've been wanting to make something to organize the chaos on my refrigerator, so this weekend (if I have time) I will be making a framed organizer for my fridge. My thoughts are that if I frame all my coupons, pictures, cards, art work from Jacob and other stuff it appears organized and clean.
Here's hoping there's time in my weekend to buy all my supplies and make it happen! I'll post pics once I'm finished!

Dayton Turns 1

On April 9th my second born turned 1... how fast time has gone by! I had so much fun planning his party. I had searched and searched for the perfect theme for his party... I decided on a puppy party, this kid loves dogs. There was nothing in the stores that I like for the theme, so I got down to creating... I made a shirt with a paw print theme, cupcake toppers, doggie bags and treats, table runners, dog bone shaped cookies, and a personalized birthday banner (I had a help cutting and finding the perfect font for the banner from my friend Anna-ADN designs). It was a huge success!! Here are some photos of my little boy's PERFECT party!
