Spring is here - Cool find for a dollar!

Hey everyone!

Im one of my previous posts about the cool things I found at Target, I mentioned that I love to browse the dollar section for anything my daughter will like, without breaking the bank! Well, after my dentist appointment I stopped by Target next door and yes, another win! I found this very cool little flower pot that comes with a paint brush and 4 paint colors.

It was recommended for children 8 and up, but I thought with my supervision, it would be okay. And so, 20 minutes later here is the final product:

Ok first of all, that is chocolate over her mouth and not paint. Secondly, although she doesn't display the most artistic talent, this pot is the most beautiful thing I seen all week. I loved it so much that I told her that its time to pick a flower from the garden to plant in the pot. She loves it so much, that we gave it its own very home on a window sill that is kid height friendly.

Baby shower with books

I have an unhealthy obession with books. My husband and I talk about if we ever win the lottery that we will buy a new home and in that new home, one room will be lined with bookshelves filled with books. It makes me weak in the knees, like this picture here:

Don't you love it?  I collected a few beautiful photos from Flickr and wanted to share it with you.

So in honor of my most favorite possession in the world, I created a baby shower invitation that encourages guests to bring along a baby/children's book, along with a gift and before the gift opening, the mother can share with everyone the books she received for her little joy. While this idea is not original, I designed this to showcase my love of books and how important it is to teach our youth that reading is a wonderful thing.

Will  be posting it soon to my Etsy store, along with matching thank you cards. Stay on the lookout!

Cheap finds for kids

I love going to Target. Why? Because I love going to the dollar section right near the entrance. I find super things there that I can use for my daughter. Books, toys, coloring books, you name it. Look at these great Sesame Street books I found for 1 dollar each! My daughter is 2 and a half years old and loves them. They are a great learning tool for her. So my daughter gets her quick fix for Sesame Street and mommy gets to work on her Etsy shop. Hope you guys check out Target for super cute things and I promise I don't work for them, lol!

Flickr Photo #2 Pencil vs. Camera

I came across this Flickr photo and I had to share it with you. This artist Ben Heine takes a real life scenario and then draws on paper 3/4ths of it. It gives him a chance to recreate the scene his way. I just love some of his creations! Take a look at the interview and other photos of his work here.

Enjoy!
