Design a day Challenge - Day 4 of 30 - Cute Flags

 

Happy Thanksgiving! Well it was quite a success. The food that is. I stuffed a 5lb chicken and roasted a turkey breast as well. Made a few sides, such as mashed potatoes, salad, stuffing & gravy. My husband doesn't eat turkey so that's why I stuffed a chicken, and according to him, it was amazing! My daughter loved the turkey and ate 3 plates with mashed potatoes (3 small plates).

 

But I will tell you something, it was difficult to cook 2 birds. Next year, only 1 bird for this family! It was pretty tiring and I only cooked for 4 people, with plenty of left overs. Of course it was difficult because I'm over 8 months pregnant, but I will never underestimate what the cooks do in the kitchen during Thanksgiving.

So it was a bit difficult to get in my day 4 design, but as promised, here it is. Those cute flags that you see everywhere is what inspired me for this design. I first created a name print for girls or boys. Then it merged into taking the flag alone and making it into very cute stationery. You can choose the color you want and envelopes, to make it your own.

Well it's been a long day for me and I'm off to hang out with the better half!
Oh and what am I thankful for? My family :)

Holidays are around the corner!

Well the holidays are actually here! My daughter took some holiday pictures at her daycare. When I brang her home, I wanted to take a few shots of my own and I wanted to share.

 

 

 

Let there be cake!

My sweet little girl turned 4! We celebrated with cake, music and face painting with all her friends at her daycare. We did without the supersized cartoon character. Last year we brang Dora the Explorer and she turned out to be a little scary (for me), but the kids loved her! It was hard to keep the kids in order because all of them was trying to get Dora's attention.

Her teachers were great keeping the kids entertained with dancing and face painting. It was pretty funny seeing my daughter interact with all the kids. It consisted of most of them just trying to hang out with her and get her attention.

She enjoyed her party so much, and when we asked her what was her favorite part, she said the dancing and presents! It was just a very sweet day.

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!

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!
