Valentine Soiree!!!

My exciting day of overwhelming creativity!  It doesn't happen often that I get this ambitious, so I felt the desperate need to share;-)  I LOVE Valentines Day (what girl doesn't) and to get in the "mood" I dedicated my day to crafting only using colors and fabrics in pink, red, white, and lace:-)

Everything pictured is handcrafted, sewn, or re-purposed and refurbished by Moi!!  PS....all of the flowers are hair clips and brooch pins!

Hand embellished upcycled lamp shade! Fit for a princess:-)

Sexy with a touch of vintage handmade blank journal

Flower pin/hair clip

Can you tell I had Valentines Day on my mind;-)

All of my creations today:-)  Feeling pretty ambitious!

Re-purposed picture frame.  Now it's a dry erase board!

Alex's boring white mirror  turned shabby chic and fabulous!

A Few New Family Pics!

Tis The Season...

  This past week has been awesome as we had a few of our closest friends visit and we became god parents for the first time to beautiful precious Lauren Elise Cobley!   We are so honored and we can't wait to get everything ready for her baptism!


 After Sean and Kassie left for home back to Denver,  I started reflecting on my role as Laurens god mother and what this season is really all about...friends, family, sharing, giving, reflection, and most important celebrating and remembering our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  

Take a look at our little angel God Daughter!  

Another Halloween has come and gone!  Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here in a blink of an eye.  Alex is officially in scary costume mode...no more cute princess, ballerina, angel costumes (unless of course it has vampire, or evil villain of some sorts in front of it).  Sad for me because it's just another sign that my baby girl is growing up way faster than I can emotionally handle.  


We had fun trick or treating!  We had about twelve little ones in the crew all running up to the doors of the Moore's neighbors!  Anyone that knows these kids... you know that was a "Uh-oh here comes trouble" at each house;-)   


On another note, SAS had the first dance performance of the season at the Gilbert fall festival this past Saturday!  All the dancers did amazing!  They all work SO hard balancing competition dance schedules, school, homework and trying to maintain a social life!!  I think the same goes for the parents and teachers.  


Below are a few pics of the kids on Halloween night!

The Crew!

Cute Cousins!

Girly Girlz!

Girlfriends Are So Awesome!

Naturals in front of the camera!

 

 Silly Girls:-)

 

"Oh-No"!!!

Let's get out of here

These little girlie girls are such great little BFF's and I just LOVE all four of them so much!  They all bring so much laughter and light in our house when they're at the house:-)  I love hearing the endless giggles and pitter patters of their little (but growing fast) feet. I'm so grateful and try to take in as much as I can of the pure innocence they still possess.  Not a real care in the world! ahhh, to be eight again...

Alex Playing In The Rain!

As we know all to well, rainy days in Phoenix are far and few in between.  So, when Alex came home from school last Tuesday the rain was coming down and she was eager and ready to grab her polka dot umbrella and run outside to dance in the rain!  I couldn't resist grabbing the camera and following her outside to catch a few pics of my little button girl:-)  

Alex fishing!!  Don't be fooled by the cute smile;-)  We all learned very quickly during our nature hike that Alexandra is not the "outdoorsy" type.  She reminded us of it the entire hike...Apparently she prefers to "keep her shoes clean and dry and does not like to see and smell horse poo".
