Belly Tales {8 months}

I failed.

Twice.

#1- Ever is already 9 months, but I am JUST editing 8 month photos. I almost didn't, but decided I better finish what I started.

#2- I forgot to include his blanket in these ( like HERE, HERE , HERE...etc...)

Ever at 8 months is crawling and cruising, started saying "mama" when he was really mad, or maybe it was "grandma" since I swear he stopped saying as soon as we got back from our two weeks with my mom. He eats anything and everything, is wearing size 18 month clothing (thank goodness my sisters have lots of hand-me-downs!) and is all around less cranky with each day (praise the Lord!). 

Think I can get his 9 month photos done by the end of this month? 

Sure gonna try!! 

Plum Picking {lifestyle photography}

Plum picking on a hot August day...

Now its time to start baking, canning, and drying!

Readbox, Redbox + a printable!

I love renting movies from Redbox..although I am not the greatest at returning them within one day and they always end up costing me more than a $1!

Which is LAME.

But this post isn't really about Redbox, its about a Readbox.
Confused? Probably...here's the story...
My cousin asked if I would add the words Readbox to a bookshelf she has at school. She had already painted it red, so all I had to do was make a template and paint!

Its an easy 1,2,3 process!

1:
Rub the back of the template with pencil like this...

Craigslist Shopping

I have been addicted to shopping Craigslist...

I fully admit I shouldn't even be on there until we close on our house (which could be in the next couple weeks!), because I have NO WHERE to put anything. A girl can dream tho, right?

So here are a few of my favorite finds...

Two awesome leather chairs for $50 ! 

Might make an exception and go buy these...

This could be an amazing desk/worktable in my office...

but at $179, its gonna have to wait...

$100 for a cowhide rug! Holla! Keeping my eye one this one!

Houndstooth Chair! 

This would be SO perfect in Ellery's room, but at $130 its just too pricey to justify right now. Although I do picture hours of reading that could happen in this chair...hmmm...

World Market Barstools...$160 for the pair! I want! 

Or I could settle for this set for only $25!

Love these...only I waited to long and they are down to just one...

Some amazing finds and I wish I could snap them all up today...oh well, I will just keep my eye on all of them...and notice I didn't provide links(because I want them all to myself!) Lol!

 Be looking to see if any of these make it home with me!

The Amazing Spiderman Thank You Cards

I love when I get requests for design work, especially when it pushes me out of my comfort zone! 

I used THIS FONT for the word "spideriffic"

My sister asked me to make these "thank yous"  for her son's 4th birthday. She was inspired by comic books and some invitations she found on Etsy. I have never created anything comic related, but I really enjoyed the process! I love G-Man in his Spider suit looking all tough and stuff and am super proud to say I created this entire thing from scratch ..including drawing the skyline of Seattle! 

Totally Spideriffic!

Heavenly Birthday

Its been 8 years without you...
My first born, my first angel.
