Make Something Monday!

My mom wanted a new flower arrangement for her coffee table but could not find one she liked. For Mother's Day I decided to make her one. All supplies came from Hobby Lobby.

Make Something Monday!

I need to post a few more of the prizes I have won, but I have been very busy sewing for a wedding in San Diego. Here is the finished product. A custom bridesmaid dress!

I was approximately the same size as the bridesmaid, so I put the dress on for the pictures. It looked weird just on a hanger because of all the ruching. And please don't mind the horrible pictures. My husband wasn't home so I was trying to take them myself with the auto timer. I hope the wedding was great this last weekend!

Picture Princess!

My daughter is the Picture Princess!  Other than being absolutely adorable, having fabulous tan skin all year, and beautiful curly hair she is just full of joy.  She loves to dress up like a princess and dance around.  She makes costumes out of anything she can find and adds my high heels to her ensemble.  

Shabby Apple is having another amazing contest to find a Princess for their "little girls and girls dresses from Shabby Baby."  I picked the Hibiscus dress for my princess but it was hard to choose.  The entire Shabby Baby line is so cute.  I would like to nominate my baby to be the next Princess!

Prizes!!!

I started this Blog to enter a contest.  I did not win this contest. :(  But I have now discovered all sorts of giveaways and contests on other Blogs and I am addicted to entering!  My husband thinks I'm a little crazy, but I have now won a few times and I love it.  I thought I might mention a few of my winnings so you all can check out the products from the great people who have sent me prizes!  

If you check my sidebar you will see the Playlist I made to enter to win a copy of Twilight. 

  I made a list of songs I thought would be good for the next movie New Moon and Brooke from the New Moon Event blog thought it sounded good too because I won.  Check out her blog for all the latest Twilight Saga info and if you live in Utah you can get all the details for her New Moon premier event.  (her Twilight premier event was AWSOME!)

I also won a $20 credit to Bowlicious Bowtique.  I was able to order the cutest bows I have ever seen for my daughter.  

My favorite was the pink and green bow.  My daughters favorite is her pink kitty cat bow!

  They are very well made and the prices are great!  I will definitely be ordering more of these fabulous bows!   Make sure to check out the Bowlicious Bowtique blog.

One other prize I wanted to let you know about is The Awesome Book.  It is a great book about how people have given up on their dreams and we really need to be dreaming big.  It is a great story with very colorful, whimsical drawings.  My daughter loves to look at all the bright pictures.  You can purchase and read the whole story here.

If you want to win some prizes too then make sure to check out the Spring Bash going on over at Jolly Mom and Go Graham Go!  They have lots of giveaways going on right now!

"Mommy Chicest"

Shabby Apple is hosting a vignette contest which requires a link on your blog to their website.  So, (drum roll!) here is my very own blog.  My vignette is entitled "Mommy Chicest" and was inspired by the very cool diaper bag, Hydrangea.  I am the mother of one and if I go any where with the baby the diaper bag comes too.  It might as well be a very chic diaper bag if it is always on my arm while we are out.  The dress, Oxford, is perfect to show of a tiny waist right after the baby weight has been lost.  To finish of the ensemble I chose the Rock Princess necklace to show off the sweetheart neckline and the Omniscent shoes in grey to accent the blue on the diaper bag or tan to accent the brown in the necklace.
