Lets Make a Mess
This week I got a little crazy with making felt flowers. I tried a few different tutorials I found online and made some flower hair clips for Lyla, and a few to pin on her clothes or to decorate her room.

Today was Benjamin’s 2nd Birthday. I have never been all that into birthdays, and yet I still teared up a little bit this morning when we went into his room to sing Happy Birthday when he first woke up.

I love playing around with fonts and colors and I especially love cute quotes and graphics. I made a couple printables from Beatles’ songs (All you need is love, and Blackbird). I still have a LOT to learn but I could definitely do this all day. This week I started a crafty link party called “The Cure for the Common Monday” and I would love it for everyone to stop
