Welcome Baby Dee!

We have some overdue news to share... Six weeks overdue...

We welcomed Baby Dee into the world on January 11th!

You may have wondered where I disappeared to... Last month, I shared that the new year would mean a lot of changes for us. We recently bought a house, and welcomed our sweet little one into our world. Our lives are now filled with sleepless nights, a whole lot of wetness, an absurd amount of pink (even though we requested to have none!), and a ton of love. :) 

If you're a regular reader around here, you may have guessed that photos of our wee babe will be few and far between... (consider yourself lucky that you got to see this one!) I apologize in advance, but I'm selfish and I want to keep all this cuteness to myself! Giggle. Just kidding... I really just have insane anxiety about posting personal photos for the world to see. So, instead, we have started a private blog for our friends and family, so if you fall in one of those categories and have not yet received an invite to the blog, feel free to e-mail me. If you're not sure if you fall into one of those categories, just send me cookies and I'm sure we'll be friends soon. :)

And I want to warn you that I may be sharing a lot of non-crafty posts, just because a) that's basically my life now, and b) I kind of feel guilty about not posting ANYTHING, so you'll get what you get! Haha. But I promise to TRY to be on here once in a while... and eventually, I'm sure I'll get back into crafting...

For now, let me get back to snuggling my sweetie pie... 

New Year... New Me...

Happy New Year Friends! :)

Surprise! I'm back for a quick hello!

I'm sure you've guessed it, but there is a lot going on around these parts lately, which is why I've disappeared (yet again!)

My goal is to get back into blogging soon, but I want to warn you that the content here might be changing up a bit... We've recently moved into a home and are getting ready to welcome a little one into our lives in just one short week! YIKES! A lot has changed in a year! :)

With that said, I'm sure you can understand that I might be a little preoccupied and a little focused on other blogging topics. I hope you don't mind! Quite honestly, I haven't picked up my crafty stuff in a looooong time (except to pack everything away into moving boxes.) But I'm thrilled to share that our new home has a space just for my crafty things and I'm hoping to figure out some way to carve in a little me time, after our little one arrives!

I'm sure we'll see how things go... Hopefully you'll hear from me soon!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 326

Hi friends! I'm back again with a fun and fresh color challenge for Cupcake Inspirations. We have another wonderful sponsor this week... Lawn Fawn! Aren't these cacti just too fun?!

The DEEtails:

I'm in love with Lawn Fawn's Stuck on You stamp set, which I stamped in various shades of green and cut out. I potted them in some Midnight Muse pots and added some cute little flowers for a little fun flair. I layered some fabulous burlap ribbon over a fun patterned print and added a sentiment in Kraft cardstock. Hope you like my simple card today! 

Paper: Confetti Celebration DSP, Kraft cardstock, Midnight Muse cardstock, Whisper White cardstock
Stamps: Stuck on You (Lawn Fawn)
Ink: Crisp Cantaloupe, Mellow Moss, Pistachio Pudding, Sage Shadow, VersaMark
Embellishments: Burlap Ribbon
Tools: Simply Said Hello die (Avery Elle)

Now hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations blog and see what the rest of the Sweeties have created. Hope you'll play along with us this week for a chance to win a great prize from Lawn Fawn! :)
