7 hair clips and a hair clip holder!! Holy cute!

Was Elliott's girlfriend's *wink* birthday, we made her a super special present for her birthday! 

 Holy cute!! 

Adorable hair clip holder for baby shower!

Fun hair clip holder and a whole lot of clips gift for a baby shower.  Loved making these for my close friend!   The yellow polka dot fabric is ridiculously adorable and one of my favorites! Worked out perfect that my close friend is a BIG fan of yellow. 

A couple decorations for baby girls baby shower!

Was asked to help with some of the decorations for a baby shower.  The above picture was a plate chosen for the theme.  Fun!

I decided to get some crepe paper streamers in three of the colors of the baby shower.  The above photo shows the plate black but it's really brown.  I got one of my wood dowels to put the crepe paper on so it wouldn't get all wackadoodle once I started sewing it. 

Time to ruffle away!

Love the finished product of the crepe paper!! So fun, easy and inexpensive!!  

Next I made some paper pom pom's to put on some wood dowel's and then put them in a vase with some peanuts - to go with the theme. Threw a couple pink paper elephants in the vase.  LOVE how it turned out.  Wish I would have gotten some better photo's to show y'all.  Finished it off with a cute brown bow.  

Fun baby shower cake pops!

Cute little baby cake pops for a baby shower.  Found the idea in Bakerella's cake pop book - such an amazing book... if you don't have it... GO GET IT.  Everything is so beautifully done in it I get sensory overload looking all the awesomeness! 

Lilo & Stitch Cake Pops with some Camo Cake Pops!!

I love it when I get a order for cake pops where I get creative freedom!  She let me know her little man had a huge obsession with camouflage but wanted two separate special detailed cake pops for the birthday boy.  Since seeing Bakerella do these Lilo & Stitch pops I have been wanting to give it a try. Absolutely adore how they turned out.  Held it in front of my 4 year old for the true test...

Me: "Who's..." that's all I could get out before Eman started yelling.. "LILO!!"  

Mission complete.

Now for the camouflage lover pops. 

The request was for some army colored green pops with camouflage ribbon.  I knew there had to be a way to make a cake pop look like camouflage itself so I decided to play around and figured out the trick to make it happen!  Yay!  Love how they turned out.

It's about that time again.... girls night :)  Liz and I stopped at Starbucks on our way to Seattle and got ourselves a Cranberry Bliss Bar.... oh my delicious word.  I forgot how good those were!  They were selling a box of them for about $13.  I told Liz I would make her some instead.  Found a recipe that looked like it would compare and boy oh boy did it!  Made it for out girls pottery night since Liz was going to be there.

I should have made them earlier that day so I wasn't as crunched for time.  I could have let them set up more so the cuts would have been crisper.  Didn't change the taste though.... they were ohhhhhh soooooo delicious.

Jenni, Shanon and Hailey.... didn't get a picture of the other ladies... sorry girls!  I was distracted by all the fun.  Speaking of distracted.... check out my ornament below... haha...

I was having so much fun with my ladies I wasn't paying attention each time I was drawing the snowman on it.  Anything you draw in marker will burn off when it gets fired so it won't show up.  I had redrawn it so many times I couldn't see which one was which anymore! hah. Finally I decided to go a different route.

I made one for each of the kiddo's.  One of our little family traditions is we get a new family ornament each year or we each do an individual one.  I love having all my ornaments from my childhood.  Hope my kiddos will love having theirs when they are all grown up :)

The finished products!

Thanks for the fun night ladies! Until next time... :)
