It's in the Details

My Little girl turned 8. I can't believe how fast time flies. The age of 8 is special in our family because it is the age of which one is baptized a member of our Church.  It is a special time and our little girl is so excited! I wanted to get some cute pictures of her in her lovely White Dress, so my sister Kim helped me and took some amazing pictures! They all turned out so good, I think we had to choose through about 300 or so...haha. Before the picture taking began I made a couple cute little gifts for her.  Every girl loves a little Bling right?!  

You can find this little lovely & other designs in my newish Etsy Shop, (I've had the account for a while and finally ready to fill it up :)) It is interchangeable. Fun!!

I made her a cute white bracelet to match.

At the last minute I made this Hair flower wrapping satin ribbon around a long folded strip of tinfoil and then rolling it up, kind of like Here, that I saved to one of my Pinterest boards. I then added a clippie and a few sparkly beads in the center.  I loved using the tinfoil and ribbon, worked great. 

Of course we painted her some white glitter nails on her fingers and toes, Can't see the toesies to well, but the shoes....Love the shoes! :)

8 Balloons :)

Since I had the beads out I made a few other fun bracelets.  I love me some chunky stretchy bracelets :)

My favorite place to get beads is Firemountain gems and  Artbeads, & you can sometimes find some of the good silver plated beads on Ebay.... in case you were wondering *wink*. 

Sometimes the Little Details can make you feel that much more special on a Special Day. But, the event is definitely the most special part! So proud of our little girl!!

Partying with:

My {when i getter better} To-Do List & Pinterest shout out :)

Still being laid up with just having my Tonsils out & I have been sitting here thinking of all the things I want & need to do when I'm feeling better.  Summer is almost over and it has put me in somewhat of a panic mode. There are still so many projects that are not completed that I had high hopes for completing this summer.

This is what I've been thinking about lately, what I need to do when I'm over this Tonsillectomy thing 

{it's taking FOR..EV..ER}

*My oldest Daughters 8th Birthday & Baptism in less than 2 WEEKS- ideas for party & family get together, awesome gift for her, getting pictures for her announcement (need to be sent ASAP, etc... not much time, yikes!)

*Having more Summer Fun with the kids, games, swimming, crafty fun with them, etc.

*School Shopping

*Date Night with the Hubby

*Craft, Craft, Craft, I wanna craft!!

*Fill up my very Bare Etsy Store (it's looking sad, so many ideas, so little time)

*Let's Play Music preparation/Lesson Plans for the new year, new sign-ups, materials ordered, etc.

*Get back to my Workout Routine

*I had high hopes of getting caught up with my kids' scrapbooks (digital is definitely the way to go in my opinion, but will I ever be caught up?)

*Make my Family blog into a book (or 3 or 4 now since I have been putting it off for years...LOL )

*Get back to my House Cleaning Organization Schedule

*Have a Garage Sale

*Get good at Couponing

*Get back to my Church Jobs (Young Women) & new projects in the works the RS wanted me to be in charge of (fitness related, so excited)

*New Challenge Ideas for Fit Mama Wannabe  What people need to get them motivated??? 

That's whats on my mind, and it's killing me just to feel yucky and lay here, but that's what I should do. Being on pain medication it's hard to do much of anything else. :) So I lay here, and I think of all the stuff I could or should be doing and it's leaving me frustrated and overwhelmed.  But, that's how it goes sometimes, my to-do list is always never ending & gets bigger and bigger.  That's how it is as a mom though right and I seem to add more and more stuff to my plate, so I must like it...haha.  When I'm in a Crunch is sometimes how I work the best. *telling myself* I can do this, I. can. do. this....Just call me Super Mommy....LOL

I gotta mention Pinterest, you may have heard a lot about it lately. It's totally been keeping me entertained a little bit while I've been laid up.  It just adds more projects to the list though....haha.  But, it's so fun & I feel so much better with being able to organize all ideas that I find.  I'm loving it.  You can check out my Pinterest boards  & follow.  I'd love to follow you back.  If you need an invite to Pinterest, leave your email address. I promise you'll love it!!

A few ideas I found from pinterest that I'll be doing soon.

Have a Great Hump Day!
