Cloth Diaper - Burp Cloths

Look at these cute burp cloths made out of cloth diapers. I got some of these from Jami C. for my baby shower and fell in love with them. So, this is my favorite thing of the day. All you do is get cloth diapers from Wal-Mart, buy some cute matching ribbon, and sew strips of the ribbon onto the cloth diaper. I like using the cloth diapers for burp cloths anyway because they are more absorbent. So I guess if you have to carry around a yucky burp cloth you might as well spice it up with some cute ribbon.

Believe it or not, I have 2 boys!

You are all familiar with my daughter Georgia. Well believe it or not I have two boys as well. And I do love them just as much. Here are some pictures of them:

Dallin and Conner, here is a rare moment of brotherly love!

Conner and his new lego creation.

More to come on these two trouble makers!

Yankees!

Favorite's Challenge #1

WIN THIS BOOK!

So, I've decided to do something fun to keep people motivated to visit my blog. Every once in a while I am going to have a "Favorite's Challenge." Here is how it works - I make up the rules and can change them whenever I want!
Challenge number one - What is your favorite book? I am part of a book club and will be hosting the club at my house one month this year. I need to come up with a book to assign everyone to read. Here is what I need you to do - send me a post telling me about your favorite book and why. I will pick the book I think sounds most interesting and choose it for my book club. Whoever's book I choose will receive a copy of my favorite book, which is These is my Words by Nancy E. Turner. Yes you will get a book from me, is that motivation enough to comment on my blog? I hope so!
I'm doing this because I'd love to learn more about my friends and family and what you all are interested in. Hope to hear from you all soon! Oh yeah, the challenge starts now and ends April 5, 2008 at 10:00 PM. Good luck!

Finished Baby Bows Doll

Well here she is - the doll I made for Georgia. I think she turned out pretty cute and she was easy to make. She fits into newborn size clothes which is great because I am not a good enough sewer to make doll clothes. Tell me what you think!

Sour Cream Cup Party Favors

Here is my favorite thing for the day: Sour Cream Cup Party Favors

I learned how to make these at my friend Juanelle's house. Once a month I go to her house for a Stampin' Up scrapbook club. We learn how to make cute cards and other fun things like this sour cream cup party favor. You can fill it with candy and use it for party favors for bridal showers or baby showers. You can use is for handouts at church or for visiting teaching. You can also use it as gift wrap for small gifts. It's so easy to make, here's how:

1. Cut patterned paper to 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

2. On back side of patterned paper use double sided tape as seen below in red. Roll side A over to side B to form a tube.

3. Squeeze one end of the tube together and fill with candy or gift.

4. Squeeze the other end of the tube together.

5. Use a paper crimper to crimp each end of the tube.

6. Add a cute tag.

Voila, you are done!
This project is fast, easy and so cute!
Tell me what you think.

Baby Bows Doll

I've never "blogged" before, so here is the beginning of my pathetic effort to blog. I thought it would be fun to post a few of my favorite things. Today I discovered an adorable pattern for a doll. I thought I'd make one for my sweet baby Georgia in hopes that one day when she is a little older than 6 months she will play with it. I ordered some fabric online at Doll Makers Ink to make the doll. I am not a great sewer but this pattern looks simple enough to make. Once I receive the material and make the doll I will post a picture of her. Here is a picture of the doll from the website so you can see what she looks like. One side of her head, her eyes are open. On the other side of her head, her eyes are closed. Cute, huh!?

Well, this is my first post and hopefully more to come.
