fun stuff......

This is a gift I made for a lady at work who just became a Grandma, she will be going to see her Granddaughter for the first time in Tennessee on Saturday. I thought I would make her a little something and this is it, a photo album to fill up with lot of cute baby pictures :)

I also included a onesie and a bib that said "I Love Grandma" to top it off :) Sometimes I wish I could scrapbook and make cute gifts for people for a living :)

organization is key......

So Bryan is having a dart tournament for his Birthday on Saturday and I had to come in with some of my exceptional organizational skills!!!!! I was at IKEA the other day and I came across this hanging bucket thing and knew it would be perfect for all of the many dart accessories I have now come to know and it looks pretty cute too!!! Once he put it up he was very pleased as well....this is the life I have come to know on an almost daily basis and so I of course had to put my touch on it.....it will be fun times on Saturday - good food * good friends - thats all you need :)

blah...blah....blah....

i don't really have much to say......but I did want to show off a baby shower gift I made for a shower I am going to this weekend.....it is not the greatest picture. Anyways I love to put together gift baskets when I can....I feel like I do a pretty good job...so I thought I would share....
