GNO- Designer Blvd.

If ever there was a Heaven on Earth...it would have to be Designer Blvd. I get giddy just walking through the doors. It's a place that has beautiful and unique home decor, fun clothes and jewelry. oh! and I can't forget their baby boutique. The owner is an interior decorator who wanted to bring the fine treasures that were available to her to the masses, ie:me.
A white damask pattern over a light blue wall, green and pink floral arrangements with matching whimsical throw pillows, ornate tables and mirrors and rustic chunky frames decorated with metal flowers and jewels all greet you when you walk in. *sigh*. If only I had a million dollars. What? What's that you say. THEY'RE HAVING A SALE!!! Giving prizes, discounts and even dinner!! That's right! Every second Thursday of the month they do a Girl's Night Out! Today they're having homemade fry bread ...mmmm....Well, I know what I'm having for dinner (sorry, honey...you get pizza tonight). The prizes and discounts are all day, but the dinner is at 6pm.
Their address is:
4895 S. Higley Rd. Suite 103
Gilbert, AZ 85298
(It's on the South East corner of Higley and Queen Creek)

And to top it off , I have a brooch from there to give away!! Tie a ribbon around a candle and pin it on top, put it on a throw pillow, or wear it on your lapel or in your hair. It's so pretty!

Bloomers Winner!

So far this year has been quite eventful and we're only 2 weeks into it! My sister's husband was deployed (he's in the Navy) for six months, so she moved next to me so her in-laws and I could help her out when she needed it and the cousins could be close. Well, the first weekend in January, her 2 year old son had to be hospitalized for pneumonia and then the second weekend in January, her 2 week old daughter was admitted to the hospital for RSV (we're hoping she gets to go home tonight or tomorrow). I've been watching her boys, and I love it! It's a bit tiring, but it's been fun, too. Needless to say, I've been neglecting the blog, which is sad because I have a lot to give away!

So let the give aways begin!!
First things first: The bloomers (I was hoping for 15, but 10 will do)

The winner is:
Brenda!!
e-mail me with the waist measurment, from waist to crotch, and then from waist to just above the knee. I'll also need your address.

I took some pictures last Monday of a grandpa and his grandchildren.




I also took some of her niece who was turning 12.

Bloomers and a Give Away!

I don't mind that little Miss is tall for her age. I do, however, mind it when that means her favorite dress (okay, let's be honest, my favorite dress) is quickly becoming inappropriate! Week after week, I'm finding this is the case with all of her dresses. So, in order to remedy this situation...I've decided to bring bloomers back. You heard me. Little house on the prairie, your great granny used to wear, old school bloomers...and I love them!

I'm thinking that there are a lot of other mothers out there in the same situation, so I'm thinking about making this into a give away! Leave a comment if you want me to make your little girl a pair of bloomers, or if you know of anybody who needs them for their little girl. Think about it...no more embarrassing can-can moments at church!

Drumroll Please!!

I'll stop by your house sometime this week with all 3 so you can pick your favorite one!

Thanks for playing everybody! I'll have a new drawing tomorrow!

Merry Christmas

Lullaby, lullaby, my little one.
Lullaby, my child so dear.
Thy precious life has just begun
Thy mother holds thee near.

While Joseph watches through the night,
A star reflects thy radiant light.
Lullaby, lullaby, my little one.
Lullaby, my child so dear.

Thy gentle head shall wear a crown,
For thy father is the King.
Thy tender hands so tiny now,
Have blessings great to bring.

Let all creation join my song,
For peace and love this night are born.
Lullaby, lullaby, my little one.
Lullaby, my child so dear.

May we all remember the true meaning of Christmas.
