the perfect day

It's been while.. its not that I don't have anything to say, its the fact of being way too busy and there not being enough minutes in the day to do everything that needs to be done. Unfortunately blogger has been lower on my priority list.

So lets catch up!

My baby girl turned 5 last week. I have been insanely busy with custom orders. I have been making some new photog friends and doing some fun trades. I am so close to having a new logo and then will be working on branding. AND today was the most perfect Mother's Day!

Lets run through my day...

1. I didn't wake up until 8am
2. I woke up to two sweet little voices wishing me a happy mother's day.
3. I didn't have to make breakfast, I was SERVED it.
4. I didn't have to change ONE poopy diaper.
5. BOTH kids took a nap.
6. Played in the sand at the beach.
7. Didn't have to make dinner, but ate a delicious one.
8. Had ice cream for dessert.
9. My hubby is cleaning out my car as I type this:)
10. I finally got a picture of me and the kiddos!
11. Spent the entire day with the three most important people of my life, xoxoxoxo!

Here are a few pictures from my amazing day:)

SALE TONIGHT!!

So I have quite a few OOAK pieces that I've created over the past few months and TONIGHT I am going to have either a bidding sale or first comment first serve sale (I haven't decided yet) on over 15 different creations.. mostly hats/beanies but there are a few SUPER cute headbands! Please share the news, it will start tonight at 8PM (EST) on my FACEBOOK page, so please come hang out with me for a bit this evening and have some fun shopping! See you tonight!!! xoxo, Megan
