Hey Girlies! Just popping in to say that I'm going to be taking a little blogging break. I'm pretty busy at the moment and rather than push myself any harder, I think I will step away for a bit. Don't worry- I'll be back!

Big hugs to all!

Celebrating all the Fabulous Girls!

First, there is this one: Miss Carmen is an official high school graduate now! Wowie! Look out World, here comes trouble! (yes, my hair is flying down 15th Street! Windstorm 2008 visited Sacramento last night!)

Second, there is Amy! This little darling is the second in my four part series, the Seasonal Birthday Princesses. If you recall, Amelia (below) was the first one. She represented Spring. Amy, with her tanned skin and sunny yellow gingham is the epitome of Summer. I love her yellow rose crown- Carmen said it's her favorite crown that I've made! Anywhooo, sweet Amy, the Summertime Birthday Princess is available now in my shop.

Third, the adorable Blondie from Vintage Primitives is hosting lots of fun giveaways in honor of her Blogiversary! Follow the link below to get in on the lovely goodies!

Hugs to all!

Thank you, Sweet Amanda!

Remember "Pay It Forward"? I had so much fun making my little goodies. All but two of my six recipients will have received their item, and I will be mailing the last two today. But look what Amanda sent to me! I commented on her Pay It Forward post originally and then forgot all about it! I was so flabbergasted when all this beauty came in the mail for me! All the tiny pretties were packed in this amazing antique beaded purse. Isn't it the ultimate in sweet shabby chic? I love it so much!

And there are so many goodies that came with it! I have always wanted one of these ballerina cake toppers and now I have two! And those vintage wooden spools? That's seam binding wrapped around them! I love the way Amanda sealed them off with the tiny circles of art- so adorable. All the bits and bobs are amazing and I had no idea I would receive anything so fabulous! Thank you, thank you! Amanda, you brighten the blog world!
