little family announcement...

It's a girl!

due 03.17.2012

Happy Halloween!

Princess? ...no

Ballerina? ...no

Fairy? ...no

my little miss schmutz wanted to be something scary for Halloween this year. So a scary kitty it was.

This might be due to the fact that most of her friends are boys... but it might not be either. She has  

embraced Halloween and all of it's spooky, scariness like none other 3 year old. It has fast become the most enjoyable holiday we have had this year. 

...and it's not over yet! She doesn't even know there is candy involved.

Happy Trick or Treating!

Trick or Treat...

can you believe its almost time for Halloween?

eek! My daughter has been on my case about finishing her costume ever since we started it last week. Mind you, not that she is excited to trick or treat, she just wants another dress hanging in her closet just waiting to be worn.

This year I really debated if I should design a Halloween themed kit or not. I am not a spooky type, nor am I a really cute and cuddly type. So I had to figure out something in between - but I am very happy with the results! This kit is not only for Halloween, but could easily be used for numerous autumn activities (minus the spider web papers)

It releases today... so go and grab it 30% off!

And, if you still aren't sure... check out the amazing inspiration.

especially all the hybrid projects!!!
