Hi Everyone!

Remember me? Ha! Well I am back! I have been cuddling with my baby boy and I could not be happier. For some reason I thought i would have more time to craft because I wasn't working but I felt bad not spending time with him when he was awake and when he was sleeping I was cleaning bottles, washing clothes and Pumping... TMI? Sorry!

Well I am excited to be back and crafting again I am going to try and dedicate one day to crafting every week. I am also excited to share with you my Pink by Design Project. If this is your first time here this is how it works. I will show you a sneak peak here and you can head over to the Pink by Design blog to check out my full project and all the details!

Baby Jude

Hi everyone! I bet you are wondering where I have been...and what I have been up to?  We welcomed Baby Jude into the world at 4:12pm on July 19- and life has been so beautifully busy since then.  He weighed 8lb 3oz and was 21 inches long.

 I am trying to keep up the best I can, though I kept help but want to snuggle this precious baby all day long.  I did stop today, in between feedings, to do some Pink by Design shopping during their FLASH SALE.

Flash FACEBOOK SALE! 22% OFF ALL ORDERS OVER $25, and get a Free Stamp set with purchases over $75

So, what are you waiting for? Come shop with me :)
