Diaper Cake!

So a few weeks ago we held a baby shower for a girl in our church. She's super sweet and has been through a lot of hard times but seems to really be trying to get her life back on track! My mother in law, Tiffany and I worked really hard to make it perfect for her!

Sometimes I feel like there's no better way to show someone Christ's love than to spoil them rotten! he he! YES I know that this is not always the best option but sometimes it works! :)

Here are a few pictures from the shower... Baby Tayla Faye was born 2 weeks prior to the shower so she's also included! :)Dawn from Kiki La Ru sent this precious cake bunting to us as the sweetest gesture to show her support for this young mother as well! Not the greatest pictures BUT it looked precious!!! And as you'll see below I put the cake bunting on top of the diaper cake after I finished it at home just to add some height and if I had two of the buntings I totally would have left it! So ladies not only can you use Dawn's buntings for your edible cakes they are super presh on diaper cakes! :)

Here is the name banner I made for the shower and Tayla now has it in her bedroom at home for decoration! I sell these on my Etsy! Check them out!

My fellow crafter and dear friend Tiffany made 4 precious diaper cupcakes to go on cake stands in the center of each table! LOVE!

My very first diaper cake completed! ^

We had so much fun putting this all together and our next project is a wedding shower for my Brother in law and his fiance'! It's this Saturday so my goal will be to put up pictures sometime next week! Maybe sooner if ya'll get lucky! :) Woo hoo! I'm enjoying blogging again!

Great day!

Today started the first day of our mission's month! We had a church wide prayer breakfast to pray for all of our missionaries! :)

Afterwards Avery and I went with Sheldon's Mom and dad to Tampa for a consignment sale! Granny found out I was going to she snuck a few bucks into our account so I could get some Summer clothes for Ave :) she's precious! Really missing my family in Texas this past week... It's hard when you don't have plans for the next time you'll see each other. Airline prices sky rocketed for us over their spring break which is preventing us from neon able to plan something! Working on a few Orders this next week, trying to get some things done before Avery and I leave for Springfield for my dear friend Carrie's wedding :) hopefully I can post some pictures in the next few days of what I'm accomplishing! :) happy Sunday y'all! Hope each of you have a good church home you attend and are being fed regularly! If you need a good boost check out the Proverbs 31 Women's blog... I love love love their daily devotions! :)

Working hard!

 Well last time I posted I claimed that I was back to blogging and I apparently was lying lol :) 

I got pretty busy getting things accomplished for the Christmas Markets I was apart of and slacked off yet again... More recently I was preparing for a girl's conference I was asked to speak at in Louisville, Ohio! I had such a great time and it was truly an amazing experience to speak to that many girls! I am extremely passionate about total purity in girls lives so that session came naturally for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it! :) Here are a few pictures from the weekend!

In the coming weeks I will be posting pictures of some recent orders I've had! 

Thanksgiving

It's been way too long but I should probably start this up again because I always enjoy it! :) Here are a few photos from Thanksgiving! :) Enjoy!
Thanksgiving day was absolute bliss... I was nervous for various reasons but as ALWAYS God totally worked every single aspect out! :) I had a real chance to get to know my soon to be sister in law and it was so awesome getting to just hang out with her! We found out we have more in common than we thought so that was fun!

This weekend is our 2nd Christmas Market as "A Very Southern Belle" I have ten orders just from facebook so after this weekend we hope to open our very own Etsy! :) God is opening so many doors for me and I'm thoroughly excited about what He has for us!

SEWING!

Well, for forever I've been talking about finally taking my Singer Prelude out of the box that it's sat in for 2 1/2 years and finally I did it last night! I've already made two things! I'm so excited about them! :) I'm not too fantastic since I haven't sewed since high school (almost 7 years ago) :)
The END... not sure what I will tackle next but I'd really like to find some sweet fabric while I'm at HOME at Hobby Lobby so that I can make either a convertible car seat cover or even a diaper bag!!!! :)
