New Camera, Tutorials, And A Winner!

Never have I been so excited about a gift!! Hubby did really good this year! My sweet in-laws also chipped in to get me my new baby! Yes, this is me and my birthday present! Don't we look good together?:) I think we are a perfect fit! We will from now on never be apart, I will always have you around my neck, ready to shoot at a moments notice! Now that you have met my third child, here are a few projects I have been up to lately. Jen at Tatertots and Jello amazes me constantly with her creativity and ideas. She recently gave a tutorial on how to make amazing tassels out of burlap! As soon as I saw them I grabbed my laptop and went to my creating center and followed her step by step! I had everything on hand, no trips to Hobby Lobby to make this, and I plan on making tons more!! Thanks Jen!
My daughters of course had to join in, and my 7 year old asked if I would PLEASE post the tassel she made, so here is my daughters version of Jens tassels!


Tidy Mom is another blog that I love and follow! So many wonderful tips and amazing ideas! She recently posted a tutorial on how to make these adorable candy corn cookies! I have now made these for my daughters birthday party, for a church activity day, and for 2 classroom parties! They are a hit, and really easy! Make these and your kids, their classmates, and friends will think you are the coolest mom ever!

And last but not least, we have a winner for the amazing Vinyl Silhouette giveaway!!! We had a huge response, and can't wait to have some more fun giveaways in the future. Vinyl silhouettes is an amazing company and we are proud to have them as our sponsor! And the winner is.....................................

    Okay, I really want to know more about your camera. I would love to get a camera that takes better pictures without me necessarily knowing how to be a better photographer. Right now we just have a dinky digital camera (you know, the little rectangle kind) and I'd love to upgrade, but I wouldn't even know where to start. So, what kind of camera do you have? Do you feel like you need to know very much about different kinds of lenses and settings to take wonderful pictures with your camera? I would love to know. Thanks!

    Hello Most Enchanting One! Oh, I love your blog and you get the golden star for the most wonderful makeovers! I've scrolled to the beginning of your blog!
    Oh, we lived in New Mexico for ten years and our two children grew up there. What a beautiful state.
    I'll be back. You're so full of inspiration and I'm glad I found you!
    Be a sweetie,
