whew!!! it has been a whirlwind 'round here...
we had tater's birthday bash on saturday & we all had such a great time...but like always, when you are the host of the party, the party goes so fast & you feel like you never got to talk to all the people you wanted to talk to & you want to just kick back & relax but you've gotta get the food out & the limes for the coronas & the plates for the ice cream cake & then **poof** the party is over & you are like...."wow! well THAT was fun!"
well...it was :)
here is a couple of my fave pics of the day of tater & her big birthday cake from our favorite local ice cream shop
needless to say...the cake was a big hit :)
so...now i've got the birthday party under my belt, my next big thing is CHA!!!!!!!!!!!! whoooooo hooooo!!!! i'm beyond excited to see all my fashionista and online friends....i'm like a kid on Christmas nowadays gearing up for my big adventure...soooo much to do before i get on that plane it is ridiculous...but somehow the important stuff will get done & the not so important stuff will just have to wait...such is life as it should be, i say :)
& i totally forgot to post my simplicity project from onelittleword....THIS was fun :) i used lots of the toby line from love elsie on this which completely surprised me....i'm really loving that line right now & it totally didn't catch my eye first off, which is weird, but it's all byegones, b/c now i'm in love w/ love else...lol!!!
but i'm sure it will be a short affair since i should be getting some candytown in my mailbox very very soon.....WOW....have you even SEEN this new collection?????? UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! i'm getting a sugar rush just THINKIN' about it...LOL and our guest designer for august is going to be one of my all time favorites ever ever EVER!! amber skolnick....holy moly....we are in for some GOOD TIMES, my friends...GOOD TIMES :)
and to top all of this goodness off, i've been tagged by breanne as a rockin' blogger (shhhh....don't tell her i've been really bad at updating lately :)
& i'm gonna pass it on to some of my favorite down under posse :)
