More fun etsy finds...

Yes... you are staring at AWESOME hand painted wooden drawer pulls/knobs. My Mom sent me this site where I came across tons of adorable and colorful knobs and I instantly wanted to re paint my sons' drawer pulls... and no... still haven't gotten around to it... But you can find these cute pulls here
SweetMixCreations


I need these bright ones for my craft room!!!
How seriously cute, huh? Makes me want to buy a TON of these and just play!!
And ahhhhhhhhh...... such color in the following pictures....
These fun rainbow labels are made by this lovely lady
TomKatStudio
Plus I just wanted to post that very fun and colorful party theme... Reminds me of my scrapbook room. Always makes me smile...
And here we have something that I wish I had a newborn for.... but maybe the monster theme is more apt for my 5 and 8 year old. Still think it is a very cute monster mobile... love handmade little things.
This can be found here Carrot Fever
Did I also mention that they have TONS of other themes that are just too adorable? I think they are very cute gift ideas for the expecting mothers in our lives...

And that is all the enabling I will do today... I am bored (at work...shhhh....don't tell) and wanted to share the handmade awesomeness of these shops with you. Hope you enjoyed!!

Fun etsy find...

I have some Martha Stewart pom poms in my room for decoration and totally wish I found this site a little sooner... although... I may have to add some colors to my already bright ones. Check out all of the colors in the chart above. Such an easy and cheap way to spruce up a room or a party. Just love it!! You can find these yummy things here:

Caramel Apples

OK.... so my super sweet, super talented baking friend, Sheri led me to this site. I just had to post it here to share this site's awesome and super fun recipes.... So far I haven't come across a recipe that I DON'T want to try.... unless it has coconut in it.... I just don't "do" coconut in any form. I truly think I might be allergic to it... even the smell of it. UGH... So here is the site:
Grin and Bake It
Let me know if you try any of her recipes!!!

To dress Molly up...or not to dress....

It all started with this costume... Molly as Yoda? Swwwweeeeeet!


Then it led to this funny costume.... plus the dog kinda looks like Molls....
Then it was allllll downhill from there.... I found a poor dog dressed like Freddie Kruger...
Then I came upon this poor thing... And then.... then.... this pathetic little caterpillar popped up on my screen. This is somehow become a new favorite Halloween pastime for me....
I think I will leave Molly be for this year.... or should I embarrass her?
