Danica Bear

Isn't this bear hat just adorable? My friend, Marcie, whom I've known since High School made it. I love it! She also sent crocheted flower clips. Or is it knitted? I don't know the difference, to be honest. Anyway, we are so blessed to have such sweet friends who spoil Danica with love, prayers and also material items - whether they be clothes, accessories, toys, books... we are just so fortunate to be surrounded with beautiful people. God is so good for blessing us with family and friends who truly care. Thank you, friends, so much! In return, may the good Lord bless you more each day and keep you in His tender, loving care. 

Hello Kitty Girl

My little Danica is super obsessed with Hello Kitty. Can you tell by looking at the photo above? LOL. Anyway, my friend Jackie, who lives in London, got her this super cute long-sleeve dress. It happens to match her old leg warmers and a balloon that Raul bought her last Sunday at Ontario Mills. I'm glad she loves Hello Kitty though... just like her Mommy =)

Hair Clips

Hi, everyone! Many of you have asked for handmade hair clips, so here they are. Great for all ages, as a hair accessory (may also be clipped onto a headband), clothing accessory, great as photo props, and makes a cute gift as well. Perfect for fancy days, chic for casual days.

Throwback Thursday

I love going through my computer and looking at Danica's baby pictures. Here's one from August 2011:

My Little Lady

Danica is now 19 months old. She definitely is growing up too fast. She copies everything I say and do. Whenever I do laundry, I ask her if she wants to help me. She replies, "Yes, Mommy." She then helps me push the hamper from the bedroom to the laundry room. Now here is the fun part for her. Before I could even load the clothes, she tries them on. Yes, she tries to put on the dirty clothes. It's her way of playing dress up, I guess. I don't know... but she has fun going through the dirty laundry.

  

 

First Sale

Yay! My sister, Va, will buy two hair clips from me. Hooray for my first sale. She wants a pink one (which I've already made) and a white one (I still have to make). They are for her cute daughter, Julia, who is 3 years old. I'm sure she'll love them! Here it is on Danica (I clipped three flowers on her because I just love that clustered look). Looks like there's a beautiful, pink Peony on her head.

And don't you just love this pink ombre dress?

TJ Maxx Finds

The other day, I ended up in the Urgent Care because I had a sore throat ... hey, wait a minute, that's a different story. So anyway, after visiting the doctor, Raul took me to TJ Maxx. I love that store! I'm a bargain hunter and I love finding designer items for less. My latest finds are a pair of mustard colored wedges by Aerosoles for $29.99, a floral dress for $19.99 and a pair of sunglasses for $9.99. The shoes are super comfortable and just the perfect color for Spring. It's so hard to find shoes that are stylish and at the same time comfortable. Now that I'm a mom, I have to be careful with what type of shoes I wear. I'm mostly wearing flats and flip-flops, because I'm afraid to walk in high heels while carrying my daughter. I'm afraid I might trip and hurt myself and the baby. To all the moms out there, what type of shoes are you wearing nowadays?

DrawSomething

My facebook friends have introduced me to DrawSomething and I am hooked! If you've never heard of it, it's like Pictionary where you draw something and another person has to guess what the word is. I love those type of games! Anyway, this random person, instead of drawing something for me, she wrote "well" ... and for the longest time I was like, "What is she trying to say?" I couldn't come up with anything. I hit the pass button... and guess what the word is? It's "WELL." Aaaah... pissed me off... why didn't she draw a water well or something? Argh! Ok, that's enough rant. What I really wanted to show you are the shoes I got at TJ Maxx and this turquoise, ornate photo frame. Don't you just love it?

New Shades

I did it! I've replaced my Coach Alicia sunglasses with a pair of Marc Jacobs. I had my Coach sunglasses since 2007 (when I worked at Prime Eye Care in Phoenix, AZ) and kept it in good condition. For four years, I wore it almost every day. My eyes are very sensitive to sunlight and I need sunglasses when driving during the day time. I purchased a cheap pair from Nordstrom ($20) just to give the Coach a little break, but I always go back to wearing them. It really is an irreplaceable pair. Then I noticed that most of my pictures taken outdoors are of those with the same pair on, from 2007-2011. So, I did it... I replaced my Coach... and to make sure I'll never go back to them, I sold them on Ebay for $41.50. It was the hardest decision I've ever made because I really love that pair and Marina gave me a good deal on them, but I just had to let it go or else I'll wear 'em until I lose or break 'em. So, farewell Alicia! And hello Marc!

By the way, this is my 100th post. Yippeee!!!! Oh, and this is three days in a row for 2012. I'm on a roll =)

Here's one of many pictures with my Coach Alicia sunglasses on:

Here's my new pair of Marc Jacobs:

I got it at Nordstrom Rack for $38, but only paid $13 because my Dad gave me a $25 gift card.

P.S.
To my friend, Marina:
I got your Christmas card in the mail yesterday.
Thank you =D

To Diane aka "Princess Diane"
I miss you! And thanks for reading my blah, blah, blah... I mean, blogs =D
