*love dogs?*

{then you've got to watch this....i laughed at so many parts in this video...reminds me of my pup...arden. the video is from sharon montrose...an amazing photographer/artist that i've showcased before on my blog...i just ADORE her photography of animals....

check out her shop here.}

{it's friday once again...seems like the weeks are just flying by! i hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!}

*don't miss out...*

{this saturday is the ICE Holiday Shopping Spectacular!! i'm so excited...my aunt and i are going together...usually i'm a vendor at the shows and i don't get to walk around with her...for the first time we can look at all the goodies together...can't wait to get my shopping on!}

*light in the dark*

{love this...so so pretty....makes me excited to put up our christmas lights outside...found here.}

*sloppy eaters?*

{more bibs being added to the shop this week...don't worry...more boy bibs to be added soon too!! stay tuned!}

*thrown into the mix*

{another project that's been added to the "to do" list. this butterfly wreath is going to be auctioned off at the Decatur Holiday Marketplace...it's of course not finished..it's going to be painted and that isn't it...i have some ideas up my sleeve on how to incorporate some patterns to those poor bare butterflies...hopefully my ideas work out and the wreath will be auction ready by the 4th of december...wish me luck!}

*look what i won!*

{i entered a giveaway on bkids last week...for this party package from Vintage Paper Parade ...and I won it! it's 30 cards, envelopes, tags and cupcake toppers! isn't it cute? gosh...now i'm going to have to plan a party! hehe....so excited that i won!}

*ribbon badge tutorial*

{hey...check out designing moms's website for the "make" on this ribbon badge i created. it's perfect for birthday parties...but can be used for adding some personalization to a gift... i thought these would be neat just to dress up a shelf, bulletin board, put in a frame to hang on the wall...oh there's a lot you can do with these...have fun!}

*fresh picks*

{just some new fabrics that i picked up...i'm in love with the hot pink and blue fabric on the left...the polka dot and gingham will become bows...i think..we'll see.}

*mimi..molly..daisy..ginger*

{okay...these dolls are just way too cute and their little friends just kill me...too sweet! my favorites are mimi and daisy. feeling crafty? you can buy the kits to create these precious dolls and get this...the kit includes their sweet little friends too! check them out at the red thread...great for Christmas Gifts or Stocking Stuffers!!!!}

*no more red snowflakes*

{as of right now...this shirt is NO longer available. i am so bummed! the fabric that i use for the boy's snowflake is discontinued and NO ONE has any left. i've read online that amy butler is having it reprinted because it's so popular...but it won't be available until the end of this month. i have preordered some...so i'm hoping i get it before the holiday season is over! this shirt is very popular this season and i hate that i have to remove it from my shop!! Sorry!!! if you are interested in this shirt...let me know and i can let you know as soon as i get some more fabric! email me at plumtreestudio@gmail.com.}

*walking on clouds*

{something else came early....a Christmas gift!! i got a new pair of slippers! well they are a little different then your typical slippers. i saw these at the gap store this weekend and knew they needed to come home with me. b had me try one on in the store...big mistake...after trying them on...i so badly wanted to walk around the mall in them. my feet are always cold..no matter if i have socks on or if they are under the covers...they are cold. these new slippers have solved that problem...no more cold feet! looking for new slippers..try these on...they might be what you are looking for!!}

*the little one came early...*

{i wanted to congratulate my friends stacey and joe on the birth of their precious baby boy! he was born on saturday (my sister's birthday)...a little early (her due date was the 8th of december). we are so beyond excited for them!!}

{we are also very excited because their little one will be similar in age to our little one (when we bring him or her home next year)!! so little c will have little j to play and grow up with!!}

{stone by monkey's jewels}

*it's your day!*

little early to help set up...}

{the hive's manager, mrs. malene davis (lani to me) and myself. i was so excited to finally get our picture! luckily we took this before the party started! lani and i have been friends since day one. lani-girl is an amazing person to have as a friend. she's like a book of knowledge you want to keep in your back pocket...i try to be a sponge and soak up whatever she throws my way. she has been such an enormous help to me and my company....she's my lani-girl!}

{we couldn't go without a shot of me by my booth...i have since updated and changed things around....hehe}

{the food and dessert set up was amazing. i couldn't eat a whole lot due to some medications...but the items i did have were wonderful! the cupcakes pictured above were from our fellow beehiver, pink butterfly sweet shop...they are actually delivered fresh every day at the beehive! oh and they were gone by the night was done! not surprised! this way too cute cake pictured above...was created by another fellow beehiver...jacqeline sanchez
just for the party!}

{the event was so much fun. being able to talk with other designers and meet their husbands was a real treat! b and i left the party right before it ended...we were so glad we could be apart of the beehive's celebration! Happy 5th Year Beehive!!!}
