so sweet...

I spotted the sweetest christmas gift for a little girl ever by lily and thistle......
A paper doll customized to look like your baby girl...
You can even order a CD so you can print the doll out as many times as she wants....




Adorable...

spruced up for Thanksgiving...

Our front entry was looking a little sad this weekend...
Our pumpkins were still out.. (Thanks for the cool bling pumpkin kits Aunt Bonnie!) and all my plants died this summer..
 so I de-blinged the pumpkins and got this metallic spray paint...
and now it looks ready for Thanksgiving....
