Fabulous Favorite Friday

Happy Friday everyone! The sun is finally shining here and we are ready for the weekend. I'm not a football fan, but Super Bowl Sunday is fun to get together with family and friends to be together. It is always fun to see what kind of dishes everyone brings. And I enjoy seeing what kind of creative commercials come out during the game.


My Fabulous Favorite Friday pick are a few things today. I was at Michael's last night and picked up these goodies. For those of you scratching your head, the four gray colored items are called chipboard books. They are mini scrapbooking albums and come in these fun shapes. Michael's has them right now for $1 a piece. You can cover them with scrapbooking paper and put your pictures on them. The two smaller items to the right of the picture are a cupid paper punch and then the other item is a roller which when applied to your paper, I think says "I love you". Mine is upstairs and I'm going from memory on what it rolls out. They were only $1 also.

If you have kids, I was thinking that the heart albums would make cute favors for them to give to friends for Valentine's Day. Right now Target has packs of Valentine's paper in the scrapbooking section, so you could do a bag with this album and a pack of paper. If you only have a few kids to buy for then you could easily make little scrapping kits with $5 worth of different products.

I love the different shapes of these albums. They make fun little coffee table books. They come with about 5 different pages and have a little metal ring which helps hold them together.

Give Away Time!
I'm going to hold you in suspense all weekend, but I will tell you that starting Monday I'm going to be doing a fabulous give away. It is for such a cool product, you've got to come back to check it out.

Have a great weekend!

Target Love

Happy Wednesday everyone! The weather is so crummy here. It is cold and rainy. At least if it was going to e crummy weather to prevent us to go outside, we'd like to see some pretty snow flakes.

Today I thought I'd share two of my recent Target finds. The first are these cute pair of cleaning gloves. They were only a dollar in the dollar spot. They had another pair too which I believe were some kind of blue pattern. I love this cheery lime green and pink combo. It is so girly. I thought they were so cute. I might as well try to look chic while cleaning the bathrooms. Forget the June Cleaver pearls and heels, get yourself a cute pair of gloves. With Valentine's Day coming up, these would be a fun, inexpensive thing to give a friend. Show some glove love to your hands and your friend's hands.





My second Target find were these Wellington boots. I bought these about 2 weeks ago. I've had my eye on them for a while and figured I'd take a chance to see if they would go on clearance and they did. They were originally $24 and they marked them down to $12. I loved this pair because I knew they would look cute with lots of different outfits. Since we get primarily rain and not tons of snow, I figured these would be a good thing to have. I wore them out last night for girl's night out. They kept my feet dry and they weren't too hot. My jeans were able to tuck in them comfortably (notice the adjustable straps on the sides). So, I highly recommend them.

They also had another pair of these boots that had different hearts all over them. They were really cute too.

I hope things are going well in your part of the world. Have a happy hump day!

Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Birthday!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! I love the ox that they've got on Yahoo's website. That is so cute. I think I may tell my husband I want him to pick up Chinese food on the way home. I was at Party City recently and they had cute Chinese New Year decorations. One day I'll have a CNY party. By the way, over on the Alpha Mom website they have a cute Chinese Lanter project you can do. http://www.alphamom.com/holiday/2009/01/celebrate_chinese_new_year_wit_1.php

I'm also excited CHA has started this week. Lots of cool new scrapbooking things to check out. And Making Memories is celebrating on their blog. Good stuff. http://www.makingmemories.typepad.com/



If you read the title of my post, it says Happy Birthday. And that is because my sweet little niece, Harper was born Saturday evening. Here I am holding the little princess.

Unfortunately my sister had to have an emergency c-section, but everything turned out great and she and baby Harper are doing well.

Harper weighed 6 pounds 13 ounces. She beat her cousin Logan by 2 ounces, but she was 18 inches long and he was 20 and 1/2 inches long when he was born. She feels so light compared to holding him now that he is 12 pounds. I can't wait to get them together and take a picture of them side by side on a blanket. It is hard to believe Logan will be 3 months old on Thursday. Time is flying by!

It is so neat seeing so much pink and head bands and bling. I got to visit with them for a long time yesterday. It was fun seeing my sister pull out a hair brush to brush Harper's hair and putting a head band on her. It is like a little Barbie come to life. We loved playing dress up with them when we were little.

So welcome to the world sweet Harper. Aunt Shelly can't wait to bake cookies and play Barbies with you!
