I could get into sooooo much trouble with this website! It's a good thing the store is all the way in NYC or I might be tempted to go there also. This is by far the cutest children's line I have seen, though a bit on the pricey side, but I just had to share;-) Check out the boys line as well as the girls. Both are equally adorable...Just click on the title to the post and it'll take you to the site. Enjoy!!

WebMusic

Hey ya'll! Since I don't consider myself to be very "in the know" when it comes to all things web related, I am always hesitant to post new things that I've learned. Then I start to think about all the things that I wouldn't have learned if someone didn't share them with me. So, what the heck. I've finally figured out how to add a free playlist to my blog. If you'll click on the title to this post it will take you to the website and its pretty self explanatory. They have all varieties of music and the best thing is that its FREE! You can make as many playlists as you like and then you just click on the sidebar where it says "generate code", then select which type of post you will be making, then copy the code. That will let you post it to your blog or website. Good luck and have fun!
P.S. You can see mine at the bottom of the blog...

Modern Handmade Child

Okay, so I was surfing the web today and found a great new site. It was actually featured in Time.com's 50 Best Websites 2009. Some of you may already know of it but for those of you who don't, let me enlighten you! Nowadays everyone is trying to find ways to be a little "greener", right? Well this avenue not only allows for that, but it is also extremely cost efficient...these are online magazines so no wasted paper or materials and no subscription costs to boot! In my book its a total winner. If you will click on the title of this post, it will take you to the crafty handmade magazine that I found, but if your interests lie elsewhere, you can just go to www.issuu.com. They offer a ton of choices. You're sure to find one that suits your interests! Happy searching!

Michael's and Martha

Hey ya'll! There's a new coupon in the Michael's weekly flyer for 25% off all Martha Stewart craft items whether on sale or regular price! You can go to www.michaels.com and look up the weekly flyer if you don't subscribe to it already. The coupon is good for next week, 8/30 - 9/5. They rarely put out additional coupons for the Martha Stewart items so this is a pretty good deal. If you haven't tried the new Martha Stewart punch around the page punches, then this would be a good excust to get one (or more!). There are some really cute ones for Halloween and Fall. I had a little trouble at first trying to figure out the dimensions to get the punch to work out just right, but then I found the size guide at www.marthastewartcrafts.com. In case you need it too, here is a link (http://www.marthastewartcrafts.com/marthacrafts/loops_howto.pdf) and a video. Happy shoppin' and happy scrappin'!

Under Construction

This is a new blog and is currently under construction...I would love to have you visit me later, when everything is up and running! Meanwhile, if you'd like to see some great new pics of my sweet babies (I refuse to call them "kids" yet - not ready to admit they're growing up too fast:-) then just take a look at this and visit the photographer's website if you'd like to see more of her work. It's www.vkp.me. I'm also going to run a slideshow on my sidebar. Thanks for stopping by!
