lou + you

my etsy shop is up and running.

it is a little scary putting my creations out there for others to see. i hope the effort is worth the while. i have many more ideas of things i would like to add.. but i'm not getting ahead of myself.

if you know anyone with young kiddoes... or maybe looking for some custom artwork... holla atcha girl.

...........................

being a stay-at-home momma is such a blessing. i wish i could do it all year. i am so happy that i am able to watch noah grow and learn new things.

as of 5 months (technically 3.5...) he can roll over, almost sit up on his own, stand for really really really long periods of time, stand up holding on to something, smile, laugh, + "talk" by copying me or daddy.

He makes my heart gush + my cheeks hurt from smiling.
my love for him is truly endless.



and his hair is starting to turn brown too.

i win :)

I'm back!

After a 10 months hiatus (whooops), I've decided to get back into the blogging world. Mostly to share photos of the little man with family... but also to network as I begin to get my Etsy shop up and running.

As requested, here are the latest photos of NBT. He is 3 months old now and we can't believe it. He is really starting to become an active little guy. He can smile and coo and we love it. He also is so fidgety (like his old man) and can stand up and hop around for a decent amount of time. I think a "jumparoo" is on our purchase list soon.

3 months old!

Thanks for having me back. I hope you stay a while!

Photo Post

As promised, this post will be dedicated to a bunch of photos I have been too busy(lazy) to post! I apologize for the randomness:

My first attempt at a product for ETSY! I do not have a shop yet... and am in desperate need of your creative minds to help me think of a name... These are korker bows. The packaging isn't finalized either, but boy do I LOVE my martha stewart scalloped border punch :)

Here is a SNEAK PEEK of our STD's (duh... save the dates). For the love of the lord, I WILL mail them THIS WEEKEND! If you are cool enough (which you probably are), it should be arriving sometime next week...fingers crossed

the postcards: addressed and sorted

This is my momma's arm showing off 100, yesssss 100, personalized matchboxes for the reception. They were so easy, CHEAP, and cute (if I do say so myself).
Thanks mom for all the help!

(yes, Abbie, that is an official Rachel Ray "garbage bowl." Who knew my mom was so hip?)

Here is my crazed "I LOVE MY GOCCO SOOOO MUCH AND CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS FINALLY HERE!!" face :)

too bad it still looks like this: sad and alone, in the box...waiting to be used in all of its glory! I do have a coaster project I am going to start soon...

and here are two of the COOLEST halloween costumes ever, who just happened to win a cash prize at Frickers on Halloween. I think it is about time for JT to start agreeing with everything I suggest...because I OBVIOUSLY know what I am talking about :)


PARTY ON WAYNE---SCHHHAAAWINNG!
