Mailbox Monday

While I was out of town for Thanksgiving, the cutest little thing got popped into my mailbox!


This is an I-Spy bag that I got for Evren for Christmas. It's a cute little bag with a clear window that he can look into ans see all sorts of neat little things. When he gets older, he can use the list to search for things specifically. It's loads of fun, and I had to steal it away from Mehlynn (to look at it myself, of course). There is even a set of beads with the letters of his name!

Visit The Diaper Cake Factory here. http://diapercakefactory.etsy.com/ Not only does DeAndra have these adorable little I-Spy bags, she also makes beautiful diaper cakes which are awesome, useful, and unique gifts for baby showers. I've made several diaper cakes for showers I've gone to, and we'll just say that the *cough* effort was really appreciated. DeAndra's are beautiful though!

Also, I wanted to mention this awesome giveaway I found at Cinnamon Sticks Boutique... click on the button on my sidebar ("Twelve Days of Christmas" Giveaway) or go to http://cinnamonsticksboutique.blogspot.com for details. there is tons of pretty jewelry and other cute items to be won!

Mailbox Monday

My newest arrival was these lovely bookmarks from Hubgirl at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5161851

I got the initial one for my little bookworm, with the letter M of course. Although, she's into Goosebumps now (blah) and I totally think the bookmark would look better sticking out of a Little House on the Prarie book, don't you?

The elephant one is just way awesome and if I can manage to part with it, it will make a fantastic Christmas gift!
Be sure to visit Hubgirl's shop for more fantastic bookmarks, necklaces and more. :-)
