oops ...

I have to admit ... I kind of forgot about my poor little blog there for a while! We have been blessed by having family around often and that has kept us pretty busy the past few weeks.

Stay tuned Saturday for the November design and giveaway! A winner will be chosen the following Saturday.

I added 3 new items to my Etsy shop and BigCartel shop. The link to get you there is on the left side of my blog ... go check them out! Pictured below is one of the "new items" that is featured on there. I love it because it is super simple, but unique as well. Each sterling pendant is stamped with JUMBO lettering and has an antique finish, so it isn't as shiny as your typical sterling silver. Very pretty and timeless. Customize your own!

Here it is ...

it's beginning to feel alot like ...

Fall!!! I am so excited about the new crisp, cool air we've been having lately. I love the beginnings of fall ... the crisp air, slightly windy, falling leaves, pumpkin spice candles, warm apple crisp with vanilla bean ice cream ... mmm :)

What do you love about fall?

Aren't baby feet and shoes so sweet? I wanted to share some pictures of Kylie's baby shoes ... she wont be in these much longer. So sad.

props ...

Every month I have a photoshoot with Kylie for her "monthly pictures". We do this so we can see how much she has changed since day 1. Yesterday we did her 6 month pictures ... YES 6 MONTHS!!! Where has the time gone? Crazy. I am running out of creative juices ... I try to do a theme, and this month was a Campbells Tomato Soup can! I dressed her up in a yellow and red strawberry outfit (she doesn't have alot any other red clothes ... as matchy as we were going to get!) and we went to town taking pictures. It was kind of fun to see her size compared to the soup can.

Here are a few ...

giveaway winner ...

The lucky winner for the "family" keychain is ... Alice! She said her favorite Halloween costume as a kid was spiderman. Alice, e-mail me at cristinaashleydesigns@gmail.com with your address and I will send you the keychain ... congratulations!

To be honest, I don't even remember dressing up a ton for Halloween, but I am thinking about dressing Kylie up as Tinkerbell or some sort of fairy. I think she would look SO cute! I just have to figure out how I am going to make the darn skirt :)

I will leave you with a cute picture of my sweets ... I know she's crying and I think it's cute!

it's been a while ...

Well, I let the time slip away without posts the last week, huh? We have been having some fun. My sister-in-law came into town and took some family photos for us ... much needed! They turned out fun. We went to an old white barn off a back road by our house and also took some pictures at an elementary school. Have a look!

On a sidenote ... I messed up. I wrote in the giveaway post that I would choose the winner at the end of the month, but it is only supposed to be one week before the winner is chosen ... and that is TOMORROW!!! So sorry about that. Stay tuned!

For the family photos, here are a few of my faves ... or alot of my faves!

I saw this fabric and LOVED it ... reds and blacks aren't my favorite, but I couldn't resist the pattern! Cute huh? I am working on a fun little project with it ... don't know when I will get it done, but I will share when I do!
