Got a big box in the mail today from my sister Brooke full of her beautiful crafts to sell at the fair tomorrow. Here are her painted and papered picture frames:

Come see me at The Grove Craft Fair this Saturday, April 25 from 9 am to 12 noon. (Address: 20105 S Gilbert Road Chandler, AZ 85286) There will be approximately 50 vendors selling everything from clothing to baked goods and free activities for kids (including a bounce!) I've been promised a rare, shady spot in the courtyard so I should be easy to find.

Here's a taste of some of the goodies you'll find at my table: framed cut paper art works by yours truly, my sister Heidi's beautifully sewn tote bags and my sister Brooke's adorable hair accessories.

Hope to see you there!

Getting out the Easter decorations I found these buddies made for me by mom when I was a kid: original beanie baby felt bear, polka dot bunny (she was waiting for me on the swing set Easter morning) and a rosy cheeked baby doll...

Here's a little felt bear my mom sewed for me when I was Superbaby's age so that I could practice buttoning, snapping and tying a bow. I used to play with her for hours and now Superbaby loves her, too!

Aunt Theresa? She made you a blanket? Why didn't I get one? Those all look so snuggly!
