Twinkle Lights.

I LOVE Christmas lights!!

And by love I mean I would keep them up year round if I could, and put them everywhere. everywhere.

Well tonight I might just have put them all over my shop and I can't wait to do the house and yard next!

Besties.

My bestest friend in the whole world in South Africa right now on the World Race. She left in September and won't be home until August of 2012, and will only be home for a week before she moves across the country to attend Johns Hopkins for her graduate degree. 

I am so super proud of her and she amazes me everyday. Even though we are the same age she is someone I will always look up to, I can't imagine where my life would be without her. 

We aren't just besties we are sisters. 

Love you James, and come home safely. 

If you would like to follow her adventure here is the link to her blog http://jamiesmith.theworldrace.org. 

Halloween

Happy Halloween!

From, Ursula, Ariel, Crab and the dog. 

Montana.

Our quick trip to Montana was perfect.

We got to catch up with friends and help with the Smith's big day.

They got married at a ranch in Helena and it was BEAUTIFUL! Here are some pictures we took and I will share more once the photographer's come back. 

In other news... I have a new shop!!!!! **squeal** 

A big thanks to my Mother and Father in law because they totally surprised me the other night at dinner. I will be moving in this weekend and will share pictures once I've got it all set up.  I can't wait, there will be so much more room for activities (Stepbrothers, anyone?).

I'm super excited to announce that I am working on a Christmas/Holiday line of cupcake trees, cake plates and maybe some other little lovelies. 

Everything will be available to order the day after Thanksgiving and will be ready to ship. So no lead time...YAY!! 

Once I start working on everything I will post sneak peeks of what's to come. 

Here are some photos of inspiration for everything.

4. I just now realized how much I LOVE mermaids. Thank you pinterest for bringing that to my attention.

5. Glitter may or may not be the best. invention. ever.
