shoes... need I say more??

I love shoes! I wish every time I went shopping it was shoe shopping... unfortunately, I do more shopping for my kids than for me. I especially can't resist shoes for my little girl! They are sooo cute!

tiny prints and my own print

I have had the most exciting weekend... My sister had her sweet baby girl last week:

How adorable is she?? I am so in love with this baby... the best part is I get to do all the lovin and I still get my sleep! LOL

I am helping my sister make some birth announcements (like the one above) and I am loving this site: TinyPrints.com. Have you ever ordered invites, announcements, or cards from this site? I love the templates they have on here... and look at these special Halloween and Thanksgiving themed invites and cards:

If Fall is this adorable I can only imagine what Christmas cards will look like?!? 

I can't wait until we get the official newborn pictures done and the official announcement is made. But the teaser above is still adorable!! 

Something else that is exciting...

I have been practicing some printing myself and made some of my own fonts!! I have been wanting to do this from the minute I learned about this app! Anyone who has an ipad should totally make their own fonts, it is easy and sooo much fun! Check out the few I put together:
