Getting Ready...

I'm stocking my shop full of goodies, because next week I'm participating in this:

UCreate's Holiday Boutique!

I'm going to be offering a couple discounts...it's gonna be FUN.

K is TWO.

We got these pictures done while visiting my mom in New Mexico.  Her friend Pam from Etherdox Photography did the girls' pictures for Halloween and we quickly changed K for some shots for her birthday as well.  I did double duty and whipped her up a dress so I could use the shots for my elk stuff!  Check 'em out.  They really turned out fabulous.

The best thing about Pam is that she's a mom, so she knows how those two year olds roll.  As in, rolling the opposite way of however you want them to roll.  I loved that she just followed her around, and the shots turned out beautifully.  And since you're all DYING to know what they were for Halloween, I'll post a couple of those shots too.

 E was Queen Clarion from Tinkerbell, but the one from the books, not the movie.  K was Minnie Mouse (didn't want to wear the ears here) and L was Snow White.  Their lovely Awa (my mom) made the costumes. 

And once she got on the swing, she wore the hat.  Phew! 

The yo yo kimono dress (well, not the actual one, just the style!)  from K's two year old pictures is available in a 3T or a pick your size/color on my etsy shop. 

Crazy Goal. Maybe?

I want to lose 20 pounds before the next Queen Bee Market.

(As in, I'd like to participate at the next Queen Bee Market, please? :) )

(And I'd like to look a lot more svelt in my pictures.)

Queen Bee Market

Here's a scary picture of me.  I really hate being on the other side of the camera!  BUT, I had a ton of fun at the Queen Bee Market this last weekend.

(Thanks to Miss Dolce Vita Mia for the picture!)

The most fabulous thing of the Market for me was meeting other vendors and making new friends.  (Oh, and having a girls' weekend with two awesome friends!)  It was really gorgeous and I wish I had come with a million bucks to just blow on the whole thing.  It was the best kind of eye candy. 

Thank you thank you Mique and Jessica!!

And whenever Margot wants to come hang out with me and Kassie, it won't be soon enough!

Fabulous Crystal is going to show me all the best spots in the LA Fashion District this spring.  Can't wait!

I would so love to go flea market shopping with Michelle. 

We had a GREAT row.  Fun girls to hang out with, and we definitely had the best smelling row. 

When I have a chance tomorrow I will link up to some of my favorite shops from the Market.

Seriously, it was like a summer camp for us big girls.  I have a bum pocket full of business cards and a head full of new things I've learned.  And arteries full of Little Italy, but that's another story.
