Baggin' it

Mission Accomplished! I had the fun opportunity to be "guest Host" of the Fashion Forward Friday Challenge on Boutiquecafe.com last week. It was all about bags! Latest trends, what the celebs are toting around and of course the fun part - SHARING YOUR OWN favorite bag. I challenged eveyone to share pictures of their favorite bag(s) and/or snap some paparazzi shots of their own. It's been fun blog hopping to check out all the faves. And of course what would a host be if she didn't take her own challenge, eh? I tried to fashion my shots after the style I have seen the paparazzi take of celebrities. LOL!!! I felt alittle silly setting up the tripod out in front of my house and trying to capture that "paparazzi" feel and look but it actually turned out to be alot of fun! and if you are sensing a trend in the color ( love that LIMEY green) so am I! LOL!!

These are two of my "most" used bags right now. The one on the right I was lucky enough to snag at target.com when a friend spotted them online and shared the info. I was surprised to see amy butler fabrics being massed produced but loved it anyway! The other bag on the left is one of the bags I will usually be seen toting to church. It holds small books, papers, crayons, etc to help my children sit quietly yet still looks fashionable for me.

You still have until next Friday - when the new Fashion Forward topic gets posted - to jump aboard and play! I'd love to hop around to more blogs and check out what you are "toting" around!

Swab the deck or Saddle UP!

OH what the heck! I was waiting to list some new children's outfits next week BUT..............after taking Susan's 10 minute Challenge from her Manage it Monday feature I cleaned off my fabric/design table and realized I needed to get these outfits up now - instead of next week!

Yes, yes that was my table last night but it looks so much better now. The fabric was flying last week getting lots of customs and new designs done.

SO.............on to the the fun stuff!!!! PIRATE Frenzy is just starting as the release of the third pirate movie sweeps across the nation! ARGH!!!! Can't wait to see it! and I have captured some of that fun with 2 of my new outfits! A coordinating boy and girl set perfect for "magical" vacations this summer, parties, events or just child who happens to loves Captain Hook or Jack Sparrow. ahem, "CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow". You can find both auctions and all the details HERE matey!


And if you are not heading toward the Caribbean this summer how about WEST? Saddle up the kids and get ready for the heel stomping time! I get so many requests and inquiries about Western Mosaic outfits for both girls and boys and and now my new design for this year is available! Lots of layering, hidden shapes, colors and textures! You're children are sure to get some extra attention in these
