I Just Might Be Looking For You!

Back in November I had my blog totally redone and I so love how it looks now. My next step into blogging is to begin to offer advertising(sponsorship) and having guest posts.

Right now I have three great sponsors on my blog...

Andrea from The Cottage Market...

Not only does Andrea have a super blog but she has two Etsy stores and continues to blog daily.

How she does it all, I have no idea...super cute blog and one of my favorite features is on Friday and her hubby's love of thrifting and his latest finds. (He really does have a good eye for great things!)

Barbara from Snip It Up by Ragbags has such cute quiled blankets, totes, kits and more in her shop...

I love her profile..she quilts and quilts and quilts and then when she gets tired - she takes a quilting class...how many of you can relate to this?

Last but not least is Junk Garden, Angie mixes different styles to make

some cute charms and right now she has several Valentine charm necklaces

that you'll want to check out.

And if you are have a new Etsy store or even an established Etsy store - I would love to work
with you and get your name out there to my readers. My prices are super low and I only do
this for fun, not to make money....

And if you aren't interested in advertising, there are other ways to promote your blog or business, click here for other ways to network with me...

Please keep in mind that I have the right to reject any offers that don't fit my interests.

Macie's Baptism and Nursery Pictures

Hard to believe but our little granddaughter, Macie is now 2 months old.

Today was Macie's baptism  and wouldn't you know it, I didn't check the camera batteries

before we left and the light was flashing...but we still got some great pictures..

Even though we were close to the front of the church, they were facing away from us so

I had to take my pictures from the big screen...Crystal, Macie and Stuart are on the left side

with the Macie's godparents, Jon and Libbie..

Macie's little baptism dress was so cute...lots of layers of tulle and lace..



The proud parents and Macie..

Don't you think little girls, especially babies are ADORABLE when they have headbands on..
and this flower is so pretty!

Of course I offered to hold Macie the entire time we were there....

The baptism cake was made by Libbie(godparent) and she made such a

yummy cake and use fondant for the frosting...

Now let me show you Macie's room/nursery...

After Macie was born, it was time to girl-la-fy the room and the first order

of business was to paint the room pink....

and added Macie's name(Pottery Barn) and I think the butterflies are from Target...

I took this picture even though Macie's baptism dress is laying there..

I wanted to show off the pictures from  Galeris Anais on this wall with some more butterflies..

And I love to check out other people's closets, don't you?

Thought I'd share Macie's closet..don't you love all the pink?

For now the toy shelf is in the closet...looks pretty cute in there..

This is the wall opposite of the crib...

three more pictures from Galerie Anais

and the baby onsie that I made before Macie was born...

I might need to make a girlie one now...

I'd sure love to have you join my weekly linky party, Sunday Blog Love

going on right here...

Linking up to these parties...
