Sweet Baby Evie

Sweet baby Evalyn Jayne, or Baby Evie for short. Gosh, I get kind of choked up thinking about this sweet little baby! She's pretty perfect. Time kind of stands still when I'm holding her. Evalyn is a special little name, and so is Jayne...names of some pretty special women in my life. How is it that a new baby can bring so much peace and evoke so much love?

It's been amazing watching her older siblings fall in love with her! Claire is a natural little mother to her, and Bubba is quite protective. The bow in the picture lasted for almost a week, til the Bubba-chub Monster decided she didn't need it any more!

Life sure is good.

Valentine's Day Card Swaps!

I loved participating in a couple swaps over the holiday season, so it was fun when I came across more card swaps for Valentine's Day! Several people asked me about the swaps I participated in over the holiday season, but by the time they asked, it was too late to sign up...SO...if you want to get in on the Valentine Card swaps that I'm participating in, sign up now! :)

The first swap is over at The Stationery Place. Lyndsey is a friend of mine who formerly worked at American Crafts. Her blog always has inspiring paper-slash-stationery related inspiration from around the web. Be sure and add her blog to your reader! Sign up deadline: January 20th. Visit her blog for more details.

Crow and Canary is also hosting a Valentine's Card swap! I just recently found this blog, and it's a super fun blog showcasing all-things stationery. Love it! Sign up deadline: January 21st. Click here for more details.

Unrelated, I saw these pics of kitchens on My Happy Little Life today and totally fell in love.



Someday my kitchen will be as awesome as these kitchens! ♥
