Pinterest

Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness!
I finally have found a way to organize all of my favs that I find while surfing from site to site.  It is called Pinterest.  You "pin" photos to "boards."  So, let's say you find a party idea and you don't want to forget it. You would "pin" that photo to your Party "board".  You have to check it out...definitely one of my new obsessions.  I LOVE IT!  It is by invite only, so if you are interested...shoot me an email (that is if I still have followers).
Promise you are going to have so much fun!

Things to Love-WHAT NOTS AND DOTS

My mom bought Miss Peanut this great pair of "Cowgirl Tuff" jeans with bling bling on them! Oh, how I love these jeans. Think I need a pair for me! Originally, I wanted to make her a cowgirl for Halloween...not the cheesy kind...I wanted the real deal like my family is in Colorado! I was able to find a cute shirt to go with it, but the boots are on back order. Such a bummer. Thought I would share with you the hat that I made for her to wear. I will wait until I get the boots to show you the whole ensemble...precious! You will find the hat is filled with things to love-bling, huge flower, and DOTS!

Things to Love

A lot of people can't figure out the meaning behind my blog title. I really came up with the name when I was toying around with starting some form of a baby/children's boutique. As most of you know, I have an absolute obsession with stripes and polka dots...it just seemed like a natural fit. As I grew up the courage to start my blog for the family, I could not think of anything creative to title it. Yesterday, I decided to start featuring some of the striped, polka dotted, and what not things that I love. Hopefully, you will love the items and decide you can't live without them! If you come across a "thing to love", pass it on. I can feature you and that item! Happy Loving!

ZEBRA STRIPED

My friend, Maggie, created these masterpieces with her kiddles! I just love them especially the zebra striped one! You, too, can create one of these! Mag was able to free hand both...wish I had that talent. To achieve the zebra print, spray paint the whole pumpkin in white. Then create the black stripes with black acrylic paint.

DOTS AND STRIPES

I recently ordered this whimsical banner from Etsy. I adore it! You can find your own creation at Whimzy Creations. The designer was super easy to work with and promptly had my purchase in the mail. I have got my eye on a "Give Thanks" banner for Thanksgiving.
