I’ve been eager to create a chipboard mini album designed especially for little girls. The pink ribbons, buttons and girly design is just too much fun. This chipboard album is from Maya Road. I used Pebbles embellishments. Paper, ribbons and buttons are by various vendors. It is a pre-made brag book – you just need to add your favorite photos and memories of your little girl. This is a fantastic baby shower gift! Shipping is included. It is available on etsy!

Love these beautiful flowers! They were so pretty I just had to snap a photo!

I discovered the wonderful world of flowers when I got married a little over a year ago. My mom’s good friend, Lori, helped with all of our flower arrangements. She was amazing and everything turned out so beautiful. One of my favorite wedding-related festivities was going to the giant flower warehouse to pick out flowers with my mom and Lori. There were so many different kinds – all bright and fun. Since then, I’ll occassionally stop by the warehouse and spoil myself with some beautiful flowers. For those of you in San Diego, the shop is open to the public off Morena Blvd. and has really great prices. I stopped by before Easter and bought several bright gerber daisy bouquets to brighten up the day. Love it! Maybe I will be a florist in my next adventure!

Ohhh – and another nifty secret about this floral warehouse… they sell ribbon by the spool (sometimes 25, 50 or 100 yards) for incredible prices! I just bought ribbon for my sister’s bridal shower invitations and couldn’t resist to purchase some fun, sparkly purple ribbon for my personal ribbon stash!

What do you do with your photos after you go on vacation? Leave them on your digital camera until the memory card gets filled up? Then, download them to your computer and then… do they stay there? Next time around, print your favorite 20 3×5 photos, order a 6×6 travel premade mini album, take 10 minutes to glue those photos to the pages — voila — you have a super cute handmade mini album you can show off your vacation photos! Here are a few snapshots of my favorite pages in the album. Click here to see the listing on etsy! Enjoy!
