Hello There! House "A Home And Garden Event"

How Exciting This Would Be!

We have "lived" in our house for six years this October!

We have yet to put in a backyard!

We have yet to paint a single wall!

I have so many ideas of what I want,

but can't seem to put it all together!

Color schemes, flow from one room to the other,

compromise with my Husband...

Where to start???

Hello There! House

just might have the answer!

These are some pictures from the model home!

I hope to create this atmosphere,

to make my house...OUR HOME!

Maybe I'll even see YOU there!

Ellie

With 23 styles to choose from, their is a hanger set design for every kiddo. Hanger sets are available in 2 sizes including newborn to age 3, and ages 4 and up. Each set comes with 5 hangers. We had the opportunity to review the ballerina hanger set!

These are perfect for the little dancer in your family! I plan on painting her name on the back of these and using them to carry her dance clothes when she gets older! They won't get mixed up with other little girls dresses and she will stand out as the little diva that she is :)

These little hangers would be the perfect addition to a baby shower gift as well. You could opt to personalize like we did as well :)

The Bragging Mommy Giveaway

Sparkle Bee Hello Kitty Products Review and Giveaway

My two girls love listening to music. We have an old hand-me-down CD player that they use to use all the time. They crank up the volume & jam out in their bedroom and they love making up little dances to the music. To say that we needed a new CD player was an understatement. The only thing good about the hand-me-down is that it still works. Lucky for us, we can get rid of the old one because Sparkle Beesent

us an adorable Hello Kitty CD player.

My girls are in love with this CD player. It is pink & white and has Hello Kitty on it…..it’s so girly which makes it perfect for my daughters! It is easy for them to use too. My girls are also happy that it hasAM/FM radio since our previous CD players antenna was broken & it mostly picked up static Smile

. Now they can listen to Radio Disney all they want.

Things that are BRAG WORTHY:

Perfect for little Girls (or even big ones who love Hello Kitty)
Operates with a power cord or batteries
CD-R/RW Compatible
Aux-in Jack for Listening to an iPod, MP3 or Other
Stereo Headphone Jack
Small enough for portability

Ellie Sew Sweet went to camp

Ellie Sew Sweet went to camp with...

Cutting Edge Quilts

and

AZB4K

...and what a blast we had!

Here is some of the things we did!

This is one of the many preemie quilts we made with kits provided by

Arizona Blankets 4 Kids

We had plenty of Sew Sweet demos from our campers including:

A Flower Pin

A Mini Pot Holder

A Heart Shaped Sand Filled Pincushion

And a Sew Sweet Keychain
made from scrap fabric, batting and buttons.

Although we all kept busy sewing, we made time to play BINGO

Using our own collections of buttons

Had a Fat Quarter Swap
using Right-Left-Center Dice

Gave away door prizes and

Had Two Grand Prize Winners!

Congratulations to Kittie and Dianna!

All in all, we chatted, sewed, ate lots of delicious food,

(the camp cooks are the best)

shared tons of tip and stories and just plain enjoyed

our Girl Time!

Quilt Camp 2011

A BIG thank you to

Emmanuel Pines Camp
