The next night I couldn't sleep, so I made some of these ...
Then I remembered that my friend's niece was going for a visit to see her new baby girl!
I was so excited to go and buy some cute girlie shoes to send with her! It was my chance to buy some"girlie" things... which I love to do (but rarely get the chance)! And wouldn't you know it... because I was looking, I couldn't really find anything I liked. I hate that!
Since I love shoes, I always bought my niece shoes in our "favorite yellow boxes." I tried to find some cute shoes to send, but this is all I found (and they're way too big, but I had to get something).
Doncha love the box??? Me too... or I definitely wouldn't have bought them.
Since the whole "shoe shopping" for a girl was such a let down, I thought of something else!
Besides shoes, I love to scrapbook. What's great for me is that my mom owns a huge store and I so I have quite a collection of BOY materials. What I don't have... is girlie stuff.
So... I went on down to see my sister at the store... and got all the stuff to make this:
I love it! It's turning out SO cute, and I'm loving all the little pull outs, and bows ...
It's not done... and I'm supposed to be dropping it off soon!
I'm a totally zombie from no sleep... but I work best under pressure and this was a SUPER fun project.
This totally got me in the mood to scrap... so as soon as I catch up on the last 3 days of sleep that I've missed... I'm going to bust out all my stuff and get on it!

Dear Cardo,

You are soooo productive!! When i can't sleep I lay around and worry about not being able to sleep! I need some of your ambition and energy! Beautiful projects, thanks for sharing your creativity.
Don't you just love to buy girl stuff....
That scrapbook made me cry! It is INCREDIBLE - a piece of art. I LOVE IT! Thank you beyond mere words for this absolute treasure. Each page is a delight in and of itself and the fact that you used our own photos blew me away! And you included our doggies and M, T and D. Totally awesome my dear friend!!
(Seriously people, the photo does not even come close to doing it justice!!)
The shoes are awfully cute as well and having them be 'big' means I just get to anticipate how sweet they will look on her feet.
Wow! You are really crafty! Cool!
Hey, I want to see some dirty baby pictures! I'm hosting a carnival next week and I'm absolutely positive that you've got pictures to share!
You project are great! I don't know how you do without sleep. I'm like a zoombie without sleep. You seem to get very talented without sleep. Love seeing you projects.
That book is Darling!! I am so jealous of your scrapbooking connection!
Cute pillows too!
Wow, you are incredibly talented and Super Mom as well! I love your blog.

C'mon over here when you get a chance! Your work is terrific.
I enjoy scrapbooking--it's a chance to do something JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT!
Too cute! You have too much creative energy! I am such a slug when it comes to decorating and photo archiving...
Thanks for taking a look at my blog and leaving such kind comments. Your boys are all very handsome. I just love the opportunity to buy girly stuff too! Your projects are all great. I love the cushions:)
Have you stopped at the four boys?! I get fed up being asked that question!
If you don't mind, i would love to come back and read all about your family's antics!
Love,
Amanda xx
Families! I cannot spell :/
