Your LO is just beautiful. I so love your style. Now my husband is a neat freak and if any glitter or shiny bits are left on our floor i am afraid to say that it gets vaccumed up. He does know just to close the door on my craft room and NOT to tidy up.
Have a great day.

Oh Stephanie - I was thinking about your post yesterday and it reminded me that my grandma used to tell all the grand kids..."you may not be pretty, you may not be tall, you may not be rich, you may not be famous, you may not be happy BUT you can ALWAYS be KIND ! So true, so true ! I hope that when I die that is something people say about me. She was always Kind.

Great Layout! Love the little banner on the bottom....I think I am feeling like a scraplifter today!
I love having girls too....love the little blingy stuff the leave behind and have in their eyes! Girls are FUN!!! Love when they get into feathery stuff too!
