Freezer Paper Stenciled Onesies-A Great Baby Gift

The baby boom continues.  I have five sweet girls, that have just had babies, or are about to have babies.  I've been very busy making baby gifts for them. I had every intention of making a bundle of five gifts.  These five gifts would include the adorable Fancy Burp Cloths and Dressed Up Wipe Cases, but I just never got that far and I thought the moms could use the gifts before their babies are high school graduates.  I did make them each a Birth Announcement Sign, a Please Knock Sign, and a Freezer Paper Stenciled Onesie.

Here are the gifts I made for sweet Lindsey and her son, Micah.

Rippled Baby Blanket & Baby Hat

Just when I think I am getting my project list cut down a bit, it seems to pile up!  I finished this beautiful Ripple Baby Blanket a couple of weeks ago.  I didn't have any other blankets on my to do list and now I have three more!  I am telling you it is a baby boom!

I made this baby blanket and sweet little cloche hat for our church secretary's daughter, Jill.  This blanket is traveling farther than I have ever sent off a blanket before.  Kathy (our wonder church secretary, who spoils us rotten) went to spend some time with Jill after the birth of her granddaughter, Hannah.    Jill and her family are living and working in Abu Dhabi.  Yep, that is completely on the other side of the world.

Ladybug Tutu

Yesterday was my sweet Anna's first birthday.  I can't believe she is 1!  Where did time go?

We are so very blessed to have Anna in our family.  She brings added sweetness and joy to all our lives.  All my boys (husband included) adore Anna.  How could you not love a little girl who smiles all the time?

I've had quite a few people tell me lately with amazement, "She is such a happy baby!"  I am confused by this as I would think all babies are happy, but I guess that isn't the case.  Thankfully, God has blessed us with three very happy and friendly kids.

Enough about how much I love my kids, on to what I made Anna!

Anna has a ladybug room, ladybug slippers, the nickname Anna bug, a ladybug birthday cake and now, a ladybug tutu!

Big Canoe, Georgia...A Great Vacation Spot

Are you looking for a great mountain vacation spot?  My parents found one and included us in the great vacation: Big Canoe, Georgia.

Big Canoe is in the foothills of North Georgia Appalachians. Big Canoe is just one hour north of Atlanta. It is a gated community with over 8,000 acres. 1/3 of this land has been set aside for wildlife.  It is beautiful.

There is so much to do in Big Canoe.

My Mama makes the best cobbler.  I have loved it ever since I was a young girl.  This recipe is for a Peach cobbler, but you can use this recipe with just about any fruit and have a fantastic recipe.

This recipe is the perfect mix of fruit, crunchy topping and gooey inside.  Can you get better than that?
