Oldie but Goodie @ Bugaboo - Cute Baby Edition

It's an Oldie But Goodie Day over at The Bug Blog and the little oldie I'm going to share with you is definitely a goodie and for our new arrival who will be here in just a matter of weeks!

Our baby girl has been a kicker since the first time we saw her - she kicks every time we have an ultra sound, so because we haven't decided on a name quite yet (we're down to 2 that will go to the hospital with us), we affectionately call her "Ninja Baby" when the arms and legs begin flailing.

What little Ninja Baby doesn't a custom Ninja Baby Onsie?  :)0

Tools - GIMP to color and organize image & text, Iron on paper & Iron

It was that simple - apologies for all the wrinklies in the picture, when I took this photo, the baby clothes hadn't made it to the laundry yet.....have no fear though, we're all washed & ready to go now!  :)

Thanks so much for stopping by - be sure to visit The Bug Blog and see what other oldies the design team girlies have dusted off.
Hugs & Happy Days!

Anything But a Card Monday at Bugaboo

A little ABC for you today at The Bug Blog.

With our new addition scheduled to arrive in less than 6 weeks, we've got a fair share of onsies that have started filling her closet.  There is NO SUCH thing as a plain onsie!  Nope, not in this house! 

So, here is one of many you'll be seeing.  Since my daddy isn't here to celebrate this exciting addition to our family (thought we know he had a little something to do with this from his perch in heaven).  It was only fitting that this be one of her first onsies.  Her guardian angel in heaven.

Extra STUFF - Carters Onsie, GIMP to color image, Printer & Iron On Paper

Pretty stinkin' cute, huh?

Be sure to stop back by - we'll have a bunch more of these cuties for our little cutie to share soon!

Hugs & Happy Days!

And the Winner is....

DRUM ROLL please......

Anything Goes!!!

I LOVE Anything Goes Days when you can create anything you'd like.

Well, that's what we're celebrating over at The Bug Blog this week!

Here's my little Anything Goes.  I have cards from when I was growing up that my mama & daddy would write things in. Now as an adult, since my dad is gone, these cards are very special to me. 

So it's only fitting that Baby Girl K has a box of special cards that she'll see at some point in her little life.

This is one - made especially for the day this little tiny miracle arrives into our life.

Thanks so much for stoppin' by today - we're down to 8 weeks before our little jelly bean arrives, so of course, lots of last minute things we're trying to get wrapped up.
New Carpet and furniture are scheduled to arrive Monday & Tuesday and then we'll be in full swing to get the nursery organized and finish decorating.

Hugs & Happy Days!
