Today I love SLEEP. That may sound funny but lately we've been struggling with A's bedtime. As soon as the lights go off, the fight begins. I'm talking an hour to two hours of crying even with the hubs and me walking around and holding her. So today I opened my sleep book and read up on some different techniques. Magic. Pure Magic, I tell ya!

Did somebody say 'road trip'?


Yup, this week I am lovin on road trips. Mostly because today I am on my way to St. George, Utah with my mom and A. We are going to visit my sis-in-law and her new beautiful baby (#2). I'm excited to see them and SOOOO excited for some warmer weather (63 degrees this weekend!). Now wouldn't you love that too?

Today's love (and most days, for that matter) is giveaways! I mean, who doesn't love to win things? Especially craft things!

Well, if you haven't already heard, Moda Bake Shop has been whipping up a new book! It's called "Fresh Fabric Treats" by Stash Books! The recipes are sworn to be tempting and delicious and to celebrate the book, they are doing a 'progressive dinner'! How fun. A progressive fabric dinner. :) And the best part-- TONS of giveaways!

Join in for a Progressive Dinner this week with 15 of your favorite Bake Shop Chefs who are all featured in the new book. You won't want to miss it... each stop will be full of fun and prizes!

Each author will be giving away a copy of the new book and a fabulous Moda pre-cut! Yipee!

For a chance to win a fat quarter bundle, fat eighth bundle, jelly roll, layer cake, and a charm pack (a $200 value!), be sure to comment on every author's Progressive Dinner post starting TODAY, January 20th. Good luck to you!

This week I am in love with Photoshop actions. Through creating my bloggy stuff, I have been finding my way around Photoshop and into the actions.
Basically I went from this:

to this:

in a matter of minutes! It was so quick and I love this picture of my little wiggler so much I made it our family blog header. Thank you Photoshop!

My first Thursday love post has to be dedicated to the most wonderful person in my life. He has been so excited for me to start this blog and my own shop and has lent a helping hand each step of the way. What a wonderful husband! Love you babe.
