Mommy time!

On Friday, I took a personal day off to have a Mommy day! I had a much needed doctor's appt. in the morning and then I headed to the Nutcracker Market with my friend Amber. It was CRAZY! So many woman trying to fit into very little spaces. I didn't really get too much there because it took so long to pay for something. You had to REALLY want it! I enjoyed the day off though and I knew I had one last show to attend on Saturday so I wasn't all that concerned with trying to buy stuff there. I really wanted to look for some unique Christmas gifts this year at all the shows and buy things that I felt were really fitting for the person. I didn't want to just buy to buy, ya know!? I wanted the item to jump out at me. Let's see, I believe I attended maybe 5 shows this year? The top winners were the Second Baptist Celebration show and yesterday's show at the Merrell Center. Here are a few of my favorite things that I got...I can't show you what I got Maddie. I mostly bought stuff for her but those items are hidden for Christmas!


These adorable hats were given to me by a friend of mine who sells them at Second's show....when I got to her booth she insisted that I pick two out for Cooper and Chloe.

I had to add these...they weren't actually craft show items but they are crafty! My mom's co-worker had a friend who sold these appliques that you iron on. (www.zingotots.etsy.com) I just finished them. They cost less than $10 with the onesie from Target! Aren't they cute? I'm sure you'll see some pictures of Cooper and Chloe wearing them soon.

This necklace called my name at Second's show...this is how I feel...totally blessed....I had to buy it! And, Todd calls me Mama to the babies. Cooper is now saying, "Ma Ma Ma Ma."

And, Craft Show Season wouldn't be complete without a crazy pair of shoes! I bought these at the Nutcracker! So fun!

Last year, I was on bed rest so I was unable to attend many of the shows. I just love to get together with the girls and go to these things. I don't typically buy a whole lot but it's still super fun. You do leave with lots of cute ideas that you could make yourself though!
