No doubt you know the magical Vanessa Valencia of A Fanciful Twist but in case you don't I highly encourage you to head straight over to her blog. Really - stop everything and head over! She is such a delight and her posts are full of imagination and vibrancy. She is always super sweet with the freebies as well. She had free Valentine's tags available for download and now has a St. Patrick's Day version. She also created the template and tutorial for these fun shamrock brooches. I whipped up a bunch for myself and some family and friends. I was working a little faster then Vanessa recommended and ended up gluing down some of the leaves but if you go to her blog, you'll see the fantastic results if you are in less of a rush! They have been very well received here.
These adorable stickers are from Max and Bella. They are for my mother-in-law, the knitting queen!
And isn't this precious?! It is a darling pillowcase dress that I purchased from Sugar Sandwich (how great is that name?). This is Katrina's photo. I'm having her send this to a friend of mine that just had a baby girl.
Look at this cutie by Karla Nathan! A perfect touch of spring now residing in my dining room.
And check out the fun additions she included in the package! Some glare on the Easter egg card but it is adorable and I was drooling over this fabulous Easter cart vignette!

Ta ta for now girls!

I just noticed that you're having a St. Paddy's Tag Swap. I am having one, too. Please check out my blog for some St. Paddy's inspiration. I have 18 players and I'll be posting pics of all the tags in the near future. I really enjoyed my visit here. Its filled with all kinds of wonderful inspiration. Cheers, Trish G.

Thanks, Karla, for visiting my blog and for straightening me out about the St. Paddy's Day Tags. LOL I don't know how I managed that - must stop blogging and get more sleep (not going to happen). Anyway, I do really love your blog and I will definitely be back to visit. I am watching The Office even as I type this. Cheers, Trish G.
Sugar Bear, I just love that brooch and birdie. So adorable.
