Daphne's First Christmas

Daphne is 12 weeks old today.  She loves cold weather, snow and her brothers, until dad gets home and then he is her FAVORITE!  Never mind, I am the one who takes care of her every need...



She sits in it like it's nothing!  I love to watch her put her nose down under the snow and tunnel through.  I'm trying to get a video of her doing it.


Like any baby, she had the most fun with the wrap and bows.



Nicholas got a ring for Christmas and Daphne found the box.  Like any good memory keeper, I asked Benjamin to hold her down while I took a picture, before I scolded her. *Ü*


Thank goodness it was just the box!


She absolutely loves this large jingle bell!  She puts the string loop in her teeth and swings it around and hits herself in the head and then attacks it.  She is soooo fun!

Look at this!  January Coach Collective is chock-full of spring florals and Valentine's projects that you will love!  
Enjoy the sneak peek until January 1st when it can all be yours!

Christmas 2017

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas with your friends and family!  Here are a couple of highlights from our home.


Christmas gifts and tree ornaments being kept safe from the new puppy with a fence all the way around.


When Benjamin was born I found this stocking at a craft show and fell in love with it.  Having no intention of having another child, I only bought one.


Surprise, surprise!  Three years later Nicholas came along and you know me, I had to have a matching stocking! You have no idea the lengths I went to in finding the lady who made Benjamin's.  They had moved, she had gotten out of craft shows and wasn't even sewing anymore. I was able to talk her into making one more. *Ü*


There is nothing like seeing your kids happy and excited.  No matter how old they get there is something a little magical about Christmas morning!


Removing the fence so presents can be opened.  That little girl is pretty sure he should not be touching that and seems to be looking to dad for approval.


iPhone X for both of them.  They were shocked and surprised!!  Yay, mom and dad nailed this one!


All is well in the Roberdopoulos household.  The boys will both be home for nearly a month and that makes for a very happy mama!


A new edition of Coach Collective is coming on January 1st. Check back on Thursday, December 28th for the Sneak Peek photos. You’re going to love it, you’re going to want it, and you can get it soon!

Rose Package Corsages

I recently had out of state guests and gave them a box of Idaho Spud Bars.  You can't just give a plain box!  I used the Fun Stampers Journey Summer Bouquet Dies to create beautiful roses.


I added a 2" circle to the back of the rose with a piece of wire between the rose and the circle.  I then hot glued Christmas greenery and small ornaments to the rose and tied the wire around the ribbon bow.  Kind of like a Christmas package corsage!
