Girl Trip!!!

So as many of you may know, this weekend was our Girl trip. My friend

Shelia and I took our girls to Dallas to visit the American Girl Doll Store and Bistro.

This was such a fun trip! If you have young girls I recommend it!

I'm showing off some pictures of our trip with more to come later!

This is the girls with their dolls before our Lunch at the Bistro.

Each girl and their doll had a super cute matching dress. And check

out those cute bows, one for each girl and each doll, made by

the ever talented Georgeann Quantie, I've said it before

and I'll say it again, if you need bows she is your go to girl!

These matched so well! And she had never seen the dresses!

I just described the fabric over the phone! I think I'm going

to add these matching girl/doll dresses to my store.

So if you want one for your sweet girl, you can check out our website,

or just shoot me an e-mail!

More pics at the hotel!

Oh by the way, we stayed at the comfort suites North/Galleria and it

was super nice and very close to everything we did while we were there.

Here we are in front of the store!

Yep those 3 dots in front of that flower bed are our girls!

The storefront was so tall we had to stand across the little street to

fit it in the frame!

So Excited and ready to go in!

And finally in the Bistro ready to eat!

The girls loved these little high chairs for their dolls!

And the brought cute menus for the dolls that we were

able to keep. And each doll got their own glass of Pink Lemonade!

And of course the girls had these great Chocolate

Shakes, yummy!!!

And yummy Root Beer Floats!

Then they had these cute little doll hangers everywhere to hold your

Dolls for you. They were in the bathrooms, the party rooms, anywhere

you may need someone to hold your dolls. These were in a room

where they offered a free craft for girls visiting that day.

Here is the fun craft, they had these great paper dolls, and templates

and papers for the girls to make their own clothes for their paper dolls.

The girls loved it and it was such a fun day!

Better Late than never

I know this was like 2 weeks ago, but my baby girl graduated Kindergarten this year!!! Part of me is so glad it is over, but another part of me is so sad that this milestone is already behind her. Now she is officially a first grader. And to top it off, she started her first day of camp at the Salvation Army Boys and girls club. I'm a bit nervous about that, but she had no reservations, she couldn't wait! It looks like it will be fun, they are doing all kinds of field trips, swimming, and other stuff.

Back to graduation, here are some pics for you to enjoy!

With her Friend Carsen in their cool sparkly 2009 glasses!

One last hopscotch on the tiles!

Okay that was a bit of Drama, we will be back next year!!!

The class board of baby pics & K5 Pics, boy have they grown!

Cheesing it up while she should be singing!!!

Her future husband!!! They have been engaged since

K4- his last name is Phillips too, so she wants to marry him

so she doesn't have to change her last name! I think he's a pretty

sweet kid, so I'm okay with that!

How cute are these little ruffle diaper covers!!! And she is giving away a pair! I love them!!! My neice would be so cute in these!! Although Elizabeth would probably want to keep them for herself or her baby doll!

Towels, Towels, & More Towels!

Not only are these great beach towels and gift sets

my new favorite gift to give, they are also my best sellers!

Here are some towels I did last week.

One for a gift and the rest were custom

orders!

I love all the colors!

Close up of the embroidery.

The colors look off, but it is lime with hot pink,

once again, my photog skills seem to be lacking!!!

another cute bag!

A wrap with the full name

Wrap with a monogram,

Again with the colors!

Something about free dress

Makes kids crazy!!!

As most of you know, my girls go to a private school,

and therefore wear uniforms to school 99% of the time.

However, today they were having field day,

A crazy day outside having sno cones and playing on

jupiter jumps and such.

So they had free dress.

Let me tell you, the minute we walked in the building,

everyone was excited and anxious to start the day.

While waiting in the hall before class

They were all acting goofy


Carrying the little ones, and having so much fun!

these two sweet girls pictured here with E, are two of my

favorite kids (I have lots of faves!!!).

They are both in the same grades as my two girls

and they are so sweet, and the girls just love them.

Plus I love playdates with sibling pairs that are the

same age as my girls, it just works out well for all involved,

no body feels left out and they actually all 4 play very well together.

Oh, and check out the cute bandana pants I made for E to wear!!! So easy to make and so cute on!!! I think I'll list them in my etsy store.

How great would they be for the lake this summer!

Creating Quiet Time

This summer My mom, my 2 girls, my good friend Shelia, her two kids, and me are going on a long weekend trip to Dallas to take the girls to the American Girl Doll Bistro and do some other fun things. So I've been working on some ideas to make the trip fun for the kids and us. I've come up with some great outfits for all 3 girls (the 4th is a boy) and their dolls so they can be twinkies!!! So be on the look out for cute posts about those later.

However, while trying to come up with things for them to do in the 8 hours spent in the car round trip, I remembered a box that I have moved from my sewing room, to the office, back to the sewing room and then to the garage without using any of it's contents. I bought these supplies at least a year ago, if not more, and I haven't used any of them yet!!!

So I pulled it out and made these:

They are super cute, and do double duty.

They are oilcloth on one side, great for a portable place mat.

Just wipe clean and away you go.

Then The other side is this great fabric that works like a chalk board.

Just doodle away, then erase and repeat!

They all have a cute little ribbon tie, so they can roll up and tie for portability.

I love them so much, I think I'll go list some in my etsy store right now!!

If you want one, check it out at http://www.lizzyroseboutique.etsy.com/

Or come see us at the Rt 66 Blow out in Downtown Sapulpa on June 6th!

Now, I have to give credit where credit is due. My other good friend Georganne was asking me about this fabric and reminded me of this project last week. Oh and she is also promising to be a guest blogger on here, she makes the most to die for hairbows, and sells them way too cheap, so if you need to outfit your princess in bows, she is the go to girl!

Happy Mothers Day

I hope you all had a great Mother's Day! On Friday we had a Mother's Day Breakfast in my oldest daughters Kindergarden class. It was fun and sweet. She made me a great little card that said mom and she colored it with great colors. Then they made us hand print paving stones which I love, I think we will paint it and put it in our flower bed! Oh and as you can see from the smile below, she lost her first tooth last week! A big day as she has been dying to loose a tooth for months now!

Birthday Gifts for summer

This time of year we have a ton of birthday parties. I love to give unique handmade gifts. So when we got invited to a party for one of my favorite little girls, I knew I had to come up with something special. So little miss E and I talked it over and decided she needed some fun beach/pool gear. And this is what we came up with:

Super cute beach towel, bag and flip flops!!!

Aren't these flip flops so cute and girly! E wanted to wear them!

Every girl (or boy) needs their own towel!!! Now no one can take it away!

She is in't included, but she was too cute to resist!

Always the model! Posing in her PJs and bedhead!

Limited time offer, get all 3 pcs in your choise of colors for $35

This offer is only good until May 15th!!! So get your orders in now!

My Earth Day Recycling Project

So my oldest DD was getting ready for school yesterday and I noticed that her tennis shoes were very ratty looking. The shoe laces were unraveling and they were super dirty. So we had a conversation that went something like this.
Me: Your shoes are in pretty bad shape, I think maybe it is time for a new pair.
DD: But mom these make me run fast and they fit fine.
Me: (shocked) You don't want to go shopping for new shoes?
DD: No, I just like these.
I tried them on her and sure enough they fit just fine.
So I decided today to revamp our old shoes instead of sending them to a landfill. So a little ribbon, some magic shoe lace ends and a Mr. Clean Magic Eracer and Voila, New er um revamped shoes!

My kids wear uniforms to school and our shoes are supposed to be all white or as close to uniform colors as possible. So this is what I came up with! Love them and I made real shoe lace ends!!!
Cant wait for DD to wear them tomorrow. I think I will make her a red pair too.....

Spring Cleaning Gone Crazy!

Okay, So I am working on deep cleaning/reorganizing of my entire house. Over the last couple months I have been helping my brother do a full make-over of his new house (painting every room), and thus I have let my own house go a bit. So It seems a bit out of control, so in an effort to get it under control I'm going to make a Big Ole Mess!!! I am going thru one room at a time and reorganizing. I started in the kitchen and I decided I hate my pantry. Well, what I use for a pantry.
We have these great large cabinets in our kitchen that we use for pantry and appliance storage. People tell me all the time how much they envy these large cabinets. Well let me tell you, they are great, but not for a pantry. The upper half I was using for pantry was a mess, and I had just cleaned it like 3 days ago. It is so deep stuff gets lost and I hate it. I have an actual pantry in my laundry room just off the kitchen that I just use for a storage space. So I decided to clear it out and use it for a pantry.
Well, that created this:

A big mess all over my kitchen! And Hours of work!!!
Then a frenzy to Hobby Lobby for some cute glass canisters that I thought were on sale 1/2 price according to the ad. Well, Miss Brooklyn and I headed out armed to buy canisters, loaded our cart with 10 of them. as well as a few 25% off bandanas, some 1/2 price ribbon, and one cut of full price lace (to use our 40% off coupon on!).
We get to the front ready to pay, excited about our new organized pantry and the lady said these weren't included in the sale b/c they are considered craft glass. Bummer. So I put them back to wait patiently for a sale. But I am not known as a patient person, so my Mom and I decided it would be a great idea to print off 10 - 40% off coupons and take my whole family to buy the canisters. So my willing participants, 1 daughter, 2 grandmothers, 1 mom, 1 brother, 1 nephew and me, head out to HL with my faithful grandpa as chauffer! So we go thru the lines 2 times, one canister per person per trip and we got them all, well all but 2 because at that point they had sold 2 of the medium size ones I wanted. But I was thrilled!!! So This afternoon I spent the entire time reorganizing my new pantry!!!
And I am soooo Proud!
Before:


After:

See how nice the canisters look!!! I just need 2-3 more!

I even put shelf liner on the floor! Crazy, I know!

I love it!!! I can see and find everything!

The shocking thing was, how many cans and boxes of expired food I had. I threw away a ton of food!

This is the trash waiting for hubby to take it out!!!

But My kitchen was restored to it's previous clean state!
