Open Sundaes

Ok...since I am now going to post about my favorite things I am going to start with this. Open Sundaes. First of all...she got me with the logo...how great is that logo? I really need a t-shirt with it...I wonder actually if they sell tees with the logo. Anyways...then there is the site www.opensundaes.com cruise that site...and look at the shops...I could die in there...just looks like the most fun shop ever! Anyways...great Canadian company (yay canada!) and the products are honestly as good as they look. My favorites are the cotton candy body lotion and the lemonade hair powder...I even put the hair powder on my kids and then I sit with my nose shoved in their pony tails! This stuff is awesome...go order some now!

A new look around here

Ok...so I get bored easily. I never thought I had ADD in school...however I find the older I get...the more cuckoo I seem to get. I get all "panic attack" like in traffic...and lines...and anywhere with more than 5 people...ha. Needless to say I have another birthday (oh goodie) coming up this week and well...I could care less except for the fact that that means I can have a cupcake! Ha. And I do love them cupcakes. Ok...back to the boredom. My blog which I am terrible at updating...needed a face lift because although I only look at it every once in a blue moon...I can't stand to see it look the same everytime. When I started doing this blog I automatically figured it should be about my paperlili stuff...but I think and talk about it all day that perhaps this needs to be a place to put my favorite findings of the day. Or week...or whatever. So...that is the direction we are going in...of course...there will also be updates on my "stuff". Anyways...since my birthday is coming up and I will have to make a decision on what cupcake to gorge myself on...perhaps I will post my options and you can help me pick. One will be a sprinkles cupcake...which of course would be the vanilla...yum...and the other option will be the "party animal" cupcake from Cupcakes in Scottsdale...again...yum. Since the two bakeries are only blocks from each other and I do have to head that direction to see if cupcakes needs any more tees (which by the way...my new cupcake expert header on my blog is from one of the tanks I do for cupcakes...can be purchased at The Silly Wagon as well...or by calling cupcakes in scottsdale...they have all sorts of colors of it). Anyways (maybe I do have add)...ok...help me make a choice and put it in the comments section.

On a different note...I will be working on my paperlili website soon to make it user friendly (even I get confused on the silly thing.) There will be more bling and less confusion...if that makes sense. Ha.

Duck Duck Goose Boutique

Yay! I am in Duck Duck Goose Boutique...so great. I love every single thing Stacy has in her shop...and I am so happy to be in there as well. www.duckduckgooseboutique.com

The Fancy Nancy Party was a hit!

All decked out...I think the girls had a good time!

And another one...Baby Couture Magazine!

Yay...so Whitney, owner of www.thesillywagon.com gave me a heads up that Baby Couture magazine was looking for back to school clothes. I sent them a couple pieces and they picked my Guitar Super Star shirt! This is such good news as I just tried these glitter shirts. You can get them on the silly wagon site...but I was not sure if boys would dig the glitter. My nephew looked ADORABLE in it the other day(I will post a copy of it in action)...but I am SO excited that they liked it enough to put it in the magazine. I love Baby Couture mag. It is hard to find though where I am. I have all the back copies saved...Barnes N Noble used to be the place to find it...but they don't even have it all the time. I solved this a couple months ago by signing up for a subscription...strange enough...my first issue I received from my new subscription is the one with MY SHIRT IT IN! Oh...too exciting for little old me. Love it.

Desert Living Magazine!

So here is a picture of the beautiful Katie,owner of the Garage in Scottsdale. The funkiest kids store. She sells everything from Dolce and Gabbana kids to retro lollipops and soft serve ice cream. It is just a fun place to shop and hang out...kids love it. Anyways...Desert Living magazine did a spread on her place and whos Candy Clothes Cupcakes shirt in hanging in the back???

My girl is so purdy...

Just some summer fun...

Punky Brewster and Sabrina the Teenaged Witch!

So the Silly Wagon was putting together a little basket for Soleil Moon Frye and Melissa Joan Hart. Both ladies just had new babies...and they needed some paperlili stuff! Anyways...since I feel like I grew up with Punky Brewster and have watched every episode of Sabrina about 3 times with my daughter...I put a couple packages together. Melissa has 2 boys and Soleil had 2 girls. I hope they like the stuff!

omg...2 posts in one day!

Ok...so my daughters 8th birthday is coming up. Usually I am all over these things even though I do like to keep it low key and family. At least until they demand that their friends be involved! Ha. Anyways...I just saw yesterday that A. Birthday Express has a Fancy Nancy birthday theme AND... B. Target now carries a whole Fancy Nancy line of dress up clothes and the cutest doll ever. Now I don't know...8 may be a little old for a Fancy Nancy party...but both she and I LOVE fancy nancy and the excitement level over all our findings was so high yesterday that I figured...we can pull it off in a "big girl" way. I think. I do need some ideas...so if you have some...please send them to me. Oh...and one more catch...my nephews will be at the party...so how do I incorporate boys into Fancy Nancy (although they may dig the feather boas.)

I have been tagged!

Ok...so I was tagged about, oh I don't know...a month ago! Ha. I thought about it...and really I am not that exciting of a person. So...I am supposed to write 6 things about myself...quirks I guess...so here it goes...

1. I could EASILY live on fluids alone...Starbucks, Jamba Juice...Diet Dr. Pepper...you name it...if I had to wire my jaw shut...this would not be a problem for me...as long as I had a straw

2. I hate HATE pictures of kids eating! Well in fact anyone eating for that matter (I wanna punch Rachel Ray in the face on that $40 a day show...and my husband watches it all the time) ...if you tied me down and made me watch one of those pie eating contests it would be worse than chinese water torture for me. It honestly makes me feel ill. First birthday photos are never good for me! And I love photos...but anything with food all over the place...noooooo!

3. If I was on survivor and it was week 2...you know the week when they have to eat gross things. Well if that gross thing was either peanut butter, yogurt or jello...I would lose. My gag reflex kicks in and I would literally be unable to eat it...me kicked off the island in week 2. Nice

4. Hmmm...since my first 3 things all have to do with food...this makes me think I have eating issues. But those about cover my food anxieties. I have plenty other issues! Like Claustrophobia and general panic attacks. This is somewhat new to me. I think it started when I had kids and I was on a schedule. So anything...stuck in lines, traffic, airplanes on the tarmac, elevators...you name it...my stress level skyrockets...my heart starts beating super fast and I could literally rip someones face off. It is not good. I have no idea what has happened to me...but it is actually a gross feeling when you just get totally ansy. I probably look like a 2 year old jumping around all itchy or something!

5. The older I get...the less I like noise. I remember being a kid and driving in the car with my mom and dad...a rock song would come on and they would say, "what is this noise!" I would think...man is that what happens when you get old??? Yup...thats exactly what happens. I am only 32..but I LOVE silence. Quiet. I almost cannot think with noise around me. However, if excercising...the louder the music the better...otherwise...I like calm and quiet.

6. I have an identity crisis! Ha. Anyone who actually knows me...already knows this. I cannot settle on one hairstyle...one color...and my clothing style changes with the weather. I have ALWAYS been like this. When I was in grade school I would make sure I did not wear the same outfit in the same month (yes I had alot of clothing...but mixing and matching was ok...as long as it was not the same combo)...plus PLUS...I did not own a pair of jeans in highschool...not regular blue jeans. I did have a pair of bright yellow guess jeans...and my sister had purple and turquoise ones...but that was the extent of my jean wardrobe. And hair...don't get me started...I never understood having only one hairdo...so I would literally make it different every single day...I laugh that Posh spice has had the exact same hairdo for the past 2 years...what is she thinking! Thats a crime in itself!

Ok...so those are 6 things about me...all very true...and probably not a secret to anyone that knows me well! Don't think I am crazy...and if you actually write down 6 quirks about yourself it is rather theraputic...or you realize that just when you think everyone around you is nuts...you are just as whacked out yourself.

Since blog posts are boring without photos...I will include one of my kiddiepoo wearing a new Kindergarten Rocks t-shirt that I will be offering soon...
