Bringing Amelia Home.

In the past few years, God has blessed me in so many ways with the amazing friendship of Janel. She's been such a big sister to me, and she'll never know how grateful I've been for all of the texts and emails full of advice. :)

Janel and her husband Adam are adopting a little girl soon (in like, a week!), and as overjoyed as they are and Auntie Haley ;) ... Adoption costs money, and with a little over a week to go, $25,000 is a lot to come up with!
If you follow Janel's blog, then you are probably aware of all of the awesome opportunities available to give to this amazing family. But just in case you don't, here are some different ways!

* Quilt squares for Amelia
* An online yard sale full of original Elsie paintings
* Option to donate any amount of your choice
* Janel's Etsy shop is open for business! Her shop is full of cute prints all in the theme of helping her adopt, and her past online classes!

Be sure to stop by Janel's blog and wish her luck and maybe even help Janel & Adam bring sweet baby Amelia home. :)

Love you Janel! Your sweet family is in my prayers. ♥

lately, in cellular photos.

So, this week/weekend has been crrazy. I feel so incredibly busy, when in fact...I am not. Ha! So.. here are some photos for your viewing pleasure..I got these cutie little things in the mail from my boyfriend's niece, emily. a while back i sent her a little something in the mail, just for fun. one of the things i sent her was a little stuffed owl that i made. so, when she sent me my thank you card, she also wrote a book about snugglebug (that's what she named her.haha, so cute). and, i also got a cute little necklace from this shop. so stinking adorable.

i also voted for the very first time ever! not that it was anything exciting... it was just cool. :)

dad and i went to look at cars (i'm getting one soon!), and then went downtown for art walk, which of course meant we got cupcakes at the new cupcake place on Walnut. sooo stinking tasty!

dad got peanut butter cup (it has peanut butter buttercream icing... which they gave the recipe for it on the news this morning!) and i got red velvet, of course. so. good.

i stayed up till ungodly hours making cute little onesies for a friend's baby shower today. the one on the left says the baby's name, lillian. the other one says "xo." under the owl, but ...it doesn't really look like it. haha:)

my job is going SO well. :) my boss even says i "inspired" her to get started on a "cupcake of the week", so.. i'll get to pick out a flavor, and bake it, and sell it all week at the tea room. its going to be an awesome way to try out different recipes and such. i'm so excited! :))

okie dokie, its pizza time, and i haven't eaten all day!

so i'll be back soon:)
