I wasn't too happy when Patty's binder bit the dust after not even three full weeks of school! And what kind of binder did she want as a replacement? And what kind of binder was I unable to locate? Yep, Barbie.
Thankfully, being the easy going daughter she is, Patty was completely happy with the solid pink binder I found at Walmart. But, fate intervened and her first birthday party guests walked in with the most awesome Barbie gift bag and I knew instantly what would become of it! Thanks Bobbie and Dennis!
Have I ever mentioned how much I love the binders with insert able covers? I'm surely not the first person to do this, but I gotta tell you I am one proud momma tonight!

A Birthday Fit For A Princess
Oh my, where does the time go? I simply can not believe my little girl is turning seven soon! It seems like only yesterday I was swooning over that precious little bundle in the hospital! Fast forward seven years and we are gearing up for the ultimate princess birthday experience.
Naturally, I turned to Pinterest for inspiration. Oh my goodness there are some super cute ideas out there! At this point I think my lists have started making lists. Man, I wish I really knew how to use that sewing machine I have hoarded away.
Thankfully, where my sewing skills are lacking, I can somewhat compensate with Photoshop skills. I found a great DIY crown shared by The Path Less Traveled (love that blog name!) and fiddled with Photoshop until I was happy with the dimensions. I had already found Princess Sofia-esque clipart on Etsy (love Etsy!) and used them for a cute invitation. Filling in the crown was easy since I had finished the invitation last weekend. Now I can easily print the crowns onto cardstock and cut them out while I wait in the car rider line at school!
Totally adorable, am I right? I probably need to make a boy crown with a little prince, too. Then I can check "party hats" off my to do list!
