Santa's Work Shop and Boutique

Just in case any of you are wondering why my blog posts are so sparse and far between it is because I spend my life working on Simply Creative.

Oh and I have to just say how proud I am of this website. Kim practically put herself through computer school in three days to figure it all out, and I designed most of the graphics. We are pretty impressed with ourselves

Baby Girl!!!!

Yes, we're having a girl. After having three boys we didn't think we could make girls. I of course am thrilled. Carson cried when we 1st told him. He said he didn't want a sister because they take too long to get ready and we don't have any pink toys for her. Brayden is convinced I am having a puppy so he could care less either way, boy or girl, as long as it's a puppy. Oh and we are naming the "puppy" flower.

So of course I have bought tons of clothes, nothing practical like jammies or sleepers, but tons of little Mary Jane shoes, bows and dresses (I even found an Easter dress, I'll post a picture).

I've also designed the nursery in my head. . .

The Bedding I found at Target

The Pink Damask Rug. . .also found at Target

The pink gingham rocker at JC Penny.
Ryan thinks I am crazy to spend this much money on a PINK rocker (it will be my birthday and christmas present from him, my Mom,my mother-in-law and myself) But really how much is he up with the baby? The man sleeps like he's dead. I'm the one spending hours rocking a baby back to sleep in the middle of the night and after four pregnancies and two other babies, I think I deserve to be comforable.

Add some bead board, paint, a little vinyl, oh and a chandelier and it will be so dainty, girlie, whimisical and pink, my boys won't even dare go in there!
