Thursday’s Three: Beach time!

It’s so nice here in the Northwest today… I want to go to the beach! We have a beach themed Thursday’s Three this week.

1) My first pick is this Tuffo Surf Hut. I would love one of these! With the way Mike burns I assume baby does too… so, I don’t want baby in the sun at all. AND, all those other sun tents are pretty small. This one could fit me! Yeah, I’m the one at the beach under an umbrella… lathered in sunscreen. I LOVE/hate the sun! ๐Ÿ™‚

2) Ok, I’m pretty sure Ruari NEEDS a pair of red kids size Ray Ban’s. Yup, I think she does!

3) Then, she’ll need a sun hat for when we stroll around the beach searching for sand dollars. ๐Ÿ™‚ These little bonnets are cute! Please check out the Bella sol Bebe Etsy shop!

In other news… I’m SO freakin’ excited! Ruari and I got some photos taken of us today by a friend from work, Hollin Brodeur. She is VERY talented. I love her style and I CAN’T wait to see them! Hopefully Mr. Double Chin doesn’t show up in too many of the photos! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I really love photography.

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway: 5 winners will win address labels! Ends: June 29th, 11:59 PM Pacific.

Go ahead and check out the Paper Lady’s Thursday’s Three: Beach Time!

How about a giveaway? REALLY cute address labels…

{Sample of one address label design}

I think this is pretty cool. I get to give away a goody to 5 different people out there! The giveaway is VERY cute. I want to win…

{Sample of one address label design}

Ok, but this giveaway is not for me. ๐Ÿ™‚ It’s for you. What will these 5 lucky people win… 12 to 24 labels each (the quantity will depend on the label) from Pear Tree Greetings. Awesome! Seriously! I don’t know about you, but I LOVE snail mail. It’s always so fun to receive and to send!

{Sample of one address label design}

The labels come in a few different shapes: Square, rectangle, and a circle. AND, some even come with the option to have a personalized photo in it!

So, those samples I’ve shown are just a VERY small selection of what they actually have! I thought I’d just show all of you my favorites… turns out this would be a really long post if i did that. I had to narrow it down. ๐Ÿ™‚ Anywho… Please click here to check out all the different varieties for yourself. These labels can be used for more than just address labels: gift tags, stick it to cardstock to make a business card, bin labels… I think I’ll get myself some to tape the tissue closed when I send out orders for my shop. I could put my business logo in the place of the photo!

Wordless-ish Wednesday: *Muah*

{Usually I keep my Wednesday’s pretty wordless… but, I just had to talk today! (or, like Tia says, the words are not actually here if I have them in these lovely brackets…)}

{Anywho… the first shot is my photo submission for the Simplicity photo challenge: Self-portrait. This is really me. Just laying there with my baby. Kissing her *squishy* cheeks. Lovin it. I’m a Mama now.}


{Me and Ruari at 6 months}

{And, then this is Ruari giving me kisses back! Whenever I ask her for a kiss she grabs at my face, pulls it toward her, and pretty much licks my cheek… drool everywhere! But, I love it. So does she. ๐Ÿ™‚ }

{Kisses from baby}

{Happy Wednesday everyone!}
