Lil Pumpkin

Isn't she just the cutest pumpkin you've ever seen?

I kind of feel bad for the other babies who may be wearing this onesie today, because unfortunately, it's just not true for them.

Thanks, Oprah

I'm not personally a huge Oprah fan, but I sure don't mind getting a good deal because of her! For those of you who go to department stores or nine west and purchase $75 shoes, you can just go ahead and stop reading right here. For those who are like me and rarely (maybe never) buy shoes that are from anywhere besides Target, Rack Room, and Payless... this is your lucky day!!

Payless Shoes is giving Oprah "fans" 50% off their ENTIRE in-store purchase! All you have to do is go here to print out the coupon! Better yet... you can simply text OPRAHSHOW to 242424, and they will text you back with the coupon. Simply show the text to the store clerk, and they'll give you the discount! You just really can't beat this deal! But you better hurry, because it ends tomorrow!

Happy Shoe Shopping!

Happy Halloween...

Update from Allie

Well, I sure you are all happy to hear that the blog, which was temporarily overtaken by craft fairs, has now been given back to its rightful owner, Allie girl. She is, after all, the reason that most of you visit us and put up with my senseless rambling from time to time!

She has been doing SO good! She's growing like crazy and just as happy and content as a baby could possibly be! She will be 5 months old tomorrow! Can you even believe it?? She loves talking and playing with her toys, laying on the floor watching tv, and loves being played with!! She still hates being on her tummy, so I wouldn't count on her crawling any time soon! She's recently started eating some fruits, and other than the strange faces she makes, she seems to like it! Not sure if she gets more in her mouth or on her face though!

Here she is awaiting her first taste of real food...

And here she is not knowing what to do with it!

For those of you dying to know what all we ended up getting from "C in the V", I've included some pics below!

Awesome spa products!!!

Allie's honorary grandma, Ms. Debbie bought this adorable tutu for her!! You may just be seeing it again in our upcoming Christmas cards! The bib is called a highchair huggie... which is basically a cute way of keeping them in their highchair... kind of like a straight jacket!! We'll see how it works!!

CUTE gift tags!!

I got her fav blanket monogrammed to "girlie" it up a little!

Cute Christmas decor...

Don't worry.. I also have a Christmas rug and an every day rug too, so my kitchen floors will never again be bare!

In addition to these things, I got 4 casseroles, a delicious dessert, some homemade jelly, a gorgeous scentsy burner, some jewelry, a diaper bag tag, a handprint ornament, and probably more that I just can't remember!! We've decided that after the AMAZING turnout this may just have to be an annual event, so we hope to see you all at next year's Christmas in the Valley!! A huge thanks to everyone who came, and especially to my awesome friends and fam who helped make it possible!!!

A Few More Things....

I hope the past 17 days of vendor spotlights have really gotten you excited about Christmas in the Valley! Yes, after all the preparation, it is finally here! I really hope to see you all tomorrow!

In addition to all the wonderful vendors that I've told you about so far, we will be having some AMAZING purses, SUPER FUN & CUTE diaper/tote bags & BIBS that are designed to keep your child in restaurant high chairs, beautiful heirloom candles, body shapers, & MORE!!!!

If you're like me, a lot of times I go to fairs and see TONS of things I want for myself, but I don't feel that I should just spend TONS of money on myself.... To help out with this, we'll be having a Wish List that you can pick up at the front door and turn in before you leave. You can write down things you see that you'd like for Christmas, give us the name and number/email of someone you want us to contact, and hopefully on Christmas morning, you'll be very happy!!

To my regular readers, thanks so much for putting up with my Christmas in the Valley updates for the past few weeks! Next week, things should be back to normal, and I promise to put up lots of pics of Allie!!!

Just in case you've forgotten, here are the event details!
