Welcome Back Brittni!

To the world of blogging!

Wow! Has it really been a whole year?! It's certainly been an eventful one around here for sure!

My oldest (my daughter, Amelya) started Kindergarten a month ago! Yes, I cried.




So did she. The bus forgot her. Drove right by. ZOOOOM!!! Poor girl! What a way to start Kindergarten! It's okay though, she was fine once Mommy & Daddy drove her to school and she saw her teacher!




My little guy, Benjamin, is in preschool 2 days a week as well.




Nice face, huh? Even at 3 years old, he's too cool to pause for a moment so Mommy can play papparazzi. They learn too early.

That means that I get a whole hour and a half all to myself twice a week!

Do you feel bad for me? Don't. I find things to do with my time. Laundry. Picking up Princess shoes and Duplos. Making beds. Stepping on crayons and grinding them into carpet.

Okay. Well maybe you should feel a little bad for me.


I also have more time to SEW! That makes me happy! A happy Mommy makes for happy kids. When they've had a nap. And when Mommy's had a nap.

So I'm back in full-swing, and loving every minute of it! I'm also part of a wonderful group on both EBay and Etsy called "Hope for God's Children". Did you see that? If you click on those gray words, it will take you right to the website! Fancy, huh? Aren't you impressed?

Anyway. We launch every other month to raise money for a child who has cancer. We have had 6 beneficiaries so far, and it's a humbling experience to get to know these families! All proceeds from every listing on both sites go directly to the families. The designers keep nothing, except the knowledge in our heads and hearts that we have done a little bit to make a hard life more manageable.

So head over to EBay or Etsy and search "HGC Matthews" to find our current listings to help the Matthews family pay down a few of the mounting medical bills from their two sons.

Thank you for being one of their angels! These boys need as many as they can get!


By the way, did you see that? I made more gray words. Just click on them. Go ahead.

MudPie's Debut Launch and Thanksgiving!

Photobucket


I just listed two adorable sets for the debut launch of MudPie Boytique!!! I'm venturing out into the world of BOYS! I figured my little man would appreciate that, so he doesn't have to wear his sister's dresses!

You can search "MPB Boutique" to see what myself and the rest of these awesome designers have listed!

Here's a little peek:






I also just listed two adorable sister sets for Thanksgiving, modeled by Amelya and the adorable Jenny Lynn. The girls had so much fun doing this together! I see many more of these in the future!

Fall Fun!

Wow! I can't belive I've let all summer go by without updating my blog! It's been a busy one, I've had something listed almost every week, and I'm finally getting a rhythm going to my business here.

I'm having fun in MemoryLane (but keep your eyes peeled for some changes coming soon! Hint: start looking for CherryLane!). I'm honored to have been invited to join the talented ladies of WisteriaLane for their Duets guest launch. I teamed up with my good friend and fellow designer Julie, of Magical*Hope*Boutique, and together we created two of the cutest sets you'll ever see!!! Both are listed right now, search "WisteriaLane Duet" to find them along with so many more amazing designs!

I've got about 4 more launches coming this month, and I'll be busy creating some detailed and fun Christmas sets as well!
