I {heart} faces ~ Hugs & Kisses

this week's challenge at I Heart Faces is Hugs & Kisses...
I took this cute picture of Logan and Courtney when they went to Sadie Hawkins...

It really was such a sweet picture captured right towards the end of pre-dance pictures...
I love the innocence of it. The two of them seemed to have a wonderful time just talking and laughing...in their own little world...and then he just leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. They really are so sweet together <3

And the {winner is}.....

Making the World Cuter ~ One {Pinterest} Project at a Time

Kurt asked if I would get a baby gift for a co-worker who just had their first baby {a girl}...
I asked if he minded if I made something that I saw on Pinterest? He was like "sure!"
In a matter of 20 minutes...I had two baby brain squeezers made for the little cutie patootie!
all the flowers were made using ribbon I had in my ribbon stash and I had the two elastic pieces leftover from making Courtney's hair thingie for Sadie Hawkin's...I say this was a very "green" baby gift!
enjoy <3
