Have I told you about my new obsession with
Polyvore? I've heard of it before, but only started playing around with it last week or so because they were hosting a giveaway. Well now, I am totally addicted. Polyvore = paper dolls for grown-ups. It is amazing, even for those of us who don't have any sense of style. You can follow me
here. After Ava is in bed, you can either find me on Polyvore or
Pinterest.
Whenever I am looking for a gift for someone, I head over to
Etsy first to get ideas. I would much rather give a handmade gift than a mass produced thing of a sorts. Sometimes mass produced is the only option, but if I can help it, I try to go to Etsy.
Seeing as Christmas is coming up I spend lots of time screen shopping there. So it's no wonder I found two items for myself....Well, for Ava.
I have mentioned Jessi over at
Naptime Diaries loads of times, but not sure if I have mentioned her
Etsy Shop. Today, I made my first purchase there, an Advent Calendar. The thing I miss most about home and growing up in the South is all of our traditions. From 4th of July to Memorial day and Christmas Day. Most families have their own special tradition for each and every holiday. I cannot think of one tradition they have here in South Africa. So, it is my responsibility to create our own Scheepers' traditions. I bought this gorgeous advent calendar even though Ava may be to small to participate, we will always know, the advent calendar came from her 1st Christmas.
Not sure where I came across this print, but I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. It will fit perfectly in Ava's room. Hopefully, the print arrives at my sister's house in time for my mom to bring it back from the states. If not, we will have to brave the South African postal service...
Oh Pinterest, how I love thee. Look at what I found this weekend. I will actually make this, well Johan, will actually make this for Ava... Super awesome, uh?
Working on Johan's PC is killing me. I NEED my MAC! I should probably just go to sleep now...Wait, let me just check Pinterest one more time, I'd hate to miss out on something fabulous.
