My daughter is a Princess!!

Who isn’t struggling financial right now?!!  With Halloween around the corner, David and I were a little worried about what to do for our sweet little Alie.  She is ALL THINGS PRINCESS right now.  We found a few cute princess costumes for $20.  Which is still pretty steep for a poorly made costume.  Have you ever noticed how cheap the material is or how cheaply they are thrown together.  Last Halloween she was a little Halloween Ballerina.  I made her an orange and black tutu and paired it with a cute Halloween shirt and a pair of black tights.  My husband works at Grand Canyon University, so we attended the GCU Fall Festival last year.  Alie the Halloween Ballerina, was a TOTAL HIT. SO….I think, I can make her a tutu princess!  As I looked for inspiration online, the concept morphed a little into a long tutu princess dress.  I used a shirt she already had.  I made a long white and pink tulle tutu and attached it to the top.  I stitched stain ribbon on the shirt’s sleeves and collar.   I attached satin ribbon over the area, then I attached the skirt to the top.  Since I am ALL ABOUT the rosettes right now, I made a BUNCH!  I glued them onto the ribbon waist.  I also made a bouquet of different rosettes to go over  some embroidery that was on her shirt.  Then I attached some ribbons to the shirt and a large ribbon in the back as a tie.  She LOVES it.  I LOVE IT!  It was so much fun making it for her.  I feels so sweet knowing I made that for her.  OH and the total cost was $14!!  Did you know Dollar Tree sells tulle and ribbons!??  I got the pink tulle at Walmart, 65 yards for $6!

This is Alie’s Halloween Tutu I made her last year.


Alie’s Mommy made Princess Costume!












So cute right?  Now, I can’t wait to make her something next year!  My hubby knows all I want for Christmas is a sewing machine.  I can’t wait to make pretty stuff for our princess!  I would love to hear what you think?  Thanks for stopping by!

SO YUMMY Pumpkin Bars

Posted on by Posted in fall, recipe, Recipes and Food 17 Comments

This is going to be the EASIEST Terrifically Tasteful Thursday recipe post ever!! Which means if y’all follow this, it will be SUPER easy for y’all too! 

Next time you’re at the grocery store, if you see this
BUY IT!!!!!
The bars were DELICIOUS!!! There is a recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake on the box as well. Now, I have my very own Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe that is a FAMILY FAVORITE. BUT, I am DEFINITELY trying this one out too!

SO YUMMY! The crust is gingerbread cookies!!
I could have added some whip cream and sprinkled some nutmeg to make it pretty. I didn’t intend on this being a recipe post. BUT after the first bite I decided I HAD to share this one!! If you try it I would love to hear what you think. Thanks for stopping by today! :)
