A fashionista in the making...

I don't know if this is true of toddlers in general, or just my toddler, but my son is a little obsessed with shoes. My shoes in particular, women's shoes in general. I'm not sure whether to be concerned by this or not. He's actually given me fashion advice on my footwear (which has turned out to be impeccably correct every time). He's fond of his own shoes, to be sure, but he really likes putting mine on and taking them for a spin. So it shouldn't have come as a surprise to me that he wanted to try on my sister's Betty Boop heels when we were visiting my parents a few weeks ago. He did pretty well in them, despite the height! Well, in any case, his (hopefully passing) interest has provided plenty of blackmail material for the future!

I should add that he doesn't particularly get into my husband's shoes that much. Occasionally he will try them on as we are putting on shoes at the door, but mostly he goes for my shoes instead. I guess shiny bronze flats beat out boring black Rockports any day! (Either that, or my son is basically just a magpie in disguise).



I made this card in a hurry for a friend who had her birthday this past month. It is an easy layout that I've taken to using--I just changed up the color combinations a few times. It is such an easy card to customize--just change the sentiment, or color scheme, and it looks quite different! I'm pretty pleased with how this one came out. I've started remembering to stamp the envelopes too, so even the outside was purty! This is another great example of how to make great cards with just paper, stamps and ink!
