I'm sweet on sweetestelle.....

My latest order from the awesome shop sweetestelle. I loooooooove this shop! So much so that I could easily buy one of every listing if I didn't watch myself. This time around I got some awesome striped cupcake liners (my favourite), some paper straws and the wonderful Jennifer threw in some Jumbo Candy Hearts too. She's awesome! I'm not even sure what I'm going to do with all of this but I do have a few birthday parties coming up in the next few months so I'm sure I'll put them to good use. Eeeee, can't wait!

 Isn't this ornament awesome! I love it! I've said it before and I'll say it again, I sorta have a thing for bottle brush trees. This is too much fun. It was made by Jennifer of the lovely blog The Pretty Purveyor. You can find the DIY steps here.

Elf on the Shelf for 2012....

 I've only just heard about Elf on the Shelf. I'm completely enthralled by it and think my kids would love it. Definitely a tradition I want to start next year. Now were to get one, hmmm...... If you know where I can get my hands on one in Canada or via the world wide web please let me know! Thank you!
