Sheep & Shopping...

I know that is a "Baaaa"d blog title, but I've got no creative juices tonight!!!

Last Sunday, Annistyn wore her sheep dress for the first time. I thought the yellow was really cute on her! After her nap, I took her to the yard for a couple pictures. She really didn't want to cooperate though.





She just wanted to be silly.



And here she is... her full personality showing...



She finally stopped and smiled as we were headed back inside to get some play clothes on.




Sunday night she wore this cute outfit...



I wasn't sure how I would feel about the halter on her, but I loved it!!!



This brand fits her really good. It's Picture Me by Austin and Ashley. It's not a very expensive brand, but they have some really cute stuff. Annistyn is so petite, she is hard to fit sometimes. This brand seems to be small cut.

Another spring/summer outfit...



That picture is terrible, but you will see more of that outfit later I am sure... especially during our upcoming beach trip! Yay! I can't wait to take Annistyn back to the beach. Last year she was only 3 months during our beach vacation.







What a sweet baby! Man, my arms look fat in that last picture!!! I have lost 22 lbs. since January, so I am really excited about going! I haven't weighed what I weigh now since before we got married!!! It's like Christmas again as I pull out all my long lost clothes that I haven't worn in so long. I call it the "cob web" section of my closet. Some of it looks to "young" to wear, but most of it is still great. It's amazing how different I feel now that all that weight is gone. I have more energy and a much brighter outlook on life. Who would have thought?! Now let's see if I can keep it off... that's the hard part!

Now here's the latest edition of "Shopping with Shae"...

First, a word of advice.
I am probably the only dummy who never thought about doing this, but I was ordering Annistyn a personalized beach chair/umbrella set today (yes, I know...) and I got to the check-out page and it asked for promo code or coupon. I decided to quickly pull up another window and I googled "promo code" for the particular company. I found about 10 different choices and the one I ended up using was 20% off my order, which saved about $7. I know $7 isn't that much, but if I would remember to search for coupons every time I was ordering something, I could save A LOT of money! I'm always up for a deal!!! I guess you've probably figured that out by now because I try to share my "ebay" finds.

This is my latest.



This wasn't that good of a deal... but $34 for a new with tags smocked swimsuit by Castles and Crowns isn't bad! They usually are $47 and up. It was a "Buy It Now or Best Offer" item. I made a $30 offer and they accepted. Now I wish I had gone lower!

Today I got in a new shipment of really cute bags!

I have these in stock right now...


Alabama/ Bulldog Colors


Auburn Colors...
Blue/ Brown...
Brown/ Pink...
I also have lime green/pink and I can get about 15 different color combos. They look really cute monogrammed! They are all $10 each.



I also will be placing another order in the next week. These are brand new and are so stinking cute!!!


They are the laminated fabric ones, so they wipe clean. I know that is a good thing when you have kids.





They are $30 each and available in about 15 different patterns.


This "Alabama" themed one is not laminated, but is super cute!


Lunch boxes too! I can get these laminated wipe/clean ones (lots of styles/patterns, including houndstooth and crimson)....


Or these cute quilted ones in a variety of colors...

Lunch boxes are $12.

I am working on a website right now. I am going to put all this stuff on there. I am working on getting some lines of children's clothing including a couple of smocked lines. I am sad that we don't have any stores like this in our area and until I can afford to open one, we're going to reside online. I love a good deal and I know everyone else does too! I will let you know when it's ready, in the meantime, let me know if you like any of these fun bags! Between Mother's Day and graduation, I bought several pieces to keep as gifts. Such great prices!!!

Anyway, I am so tired and my eyes are puffy from all this pollen! I'm off to bed!!! :)
