Made with love

I have zero craftiness and lack patience to make something handmade.  To me, that very gift is the most loving, sweet thing someone can do.  I picture the effort to buy, and create.  Time is such a generous gift.  Jason and I have been given so many beautiful items and I wanted to take the moment to recognize those beautiful people  who created them and show our gratitude.

Holly Plunkett created these adorable letters that we love so much.  She is amazing. 

Crystal Sullivan AKA my best teacher friend made this and I so am taking it with me to the hospital to hang on our door.

Julie Williams a co-worker, friend and one of my shower hostesses created these adorable handmade burpies, onesie, and towel.  I love them all!

My best friend from middle school and high school has the most talented mom, Sandi.  She created these adorable matching bonnets and blankets.  I love them so much. 

Lanae, my bible study leader from last year made me this gorgeous blanket with matching hat.  It's very soft too.  She's such a sweet and godly woman.

A co-worker  Kim Sullivan, whom I love made this cute blankie.  You can't see it real well, but it has hints of green which make it just that much more special. 

When I left my job in Irving, I missed my kids and went back to visit them.  I met their new drama teacher Stephanie Ball and immediately fell in love with her.  She is fabulous!  And extremely talented.  She made me this fabulous blanket!  I love her. 

I work with such amazing and talented people and Mandy Ginn is no exception.  She made me these fabulous receiving blankets with matching burp clothes.  And notice that they are embroidered.  She is sooo much fun.  And sweet.  And wonderful. 

This blanket was made by Jason's adopted grandma Mickey.  We love her. 


My sissy Valerie made me this blanket for Lil Ethan.  I love how it is two sided with a ribbon detail.  Very fun.  She also hostessed my shower and made a very adorable and delicious cake.  Jack of all trades. 

Jason's grandma "Honey" gave us these gorgeous handmade blankets made by Jason's second cousin Peggy. 

My sister in law Teresa, made this cute baby size blanket for lil Ethan.  He'll be so cute carrying it around. 

Jason's Aunt Patti is so amazing.  She is quite handy with a sewing machine and made me these cute receiving blankets and soft blanket for us.  We love her so much. 

My sissy, Cindy,  painted these for me and they are so precious.
