Samantha Lee's Stitcheries

So, I have decided to re-create Samantha Lee's Stitcheries in a new way.

I will be embroidering monograms, intials, fancy font names on many items such as baby bibs, baby blankets, beach towels, tote bags, tshirts, jeans, sweatshirts and more.

As the business grows, more fonts and pictures will be added.

Items can be supplied or I will purchase them.

Please keep me in mind for personalized gifts here are some great ideas!

baby showers (bibs, face cloths, blankets...)
birthdays (sweatshirts, tshirts, beach towels, tote bags...)
leaving for college (sweatshirts, tshirts, shower towels, tote bags, pillowcases...)

Here are a few pictures of what I was working on today.

Apple Picking at Smolak Farms

Bright and early Sunday morning, we headed off to Smolak Farms to do some apple picking. Boy was it chilly out, when we first left. This place gets mobbed so our goals were to get there early and out of there early before everyone else got out of bed and church. They were also have a festival with lots of things to do for the kids. Did I mention the price, this was ridiculous! 1/2 peck of apples $20 and a moon bounce for $4, OMG!!

Papa offers shuttle service to the girls!



My girls are the apples of my eyes, what would I do without them.





Since pumpkins weren't on our agenda for today, as it is too early before Halloween. The girls stopped and posed with them!



They have a small petting zoo and playground area for kids. Here is Olivia getting up close with one of the goats.



For a brief moment, the girls thought about being farmers....



We had fun on the hayride that takes you throughout the entire farm.



The girls enjoyed trying to find the perfect apples, I think they threw more on the ground. Needless to say our bag was very overflowing and a few extras in our wagon, as I couldn't believe the price!!





All and all it was a fun few hours, the girls picked out some mini pumpkins to take home and boy was it getting crowded as we were leaving to go home and watch the football game.

Santa's Village

What a great day we had at Santa's Village with our friends Fawn & Skylar. Although a long car ride, it was really a great day and I would definately do it again. The girls had fun finding all the Elfabet Elves throughout the village and receiving a diploma from Elf University.



Olivia pats Santa's reindeers and later they played reindeer games.



Olivia gets her free reindeer ring from the blacksmith, Lexi got one too, but she was riding in her buggy and wouldn't get out for many pics.



Here is the traditional picture that families have been taking for years.



Olivia hangs out on the corner of Ho Ho Ho Blvd



Olivia gives her long list to Santa as well as tells Santa my sister would like a SpongeBob ds game for my ds! Something seemed wrong about that.



Olivia takes us for a ride in an Old Time car



Lexi rides in back having a blast



Here I am as sweet as a cupcake!




And the gingerbread girls



Here is Lexi getting as close as possible to Santa

School Days

On Wednesday, Olivia started second grade, she was so excited she was up very early with me during my quiet time in the morning. Here are a few pics of her first day!




And, today my baby started preschool, she will only be attending two days a week for a few hours a day. But today she got to go to school and meet her teacher and the other kids in her classroom. She was so excited she could fit and sit inside her cubby locker!

Here are a few of Lexi's pics! Those are her Minnie Mouse shoes on, sparkly and pink!
