Princess P Is Taking A Break...

Ya and Papa Terry got me...

A hot pink tutu swimsuit and...

hot pink and white polka dot diva shades...

J'adore!

I began practicing my
Princess P poses right away...

and my lounging look...
(with a pout, to boot!)

This princess is ready for Hawaii!
(Too bad I have to wait 4 more months!
Guess I will just continue to practice lounging
here at home...where it's SNOWING!!!)

The party's over...
and I am pooped!
Well, to tell you the
truth, mommy is and
we are going to take a
few days off from blogging
to rejuvenate. Mommy and
I have so much to tell you
about my birthday party,
what it's like to be 3,
and so much more.
So just hang tight folks
and we will be back in a few!

xxoo,
Paisley and
her mommy

A Birthday Necklace...

Eliza's Birthday Necklace...

A rose, circles, and a
few vintage buttons~
Ooh la la!

As I mentioned on Friday
mommy and I went to Houston
to celebrate my pal Eliza's 5th birthday.
In honor of her special day, my mommy
crafted her very first felt necklace for E.
I was NOT too helpful when it came time
to try it on for size, but I did comment on how
much I liked it. I wouldn't mind one of
these for my birthday in 19 days...
HINT! HINT! HINT!
We sure hope E enjoys wearing and
playing dress up with her necklace!

p.s Mommy had to come up with
something to craft for my pals birthdays...
Last year she made them all birthday
wands so she HAD to come up with
something handmade for them this year, too!

Wordfilled Wednesday: Poetry To Our Ears...

A few of our fave family shots
from our recent holiday 2009
photo shoot with our lovely pal Dore...
Oh, how we love thee!

p.s. these aren't even the pics we
chose for our holiday card! There were so
many to choose from this year!

How Do I Love Thee? ~Sonnet 43 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends
of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely,
as men might strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn
from Praise. I love thee with the passion
put to use In myold griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,
–I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!
–and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death."

Mommy and I have watched HBO's
Classical Baby Poetry show the past 2 days,
and we both were so moved by the
reading of this glorious poem...
Gwyneth Paltrow recites this poem
and it so touching along with the
graphics and classical music soundtrack...
It moved mommy to tears!

p.s. We think this is a fabulous introduction to poetry
and we highly recommend it to all our artsy fartsy friends!

Melting Mommy's Heart...

Tonight mommy asked me

what my favorite thing
about today was and
what made me
so happy today...
(I've been in a really good mood)
I responded: YOU!
How could this not
melt your heart???
