{fairy princess ella grace & lu-lu the kitten}

this fairy princess was caught in the act...picking fairy flowers for her mom. :)







and this is ella grace's new love, lu-lu. she could spend all day watching, chasing, petting this sweet little kitten. a big thanks goes out to our neighbors, Ms. Debbie and Mr. Reggie for "loaning" us your pet. you see, lu-lu isn't really ours...she just hangs out at our house after eating nice meals at her real home. that's my kind of pet! :)

send us some of your pictures to peddiegirl@yahoo.com, and we'll share what our shortbreaders have been up to! we're also gearing up for another {shortbread challenge}, so stay tuned.

{shortbread symposium II}

our {shortbread symposium II} was another success! a big "thank you" to all of the new, and returning attendees, and our models. unfortunately, as i was trying to delete just a few old images from my camera, i managed to accidentally delete most of the symposium pictures instead. oops!! i did salvage a few images of our models though.






here are a few images taken by a couple of our attendees. way to go girls! check out their blogs: http://nanasplace2007.blogspot.com/ http://thelawsonlingo.blogspot.com/.

if you have any pictures that you would like posted on the blog, let us know. and stay tuned for our next {half-baked} challenge!
