Winner and TOP 3: Challenge No. 124

Welcome, bloggers!
Before we get to the business at hand, I'd like to share some exciting news about my little family! We've grown by one! lol I became a first-time grandmother last Wednesday! I meant to share that yesterday but I was in such a rush I clean forgot! Can you believe it? I'm just so thrilled to be a granny! lol Here's a peek at my new love. This is a picture my daughter took of him when she was alone with him for the first time after all the fuss. I. Love. This. Picture!
Doesn't he look like he's smirking? lol I just laughed out loud for real when I saw it! I'm getting a huge laugh at my daughter's expense. I mean, so far, he's been a very good baby. Not a crier but she's breast feeding and she can't keep up with his appetite! lol Plus, I am quietly amused at how often she changes his outfit throughout the day. I am reminded of her playing with dolls when she was little. I had to ask her if she enjoyed playing dress-up with her new real doll and she said she loved it because he was just so cute in everything! lol
So back to business... we had a wonderful turnout with a whopping 268 entries for our last challenge!

Anything Goes Challenge No. 124

Happy midweek, crafty bloggers! Boy howdy! I almost missed the challenge this week! Ha! I thought it was Monday. That's what happens when you lose a day and jump ahead by an hour! lol I was crashed to my bed all day yesterday with who knows what! I thought it was a stomach flu but then just like that, the fever went away! But while I had the fever, I thought I was gonna die! lol I just love to exaggerate but for reals this time, I'm telling the truth. I felt awful! Gosh! At 55, I hope I'm not pregnant! :p lol So I completely lost my Monday and I can't get on schedule on account of the whole spring forward each spring! I wish they'd stop with that foolishness! But you're not here to listen to my whining! lol
Anyway, this week, we have the super fabulous The Paper Nest Dolls with us!
