Hi everyone! It’s Becky, one of the five Crafting Chicks! I am so excited to be back on this fun blog. I’ve done a couple posts in the past that have hopefully been helpful for all of you, but today I’m opening up and sharing a few of my favorite things.
When the dog bites;
When the bee stings
Since Mariel loves musicals, I thought I would start with that. 😉
Gift Ideas for Women:
I love chocolate, but not just any chocolate. These are Little Carmel Pretzel Bites, from V Chocolates, but I call them “HEAVEN”! My husband bought me some for Christmas a few years ago and he knows now that they are a must for my stocking, birthday, anniversary, and Mother’s Day. (Or whenever he needs out of the dog house!) I honestly hoard these and don’t share willingly. Try them and you’ll understand why!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE lip gloss. This stuff from Bath and Body Works is some of my favorite cause it has the mint infused in it so it gives you a nice minty smell. I also love the hint of color and the fact that it isn’t too pricey. With 2 girls around my house,it seems to disappear often.
A pair of nice (most likely expensive) jeans. I can’t tell you how a nice pair of jeans can make me feel. Do you think it’s silly? Then you need to go and try on a NICE pair of jeans. One that fits you like a glove and makes your lower half look great. Believe me and go get some. You will honestly thank me for it!
I was lucky enough to meet Lindsay, one of the lovely ladies behind the r house couture at a conference last summer. She is amazing. I love the fact that they were brought together because of adoption. Last Mother’s Day I got my necklace with my girls names and this year I told my husband that adding my 2-month-olds name would be a great Mother’s Day gift this year (hint, hint)! I have had so many compliments on my necklace and I love wearing my girls close to my heart!

What kind of crafty gal would I be if I didn’t mention my fantastic Silhouette SD? It is AH-maz-ing! Don’t tell, but my husband has been known to use it and {gasp} thinks it was well worth the money too. (I’m not sure he knows exactly how much it cost.) This machine can work wonders and I love it!
And I always love getting and iTunes gift card. I give these to people but never get them myself. I would love to get one so I could go crazy on all the fun music I want.
I also LOVE a good handbag. But not just any old handbag. I need style but FUNCTION is key. I love these bags from Fossil because they have great pockets for storing mom stuff like diapers and wipes, but they are stylish enough to make you forget that you have spit-up on your shirt.And, that’s a wrap!  Hope that gives you some fun gift ideas for Mother’s Day!
