BABY ITEMS

I have been working long and hard this summer!  It's almost school time again! 
Things will probably slow down in the next few weeks.  I will be getting adjusted to waking up REAL early, so I won't be able to stay up into the wee hours of the morning.
Here are a few of our baby items that I just created.  I am a sucker for pink and brown!

HALLOWEEN

Ever since my girls were little, Halloween has always been a favorite.  We like to get together with family and friends, have a back yard bonfire, roast marshmallows and hot dogs, and just have a good old time!
Getting ready for that upcoming black and orange holiday!

Let me know your opinion of these, please!

Ultimate Baby Shower Gift

This has been a popular item amongst friends and family.  Whenever they have a need for a special baby shower item, this is what they like to do.  (Sorry, but it seems that it's always girly things!)

CHEZ WHIMSY HISTORY

This blog is set up for letting everyone out there know about CHEZ WHIMSY.  I would like to chat about my cutesy items, but I also like to share experiences along the way in this great journey of life.
Chez Whimsy started out as a little dream of mine.  I have always loved creating things!
Growing up, I was always intrigued by anything that was personalized, even if it was just a painted name on a canvas.  The idea of being able to create as a full time job would be a dream come true.  Even though it hasn't gotten quite that far, yet... I am still plugging away!
It all started with these pillowcases and towel.  


Although these were (and still are) a BIG hit, I felt the need to make them better.  So, in comes the embroidery machine. 
I wanted them to look professional! Well, easier said than done!  I am still trying to perfect this craft!  This is a whole lot harder than it looks.  But, along the way, I have really enjoyed creating cutesy things for those precious newborn babies, toddlers, and children.  So, right now, we are focusing mainly on that.  Until of course, the road takes another turn and I am headed in a different direction! 
We recently placed our items on ETSY.  It's been a slow start and I have put countless hours into it, but I just have to keep trying!  I love this!

California

Just got to visit the West Coast!
We had an awesome time in California.  Visited Disneyland, the great San Diego Zoo, Hollywood Blvd., Dodgers' Stadium, and finally Laguna Beach!



The highlight of this trip, however, was my niece's wedding!  What a wonderful time we had!
We were able to be a part of a traditional Asian wedding ceremony! 








Here is the groom trying to bargain for his bride.
The wedding party is having him do ALL sorts of crazy things!

 
Finally, he convinces them that he is her one and only!




We later made our way to LAGUNA BEACH! 



Beautiful Bride!


What a great trip we had!
Thanks to Leigh and Sean, we were able to see many wonderful sights!
We met some wonderful people - the Ie'swere amazing!
The bridal party was ROCKIN'!!!!
