NatGeo Pictures

I received an email from my cousin sharing some shots that NatGeo photographed. These are absolutely beautiful. The frozen cherries really caught my eye.







The way this house is positioned on this rock.










The way the waves are rolling in.










I like how the white cat just simply
draws your eye to him.

Wooden Art


I enjoy decorating unfinished wooden trinket boxes. You can do so much to them. You can add embellishments, decoupage and paint them. And that's just the start. I bought my little wooden trinket box at my local Michael's crafts store. I painted it a light blue and added little light pink roses to it. I decided the top needed a little something. So I handcrafted some little roses out of clay and filled it with some resin. To finish the inside off I cut some pieces of pink felt and glued them to the inside of the wooden box. Viola! A pretty little wooden box.

Handmade Scented Candles

This is a pear-berry scented large size candle. I decorated the front using polymer clay. I then attached my handmade gift tag and attached a silk rose to finish this wonderful gift off.

These smaller candles were fun to make. I made two peach and a pear-berry. I handcrafted the reindeer out of polymer clay. Each has it's own gift tag and I attached a silk rose to each one. All ready for their new homes.


I absolutely love scented candles. I must admit I enjoy making my own when time permits. I can scent and color them however I choose. I enjoy giving them as gifts to family and friends.

A Tasty Little Treat From Ittybits Kitchen- the Crepe-Tastic Cake!


My chef (aka "hubs") definitely knows his way around the kitchen. Not only does he know to make gnocchi from scratch but he can make a killer crepe cake from scratch as well. This cake is made from handmade crepes, homemade filling (can't reveal the secret) and fresh strawberries with a light caramel drizzle on top. It's very light so once you're done eating a piece you don't get that "I shouldn't of eaten that" feeling.

Beautiful Night Sky Painting



It's moments like this that God shows how He can turn a blank canvas into a beautiful piece that we can't help but to admire. We took these this past weekend when there some huge thunder heads over the mountains and coming our way.

Despicable Me Kid's Movie


Agnes and her new fluffy unicorn that Gru won for her at a fair.


One of the minions.

By far the best kid's movie I have seen in a long time. From the time it started until the movie finished it had me in stitches as well as wiping the tears from my eyes. I absolutely loved Agnes (the youngest sister.)

October is here! - From Ittybit's Kitchen



What a great way to start the Halloween fun! Some homemade shortbread cookies made from scratch. These cute pumpkin cookies have been decorated with colored fondant and colored royal icing.
