The Gift of Sleep through Pampers and $100 Gift Card Giveaway!

This is part of a sponsored promotion with Latina Mom Bloggers and Pampers. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
As most mothers will tell you bringing home a new baby is joyous and demanding. If you might as well forget about having a full night sleep because you will never get one again. When I first brought my son home I had not slept for two days and their was no sleep in my near future. However, with out the help of my mom and mother-in law I could have never gotten through those few weeks. 
 
Now that I am expecting my second child and have few friend also expecting new babies. I am excited to share with you the new Pampers gift of sleep campaign.  Pampers is the first brand I used with my first child and it never let me down. Now I am able to give the same gift to a deserving mother who is expecting like me! Since I love pampers I wanted to share it with her too.

Halloween Tag day 15

Its that time again, I can't believe we are almost half way through. I being using Tim Holtz distress paint a lot lately and I love the marveling effect it does when applying it to the tag. I like the fact that the paints wont mix or turn brown when mixed. So you can try to mix as much as you want but they will still be two different colors.

Day 11 of Halloween tags

I've been inspired by spiders lately, even tho I am not a big fan of them. I don't enjoy their legs on me. However, you will never see me scream or run away from them because I have too much pride. As a teenager I made myself pick up a daddy long legs and hold it, even tho every bone in my body wanted to scream just to show that I am not scared. So in memory of the wonderful spiders I have made this tag.

Halloween Tag

It was a busy Sunday for me and getting use to posting everyday can be a little difficult. However I do have my tag. I decided to do a mini spider Halloween tag in a frame. I wanted something that I can use my many mini frames I have gotten at Michael's and to display on my counter. I don't know why I have not done more of them. It seems if it does not have glitter it looks boring, hehe.
