The Alphabet ROCKS! A Little Bit "Grungy" T’s & Shoes for Kids & Babies
So, as the mom of a preschooler & toddler..I am growing tired of the ABC-stuff....primary colors...pastels..."A is for Apple..." - blah, blah, blah...
I am a BIG fan of the alphabet..especially T's & J's...but thought I'd step it up a notch with a more.., let's just say...ROCKIN' design.
It started with some shoes...
Followed by a boys' T....
and a little sum'thin for the ladies...
Custom "Kicks" by Keds
In real life...I am not much of a shoe person...in fact, I think I own 5 pairs....
- two sandals (I wear daily) - both strappy Tevas (better than barefoot...LOVE THEM!)
- 1 "fancy" shoe...simple black pump for weddings...and extra-special date nights.
- 1 gym shoe...aka: "pretending to go to the gym shoe"
- and....drum roll, please...my classic red converse sneaks. (I don't wear these shoes often - but they are really the only ones I am passionate about...because they scream "Traci").
With the launch of Zazzle's new Ked's shoe creation tool...I am suddenly a shoe-freak!
Today, I made a pair of cherry shoes, funky flower shoes, motivational shoes & modern daisy shoes.
Tonight, I will be working on "alligator foot" shoes...and "pretty princess shoes"...custom design requests from my kiddos....
I've never, ever been so shoe-addicted in my life...
Here are a few of my recent creations. Drop a line in the comments box if you have some other fun ideas....

Crazy for Guinea Pigs
I am not sure how it started, exactly. My daughter mentioned wanting a hamster for her 5th birthday a few months ago.
No offence to hamster lovers - but I am not a big fan. They are a little too delicate...too squirmy and I had visions of it running under our couch only to be lost forever....
So, I started searching for alternatives and found this article - about best "first pets" from one of my favorite parenting magazines. Now, I want a guinea pig more than my daughter does.
OMG - could they BE any CUTER?
I will be headed to the pet store shortly to pick up all of the piggy essentials - a cage, a pig cozy - sleeping tent, some veggies, and some accessories. A pig owner needs to accessorize! =)
I'll post pics of our piggy as soon...in the meantime, check out all of the fantastic guinea pig gear on Etsy.com

Help Me Decide…My Daughter’s 5th Birthday Shirt
I am planning my daughter's 5th birthday party as we speak. We are going to do a simple tea-party (if you can call 5 little girls, cupcakes, lemonade "tea" & a box of dress up clothes...simple). =)
I wanted to get my daughter a special tshirt for her big day and I have found dozens of shirts I love. Here are a few of my favorites from Etsy.com sellers. I would love to hear your favorites (or party tips) in the comments section.
A Chenille Birthday Cake from Green Apple Boutique
A bright "5" shirt from So Cheeky (with a matching hair bow).
A darling birthday top from K Bella Bambino
A sweet princess tank from Little Cupcakes
Or this Birthday Flower Shirt from the Plaid Giraffe
