5 Minutes & 3 Ingredients to Cuteness!

Simple. CUTE. And cheap!

Target and Wal-Mart have the cutest little girl ruffle dresses, that are a knit material, so they are super comfy & cozy, too (big plus).

Of course, I like to "cute them up"!

Ingredients: Plain dress, ruffle trim & birdie applique from JaneSays

(and oooooh, check out the "extra 40% off" her REDUCED section!!)

Just iron on the applique...done! Next, sew on some cute ruffle trim (I used yellow & white gingham double layer trim) onto each shoulder strap....

Next thing you know....you have a walking dolly, in her pretty new dress!Good thing I got my photo op in....5 minutes later, her dress was full of peanut butter. Easy as pie....in 5 minutes!

Something else, easy on the eyes....HELLO owls!
Love Kraft paper...and I am going to use every single inch of this stuff!

See ya tomorrow for a fun giveaway!!

How CUTE is Little Miss Lily? And how is she getting so big so fast? Gosh time flies!! She is absolutely darling Shelly!

Okay, so I LOVE the paper. I won't be buying any though because I have oodles and gobs of paper just sitting here untouched!! Maybe next year I'll get around to using it?! HA!!

And the dress? DARLING! Gentry has a bright and happy green one from Wal Mart that I just love...but I have done nothing to it! I paired it with rainbow leg warmers before it got too hot, but no leg warmers when it is 93 at 8:00 AM and 116 or hotter by mid afternoon!!

Thanks for always sharing all your cute finds and fun creations!! You are a gem! Hope you and Lilybug are having a wonderful day!

L.O.V.E. I.T. So jealous of your creative eye when it comes to that stuff! I'm just glad I have your blog to go to if I need some crafty inspiration!

By the way -- love your sentiments below about Miss Lily getting older. Oh, how time flies way too fast. I couldn't agree more with everything you said.

How precious are those glittery little feet?!

This is so cute! Since seeing this, I keep searching for a plain old (cheap!) dress or t-shirt I could spruce up. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation!
