New to my Etsy Shop!

Hello everyone!

Long time no see. I know. Life gets busy and it's hard to sit down and actually write about the things I'm working on BUT today I'm updating to show you all a few new items I've added to my Etsy shop. Two of these booties were actually part of a custom order but they turned out so darling that I decided to list them in case anyone else was interested!

First up are the custom mascot/logo booties! This pair was made for the Red Sox and what great timing with them in the World Series! If you didn't already know I'm actually a Red Sox fan myself but I've been really bad about watching the games lately ;) #stillafan

And with that same listing I showed a few more pictures of other custom pairs that I've done as examples. Fun fact about these Notre Dame booties is that the gold thread I used (which is beautiful but a pain in the butt to use!) is actually from my great grandmother!

Sorry for the out of focus iPhone picture but I had to share these too because they're some of my all time favs because they're for Sacred Heart!

The next listing is for these koala booties. They actually are going out to Australia but they are so stinking cute they'd be great for any baby here too.

And the last new bootie design is for...monsters! Apparently monster fashion is a thing...who knew? And Fendi is up this is trend too with a bag starting at just $4,450. Christmas presents anyone ;) 

All jokes aside I really do love this pair of booties. They're definitely non-traditional and would be so fun for a boy (yay boy items!!!) or an awesome baby girl :)

The last new item in the store is a self-inking custom stamp. I've been having so much fun with making my labels pretty when I ship things out that I figured I should probably make a listing for them. They're perfect for a wedding or Christmas present :)

This sample stamp is heading over to my sister and JJ soon...for JJ's birthday present. I'm sure he's going to be thrilled ;) and I'm sorry for spoiling the surprise! #marriedlifepresents

So there you have it! What do you think? 

I'm thinking maybe I should improve my writing skills...perhaps less smilie faces and hashtags? Hmmm  maybe not :)

Relaunching Bibity Bobity Boo

Hello everyone! As many of you all know, I started Bibity Bobity Boo a few years ago selling baby booties. Well, when I went to Italy last summer, I put my shop on "Vacation Mode" and with all the craziness of the past year in school I haven't gotten it set back up.

But...I've got it all set back up now and it's ready to go!

I have all the old styles...

And a few new ones. These are in the "Pumped Up Kicks" collection. They are a lower cost option without losing any style! They feature bright and bold patterns. Each style is only available in a limited number of booties so styles will circulate through periodically.

And the "Mismatched" collection! They feature bright and bold patterns "mismatched" together. The outside of each bootie is quilting cotton and the inside is the softest polar fleece. Each style is a unique look!

As always, the booties come in a takeout box for easy gifting...

...but I've updated the logo a bit more!

And the new big addition that I'm SO excited about are custom name art paintings.

Which are fun for both nursery and kid's rooms AND for college and sorority themes!



So head on over and check it out:

And as a P.S...here is a behind the scenes peek at the photo shoot I did for the new baby booties!

We are lucky enough that our back yard backs up to the golf course so we get to enjoy this gorgeous view!

Stay Awake!

I have a daily devotional book that I read every day and sometimes it surprises me how spot on the reflections can be. I thought I'd share this one because it was exactly what I was thinking the other day.

Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. 

-Matthew 24:42

"Some think these words apply only to our final moments, when God comes to lead us into the joy of resurrected life.

Well, we certainly want to be prepared for that.

But there are so many other times when God comes to us as he reveals his love throughout our daily lives.

An unexpected call from a cherished friend,

the experience of God's presence in our hearts,

the sound of beautiful music:

All these gifts reveal God's love for us.

We can make our own list, of course, but the point is the same: 

to be awake to the ways in which God comes to us every day.

Life is flush with many gifts, but we'll miss them if we're asleep to what life offers.

And so Jesus tells us to stay awake. If we miss the gifts, we miss the loving presence of the God who gives them."

-Fr. Kenneth E. Grabner, C.S.C.

P.S. All of the pictures are from a trip to the lake with the Morgans this summer for the short bit when Abigail and I were both home!
