Will today be the day?

So, tonight I try to start fresh.  Although it is quite late at night, this is me attempting to write on my blog!  While the hubby is away, I tend to stay up super late!
Last night aired the episode of Tori& Dean HSH that I have been waiting months for!  Liam's 3rd birthday party.  What was particularly important about this episode?  Well, I had the greatest thing ever (so far) happen to me.  Tori Spelling LOVED my SuperYou superhero shirts so much, she wanted them for Liam to wear for his birthday party.  So, at her request, I made Liam a his own superhero shirt to wear...and of course I couldn't leave Stella out!  So I made one for her too!  At the time I sent them I had no idea they would be filmed for tv!  I found out the night before his party!  I was shocked to say the least.
So, now, not only where my shirts filmed for tv...they were then photographed and featured in 3 magazines!  Two issues of Us Weekly and the COVER of Star Magazine!  Look at cute little Stella!

Doesn't she look adorable!  Now I know it was Liam's party, but who could you resist a cute girl!
So, needless to say, after watching monday nights episode, I am on cloud 9.
And in celebration of this new found exhilaration, I have decided to do a giveaway!

Tutus - All the Craze!

I was reading in the recent People magazine and was surprised to learn that tutus are becoming quite a popular fashion trend, outside of the "costume" and "dress-up" norm.

Seeing as how this is becoming quite a popularity, I am hoping everyone will take an interest and try to follow this new fashion trend!

Tutus are no longer considered a "play" item and can truly dress up any outfit!

I am in the process of making some Fall inspired tutus. Please check out my website at www.lehlashop.etsy.com in the next couple of weeks as I will be posting new items!

Happy shopping!

Red River Moms Short Story Contest

Well, I just received a phone call from the Shreveport Times and was told that I won the Short Story contest that I had entered.

I cannot believe that I won!!!  I have never won anything before!  

If you would like to read my story you can either pick up a copy of the August issue of Red River Moms or you can read below.  I hope you all like it!

Ella Grace and her garden

Hi!  My name is Ella Grace.   Today my family and I are going to plant a garden and I am really excited!  My Mommy and Daddy said that if we plant our own garden, we can grow our own vegetables all summer long!

Let’s see, we have some lettuce, cucumber and pepper seeds!  We even have some tomato plants!

My Daddy shows me how to rake the dirt and get it ready for the seeds.  He says that the best way to plant the seeds is to plant them in a row.  We are even going to plant some flowers so that the garden looks pretty.

We made some labels to put into the ground so that we would know where we planted each vegetable. 

It is my job to water the garden every day.  This will help the seeds grow into plants.  In a few weeks the seeds will grow into seedlings.  My Daddy says that a seedling is a young plant.  He says I am kind of like a seedling! 

I also make sure my garden gets plenty of sunshine.  Plants like to be in the sun.   This also helps them grow to be big, strong plants.

Look at my garden now!  Can you believe all of this grew from those little seeds?

Everyday my mommy and I go out to the garden and pick some vegetables.  I get to help her make a salad for dinner.   My mommy says there is something special about eating the vegetables that we grew ourselves.  I think they taste really yummy!

I can’t wait until we can grow another garden next year!

Girls Night Out

Well, last night my girlfriends and I all went out for a girls' night out.  We had dinner at Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro on the boardwalk.  Ahh...the beach bum martini is the best!!!  

Dinner was great we all had good fun and good talks!  After dinner we did a little shopping until it was time to head to the movie theater.  Gotta love it when everything is in one place!

We went to go see "The Proposal".  OMG!!!  What a great movie!  I haven't laughed like that in a long time.  I was breathless with laughter and tears were streaming down my face!

And then we headed to the "girlie" store which again was a barrel of laughs!

All in all I had a wonderful night and realized once again that moving to Louisiana was so good for me because I met and made such wonderful friends.
