let's get this party started!

I'm always up for a party, aren't you?

That's why I'm joining in 5 Minute for Mom's Ultimate Blog Party happening NOW through March 27th!


You'll want to join in, too, because there are LOTS of prizes! (What's a party without some presents, right?) And, one of the best parts is you get to meet lots (and I mean LOTS) of new bloggers along the way!

So, let's get this party started!!

If you're a regular around here, thanks for your support and encouragement that keeps me blogging! If you're visiting for the first time from 5 Minutes for Mom, welcome to...

~ Blue Eyed Blessings ~


a place where blessings abound,

creativity is inspired,

and organization is an obsession!

I'm Heidi, a former elementary school teacher and now stay-at-home momma to two blue eyed blessings.

I blog about many things.


Like the sweet moments I get to capture while being with my kids...

And my love for creativity, such as scrapbooking, card making, kid crafts, and decorating my home.

I also enjoy sharing my passion for creating, and just recently started a Monthly Craft Challenge for other bloggers to be able to share their ideas and inspire each other! Our next challenge is BUTTONS! We'll be linking up on Thursday, April 2nd, so come on back to join us!

I'm a regular for blogging on Tackle it Tuesday, Works for Me Wednesday, Wordless Wednesday & Things I Love Thursday (each of these links will show you my tackles, tips, pictures, and loves).

I also enjoy participating in Muffin Tin Monday & Friend Makin' Monday where I've learned a lot about many other bloggers...some that have become great blogging buddies!

And just recently I started linking up to Kid Friendly Friday to get motivated with doing some fun crafts and activities with my children!

That's a little about me in a nutshell.

Oh yea! Remember when I said there were prizes at this party??

Head on over HERE to check out a list of all the great prizes! There are so many things that I would love to receive (in fact I would be content if I won anything), so I feel a little strange about picking my own presents, but they asked us to, so my top three would include:

#89 - $100 gift card to Home Goods provided by HG Openhouse
#19, 21, & 22 - $50 Target gift card provided by Shoot-Me-Now, Agoosa, & Beginner Baby Blog
#109 - $30 Stampin' Up! prize pack provided by PENSIEVE

And, of course these all caught my eye as well
(in no particular order)...

#8 - A personalized name dot variety pack from Stuck on You.
#39 - Handmade Perpetual Calendar, Lunch Tin, & 10 Birthday Cards by Amy at Ordinarily Extraordinary
#65 - Girly Scrapbooking Embellishment Kit provided by Wani
#76 - place mat, melamine plate or lunchbox of your choice by Lollipop Papers
#91 - $25 Target gift card provided by Mummy Deals
#118 - $25 Old Navy gift card provided by Manic Mother
#123 - $20 gift card to Kohl's provided by The Grotto
USC10 - The Big Pack by Mabel's Labels
USC11 - See Kai Run baby/toddler shoes provided by Traveling with Baby
INTL61 - $30 gift credit to Amazon.com provided by Robynn's Ravings

Head on over for the party and eat some cake and ice cream for me why don't you! I'm trying to stay "on plan" these days...

Hey, there! Just stopping in from the party. Your blog is really cute and so are your little blessings. I'll stop by later---maybe I can learn some organizational skills from you! I'm creative, but very messy. Blessings to you!

Glad to find you at the party. I read that you are obsessed about organizing. I don't have much talent in that area...and our house shows it...I'm drowning in disorganization (is that a real word?).

Blog Party Woohoo! Talk about fashionably late, right, sorry. I have been sick which left me in a fog all last week, so I am still trying to make my rounds. Better late than never I figured. Anyway, hope you had a great week at the UBP. Hope to see you again sometime!
