NO, YOU DID NOT! THEY ARE AMAZING AMBER!
I honestly am always inspired by your projects and that you make everything look so easy. What is up with that? It's not fair for the rest of us. But, because, well because they are so STINKIN CUTE I will have to try them out ASAP. BUT, as usual, I'm sure I will have a difficult time. Wish you lived closer, and I mean that for many other reasons besides this new fun project! You are amazing and they are adorable. One question though, pink? Aren't you having a boy? :)
These are so cute Amber!!
