Cutie Patootie Blog Hop ~ CLOSED

Welcome to the.... I apologize I was not live @ midnight...i typoed the date, instead of 3/5 I scheduled it for 5/5 duh! well here I am now...sorry again

You have stopped by on a great day, today I am participating in my first ever Blog Hop. So if you would like to join us for some great paper piecings that are NOT from a Cricut cart...head over to the beginning of the hop ~ Just Yolie, Just Create's Blog (she is the host). There are going to be some great prizes along the way. I am giving away 2 files so generously donated for this hop from
Lisa owner of Precious Piecings.
My layout features an adorable piecing from Precious Piecings / Me and My Bear1
Is she not the cutest little thing with her little teddy bear in tow,
This layout is of my daughter and different pictures of her and her "Sleepy" he is a blanket with a bear head that she still til this day (just turned 6 on 2/19) sleeps with. My Best Friend, her Godmother gave her before she was even born!
Her exact words when we saw the blankie @ a craft show was...
"I think the baby needs this!" boy was she right! My daughter picked it up @ 5 months old & has not put it down yet, he has been lost and found at least 5 time!
I created the title myself in Inkscape


The poem reads:
This is Sleepy…
He has been my favorite blankie, since the day that I was born, even though he’s dirty, thin, frayed, and just a little torn. Mommy & Daddy would try to coax me, to let them wash out all the grime, but I sneak him out from the laundry, just in the nick of time! Saved from suds at least for now, he goes everywhere with me. He has my smell and the feel I love, he’s my bedtime security. Someday I will be brave enough, to give my cherished Sleepy away. Then you'll say how big I am, and how that will be such a great day! Long after I have grown up, in my scrapbook I will see, pictures of my treasured Sleepy, that was so special to me!
My 2nd project is using another Precious Piecings file ~ Mama and Baby Bears

Aren't they just adorable!
I created the title myself in Inkscape
