must . . . go . . . do . . . laundry! :)

Ah, blog world, you are enticing and exciting, but I simply must depart and do some chores. I thought I would share a beautiful visual with you from one of my favorite spots in the world. Not only is she a fabulous friend, she is a gifted artiste! I can't wait to post pictures of the two signs she dropped off for me this weekend -- two signs for Morgan's Parisienne room. Tres magnifique! (Yes, you are right. I know no French. ;))

Please check out Heather's site at The Polkadot Fieldmouse. She is simply a precious person!

tag, i'm it!

I love Smell the Coffee, Lisa. She is a great commenter, hilarious, quirky and fun. Simply great! I enjoy every minute I 'visit' with her! She's tagged me so I get to share. Five things that I love. Hmmmmmmmm. Of course, there are the serious answers. My family. God. My friends. Church. The list I am about to share is a walk on the wee bit less serious side.

1. Totebags -- maniacally (is that a word?) obsessed with totebags of any kind. I have a totebag for everything. I like shopping for totebags. I like getting them, filling them, looking at them -- everything totebags. Three of my happiest (jk) days were the day we made bedazzled tote bags in my moms' group, the day my moms' group gave me a Vera tote as a present and the day I found five beach tote bags that were normally $20 apiece on clearance for $1.48. Yes, I bought them all and I have used them selfishly just for me. Decadence!
2. Dance music -- I can get so much more done when Disturbia and Mambo 5 and Lady Gaga are playing in the background.
3. Caffeine -- I start the day with coffee and iced tea and don't stop all day. I love caffeine and it loves me.
4. Grosgrain ribbon -- I love the way it looks, it feels, the colors, the texture -- I would wrap myself in it and wear it everywhere.
5. Bread -- good, crusty, yummy warm baguettes with butter on it. Oh, I like bread so very, very much!

Wow. I had no idea this post would be so random. Hilarious! I am tagging two people who I would love for them to spend more time blogging. These women are WONDERFUL and I love them to pieces.

Thanks, Lisa Anne, for making me laugh! Heather and Jesse, tag, you're it!

ah, some more treasures to add to my collection . . . the craft fair will be here before we know it.

The craft fair is going to be held this fall. As you know, I am working with Overflow lotions and balms as well as The Polkadot Fieldmouse on a booth. Next week is our photoshoot -- we are going to put together our sample booth. Oh, I LOVE this kind of stuff :)!!!

She's up and running!

A favorite and talented friend has her site up and running! Her handcrafted signs are just darling -- as is she! Check out her website at www.thepolkadotfieldmouse.com -- so sweet. I ordered two of her signs as teacher's gifts and customized them with the students' fingerprints (2nd and 4th grades). These signs were the perfect gift! The first saying I chose was "Clear your mind of can't" and the second "The world is but a canvas for our imagination." So PERFECT! LOVE this site -- you will not be disappointed in her products!
