The girls who keep this place goin'

Want some fun blog reading this week? Feel the need to shop for some pretties? Looking for a photographer? I have that for you! :)

 Sugar pop Creations! 

They sell some super cute camera straps! Want a sampling? 

How cute! 

They have soft inside straps to be extra comfy on that photo-taking-neck of yours and great patterns to choose from! Go take a look, you wont be disappointed! Amazingly reasonable too, you could get one for each outfit!

Live fancy is full of funny posts, random thoughts, super cute crafts, awesome {cupcake} related things.. yum! And, other fancy living tid-bits. It helps that Kimmie is awesome, funny and down to earth. Check her out! Then while you're at it go look at her Etsy shop! Remember those princess clips from Disney week? All her, baby!

She also creates buttons on the cheap! Need a blog button? She's got it!

Erin Dietrich Photography. 

If you live in the Southern California area she is SERIOUSLY the person to go to. Yup, enough so that I had to use all caps. :) Her work is gorgeous!

I'm in the process of trying to get her to move to Michigan to shoot us. Think she'll give up the sunshine for snow? Okay, maybe not move but she does travel. So even if you aren't in a location close to her, she can come to you! Go check her work out, it's stunning. She also has a fun family blog worth checking out, if you're anything like me and love stalking reading about other peoples families. That's what blogging is about right? ;)

Thanks so much for these lovely sponsors who help this little place I call home-- up and running. You girls are seriously the best!

{Want a super fun secret-- look forward to a upcoming giveaway from one of these sponsors next week!}

Feature Yourself Friday!

Dang girls! 253 entries! There was an AWESOME turnout this week. My husband and I had fun going through them together, don't tell anyone but I think I'm getting him hooked on blogs too. ;)

Jennifer showed off her Ah--mazin' bedroom. So pretty!

Jackie blinged up her doggy collar! Precious!! :)

Still trying to figure out how to get this chandy in my house--without Sarah finding out.... shh..

I'm just going to say it... with the title "organizing your cords" and having just a picture is well.. ballsy! There I said it! In blog land everyone wants tutorials..how tos..instructions, but this is simply THAT easy. Love it. You go girl. You just made a handful of women knock themselves in the head and say "duh".

This solar jar is AWESOME. Dare I say it might be the next craze? I don't know yet, but it's pretty fab.

Great job ladies!

Before we start---I'm going to throw this out there.. Fingerprints is on Twitter now, I'm still lame--have no idea what I'm doing, but sometimes I might be funny.. Sometimes.  See you there?

Okay, ready-----set----GO!

Chalkboard Party

Woohoo Beth is having a party and you KNOW I can't resist a good themed party-- or a chalkboard for that matter!

I thought I'd compile all my chalkboard related yumminess into one post, sound good to you? Alright.. Here goes!

Here's an oldie but goodie.. bad lighting and crappy photography.. Hey I was a newbie alright? Okay, newbie-ish.. but I've learned. ;) My PB inspired chalkboard..

Oh here's another PB knock off involving the chalkboard paint. Gotta love it.

My absolute FAVORITE chalkboard paint project? Chalkboard tags for the entryway! LOVE-THEM.

So there you have it! My best chalkboard related things. How many times did I say chalkboard in this post,  I feel like it was one too many. Sorry about that. :) Make sure you bounce back to Beth's and check out everyone elses projects!

Wednesday What The Heck

Seriously?

CSN winner & a sneak peek

Yay! So first things first the winner of the 20.00 gift card to CSNstores.com is....

Rhiannon 

:)

Congrats girl! I'll emailed the people from CSNstores your name and they'll get in touch with you!

And...

Because we can't keep a secret from each other, check out this sneak peek at what I recently purchased-- thanks to you ladies who helped me by buying tons and tons of jute. :-D

LOVE.

That is all. I'm. in. love.

Colors of love

It's cleaned. It's primed. It's ready to go. PLEASE sell me on a color. These are the top three runners:

or..

or....

So.. There goes it. My heart is tugging at a yellow chair with green, white and yellow fabric. But aqua and red makes me smile. Black with green would be safe, and lovely.

Feature Yourself Friday!

Hey lovelies! Thanks so much for the opinions on the chair! I'm excited to share what color I picked.. Eeek!

This week we had some great stuff, not that we ever don't have the best stuff out there.. Love it.

Washer and dryer risers. Oh how I wish for some front loaders someday!

 Great organizing tips from Kuzak's Closet!

Loving this living room, especially the color. Yum!

And, my heart went pitter patter for this kitchen redo! Those white cabinets are awesome!

Had to share this Minnie Mouse cake. My littlest buggy would LOVE this cake!

Okay, and because I'm hungry you get one more. YUM. That's all I'll say about that. Go there, now.

Alrighty fabulous ladies-- show us the goods!

Luck.

This can't be described as anything except luck.

Pure luck.

Who throws this out to the curb? Who does that? I'll feel really bad if they just put it out to clean it and it wasn't for free.

Kidding.

I'm sure it wasn't.

At least I hope it wasn't.

:)

Colors? Black? Colored cushion? Or bright color with a white cushion. Give me ideas! I'm in heaven! A project just fell into my lap! Happy Day!

Oh yeah, and don't hate on my dead grass there. That's the dogs...area.. grass doesn't grow in that corner. Don't talk about me behind my back because I have straw grass, with a little bit of weeds. :)

Summer

Is it just me or is summer completely taking over your life? I try try try to get things done and blog about them and then I see this pool and can't help it.

Or when someone is offering a free tractor ride, c'mon who'd pass that up? :)

Okay, basically this is my "I'm sorry I've been away" post. When I upload all my finished project pictures you'll be the first to see them! Pinky promise.

One more.. Because she's too cute not to show off, when she's not being the crazy terrible two year old that she currently is right now.

Like her outfit? She's choosing to be a fashionista lately and will only dress herself. I choose my battles, this is not one of them. :)
