Like the new look?  I certainly do! 

My friend over at Sugar Pop Ribbons hosted a giveaway offering a full blog makeover.  Guess who won?  Moi!  So Laura Jane whipped up a fancy new blog for me!  She was awesome to work with and I will definitely be going back for all my blog changes in the future - I highly recommend her! 

Hopefully this inspires me to get back to blogging.  So long as that little thing called life doesn't interfere.

Midnight Blogging

Pin It Now! I should be in bed.  In my warm, cozy bed.  But I have this urge to read through blogs.  I follow many, MANY blogs and I have been behind lately in my reading.  There are so many fabulous blogging ladies out there I just can't miss what exciting projects they're working on, cute kids photos, or just everyday antics.  I can sit in front of my laptop for hours oohing and aahing over the great photos and amazing ideas. 


I don't think I could really pick a favorite, but here are a few I adore


To The Max - I can only hope that when I have a child of my own I can adore him or her just as much as Ellen does her son.  She is truly remarkable. 


A Baby? Maybe... - I have been following Beverly's blog for as long as I can remember.  Her story is inspiring, and her daughter is beautiful.  


Life in the Fun Lane - Her style intrigues me.  An all white house and furnishings would never work for us, but I dream of being able to decorate the way she does.  And she has a knack for painting furniture.  What that girl can do with a spray gun... 


Pewter + Sage - Gorgeous photos, gorgeous decor ideas, gorgeous everything. 


Project Pretty - Amazing DIY ideas.  Sunburst mirrors, damask upholstery and burlap... oh my!

Blog Swap Monday

Pin It Now!

Shannon at Today's Random has stopped by to show us some love on Blog Swap Monday!!  


Well, hello there!  Here I am, randomly found in a crafty blog!  I say randomly because I am probably the least crafty person on the planet; I strut around like a proud peacock if I hang a picture correctly the first time (Don’t act like you’re not impressed). 

So, while I can’t offer too many tips or tricks, I can hopefully provide a giggle, or maybe just a horrified “Oh, no!” about some of my past craft mishaps! 

As a child, I spilled oil paint all over my lace bedspread.  No more paint by numbers for this little girl. 

In elementary school, I made a castle for a project.  On the way to school, I dropped it, upside down, on the ground.  If I had known any swear words, there sure would have been a few. 

I have never managed to do any kind of sewing without stabbing myself repeatedly with the needle.  Sharp pointy things = bad. 

I tried to help a roommate in college paint her room and spilled the primer.  On the carpet. 

These are just a few reasons, my friends, as to why I should be banned from all things arty, crafty, or do it yourself.  Well, except for the blogs, perhaps.  I’ll try not to make a mess on the way out.
