I thought I’d try to take the time each week to introduce a little of my other favorite past times, favorite things, updates and just a little “lifestyle” here. I don’t know about you but I really enjoy a peek into the lives of my blog friends. So here we go! Pure randomness:
You may have noticed a bit of a new site design in progress. I’m just do indecisive. Or fickle. Sort of like with the rooms in my home. I like to change things up. Often. My skills are a far cry from a professional graphic designer but I have fun playing. Have any ideas for a catchy tagline to go with this?
I loved spending Mother’s Day with my girls, my mom and my family. See a resemblance?
Random things I purchased this week, (some affiliate links):
- Single Source Party Supplies – Round 36″ (3′) Standard Pink Latex Balloons
(for an upcoming photoshoot). 36 inches! They’re huge! Picture your yardstick! - Badger Sleep Balm – Love this stuff! Just a little rub on the temples or right under my nose at bed time. Lavender is so soothing.
- I recently lost the beautiful leather cuff bracelet I bought at the Country Living Fair. If you picked it up off the floor from the airport in NOLA and would like to return it to it’s pouty owner, let me know, k? But I do love this replacement: Measure Leather Tape Bracelet
Ahhh! Favorite scent: lilacs! In full bloom!
DIY from around the web that made me gasp with delight. My DIY fix for the week:
- Gorgeous white kitchen reveal – love her choice of materials!
- Another awesome kitchen reveal – Can’t you just picture us hanging out with Gina around her kitchen island, nibbling beignets and having fun?
- A beautiful shed update – wow!
- I know I made a beautiful dog bed last year but how many dog beds is too many for one spoiled dog? I love this modern pet bed!
- Now that we’re finally working a little on our mess of a yard, I’m excited to start planting despite my not-so-green-thumb. Wouldn’t this DIY planter box be a fun project?!
- Picnic anywhere. So cool!
I’m leaving tomorrow to enjoy a few fun and sun filled days at the cutest cottage on Anna Maria Island with these blog friends: Beth, Carrie, Diane, Karah, and Kelly. Stay tuned for a happy recap (follow along at #annamariaisland and #bloggerpromote on Twitter and Instagram if so inclined) and be sure to give lots of love to two new bloggers who will introduce themselves in a guest post next week!
Oh! One last thing! The annual Earn Your Stripes™ painting contest is taking place right now!!! Grand prize is $5,000.00!! Imagine it! What would you do with that kind of money? And guess what? I’ll be participating in the judging! Go! Enter here —> https://promotions.frogtape.
