One of my favorite ways to decorate.....

9.30.11- 

  And they just happened to be for SaLE during the Fall Show & there are still some left today from 10- NooN

{How lucky is that!} 

I wanted to show you these fabulous, glittery, adorable Holiday decorations that just happen to double as a vintage-y postcard- if you would like to send one some body's way just to say Hello. 

{You know I LOVE mail.... I have been known to send a few myself}

- I just love the vintage prints & style of these + the glitter- so cute! - 

-Each Big Postcard comes with a custom envelope perfect for mailing & the ribbons these come with are gorgeous!- 

But more than sending them to a friend in the mail I love to hang them up here & there all around my house for some festive Holiday Decor.  

The big greeting card size {$18} are perfect to- 

1- Tie up with a wreath 

2- Hang from a Shelf knob

3- Or just set up on the mantle- they're big enough to see. 

The dainty little ones {$12} are just too cute! 

Hang them- 

1- on a closet door

2- from a dresser knob 

3- or on the towel rack in your guest bathroom {like I do} I have quite a collection & I always change it each month. 

-So many possibilities with these cute things!- 

Just wanted to share one of my favorite {super easy} ways to decorate for the Holidays & add a little bling & sparkle. 

{That's always good right?} 

Have a wonderful day!

Maybe I'll see you today from 10- NooN.  There is still lots of pumpkins, candy, cake plates, Halloween themed bottles, frames & other cuteness for sale!

**If you live out of state & can't come to my show- leave me a comment & I'll draw one lucky person to send one of these fabulous postcards your way- just for FuN!!

ANYWAY-  I meant to write that the GiVEAWAY is for a $20.00 gift certificate to Taggart's not $10.  

{Oops- fixed it though!}  So YiPPee- another 10 bucks to buy a cup of Chicken Artichoke soup, a hearty Roast Beef Sandwich, fresh Salad, Raspberry Cheesecake whatever you would like!

Last night, the next thing & a GiVEAWAY!

9.23.11- 

  What a Fa.B.U.LOUS night last night- it was The365 Swap.

{This gets bigger & better every time- it's so fun!} 

If you haven't come before you ReaLLy need to plan to purchase a ticket to come to our next one that will be next year sometime.  

-I hauled our vintage typewriter down to The Swap to welcome everyone to the Name tag Station- so cute!-

-The name tags I created this year, each Cultivate girl makes name tags to bring so that they are each unique,  I made mine out of corrugated cardboard, old poker chips, a bottle cap & a paint chip. Easy!! 

Anyway such a creative, inspirational place to be last night. The "famous" chalkboard was used in a different way this time around, lots of bright orange pumpkins galore lying around, hay bales wrapped with fabric, quilts & burlap to sit on, homemade root beer brewing away to quench your thirst & a wide array of delectable sweets to choose from & not to mention the AMAZING collection of goods to Swap.  

{It was great this year- all the Swapp-ettes all brought some great treasures to Swap} 

Here is what I walked away with last night- 

-Don't know what I'll store in the metal file box yet, love the red clock & I think the springs are going to make great candle holders. Thanks whoever brought these!-

I'll post more pictures soon about the Swap so check back later. 

Ok... now for the next BiG thing on my calender-

What I wore Wednesday

9.21.11- 

  

I look forward to posting this every Wednesday & I like having a reason to get up & dressed in the mornings 

{I go HERE each Wednesday} 

But... I do need to work on doing my hair- each week it's pulled back into a pony or bun. I'll work on it.  I get up on Wednesday mornings at 5:30 to go to Zumba at 6:00. 

{Bright & Early- I Know! } 

You'd think getting up & doing this I could be put together by 10:00 right?  When I get home from the gym there are kids to wake up, breakfast to make, lunches to put into brown paper bags or vintage lunch boxes {I'll post a picture someday} & get everyone dressed & out the door to catch the bus not to mention getting myself ready- augh, one of these days I'll be on top of everything.  

I love a white shirt!! It goes with anything & a great necklace- a perfect combo!

So long story short I look forward to Wednesday's for many reasons- 

1-Up bright & Early to see all the stars still out- it was GORGEOUS this morning! 

2- Getting dressed up for the day 

{usually it's sweats, shorts or my favorite old jeans} 

3- Going to the Sisters in the Scriptures class & leaving it each week feeling re-newed, empowered & grateful for all the blessings that I enjoy each day & having the 

Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. 

4- Getting to take a picture of myself in the mirror & sharing it with you all. 

5-  & today having yummy leftovers to eat for lunch

{which usually never happens} 

Taco soup 

-Must be Fall because we got out the Little Pumpkin bowls to eat our soup in last night.  It's always fun to get these out in Sept. & use them until Thanksgiving- 

& an amazing, tasty, scrumptious Apple Crisp that Miss Mace made last night for our family. 

{I LoVE having a 13 yr. old around who enjoys cooking & baking so much - ahhhh!} 

-De-lish!!- 

Now off to go on a walk around the block with my friend & then home to finish a bunch of last minute details for the 365 Swap Round 3 being held tomorrow night- I can't wait!  

[Don't worry I'll post pictures later or you can go here to see some too} 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Memories-

9.19.11- 

  

Spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon in my great little home-town of Lewiston yesterday.  I love going up there! We decided to haul up our bikes this time & ride from my parents home to my Grandma's house , which is a little over 2 miles.

{my 3 girls, my Schmoopie, Brother Jake, nephew Davis & I} 

-Starting off at Grandma & Grandpa's house- Em, Audj, Mace & Davis-

It was fun & it made me recall all the many {many} times I did that growing up.  Lewiston is a wide-open space with lots of farmland, friendly faces & cows.  My girls love going up & spending time at Grandma & Grandpa's house, I'm glad we were able to go up & enjoy one last almost Summertime day.

this is something I did almost every Sunday in the summertime.  Sunday evenings were always spent at my Grandparent's house. Playing football outside in the back yard with my cousins, climbing in her trees, eating watermelon while we sat on blankets outside & just playing & being together with our family. 

- We made it- Great Grandma's house! {Yes, that's me sporting the nice Farmer's Tan-appropriate for Lewiston} -

I also made this frame to put in A&E's room. This just happens to be one of my All-TiME favorite picture of the 2 of them together.  I saw this paper one day with the sayings on it & just knew I had to make a frame to put in their room.  Love all the colors! 

{2 peas in a pod for sure!} 

-A&E taken in 2007 when they were 5 years old- 

I hope I'm helping make memories for them that they will look back on with joy & share with their children someday- yesterday was a Sunday well spent! 

**Honeybee wants to know- what memories did you create or remember yesterday?
