  • you've got mail...

    10 March 2009

    I went to the mailbox on Friday and guess what was there?
    Remember the free Martha Stewart subscription (sorry~promo is over)that we worried would never come~
    it CAME!
    Did yours??
    Feb, March, and April all came together~yay! Such a fun surprise to get in the mail....
    And then, today I found these sweet little gems in my mailbox~I won my very first giveaway! Yea!
    Rachel over at Made with Love and Glue makes these pressed peony pins and they are the cutest things ever. I won one, and then couldn't decide on just one, so I had to buy 2 more. I love them~her color combinations are perfection and they're only$6.50 each, or three for $15. Here is the link to her Etsy shop You'll love her blog as well.
    I put this one on my denim jacket:

    One on my purse:
    And my daughter stole one and put it on her jacket:
    Don't you love them? Thanks, Rachel!

    So, now I'm like Martha~finding good things, and sharing them. And now I have her magazine to give me more crazy ideas and pressed peonies to make me feel cute and springy. I love good mail days...

    makeover monday

    09 March 2009

    Remember JoAnn, the giveaway winner ? She got her package ~go see what she did with her bathroom:


    Look at Karyn's box and table makeover!



    Here are Tricia Anne's made-over bunnies:

    And I love what Christina did with a $5 table she got at a yard sale:
    Thanks for the inspiration, ladies! I love your makeovers~so much that, are you ready for this? I started priming the master bath this weekend! Now that it's started, I have to finish. :)
    I may just turn this into a regular feature~send me your way if you've got something great!
    Happy Monday~

    some friday randomness...

    06 March 2009

    Happy Friday, everyone! Have you heard of Pandora? Coolest website~my husband showed me last week. It's basically an internet radio station you create by helping you find music you love. I just found out I love Paul Cardall, so I just changed up the music a bit on here. You can push play below if you want to hear.

    I just wanted to say thanks for your patience~if you email or leave a comment asking a question, I do my best to get back with you during naptime or at night, so bear with me. I would love to spend more time visiting all of your blogs as well, but I'm really trying to limit my time on the computer. I don't want to have any regrets about this and I have a sneaking suspicion that in 20 years I won't be saying, "I wish I had blogged more..." I just keep reminding myself that these are years with my kids I can never take back. Don't we all struggle with the whole balance issue?

    That being said, I know this blog would be nothing without you. So, whether you are a lurker or one who faithfully comments on every post, can I just say thank you?

    Have a wonderful weekend~

    tidy totes

    03 March 2009

    Have you seen these little gems at the Dollar Tree? Mine had a ton of them and so did my friend's, so I'm guessing yours will too. They are a 4 pack of these mesh bags that are perfect for containing random things throughout the house. So far, I've used them for odd socks, bath toys, and leap frog fridge magnets. I stashed a pack in the car as well and have used them when we went cotton picking and to put my son's wet clothes in when he spilled a sonic slush all over himself. Works for me~

    I'm sure there 101 more useful ways to use them~have you used these or can you think of a great use for these? I just have a feeling they are brimming with more potential wonderfulness.
    Oh, and speaking of cotton, some of you have asked if you can buy some. Email me at lissylee@hotmail.com if you're interested and I'll get back with you.
    Happy Wednesday!
