We had a fabulous favorite paint color party and I was thinking...how fun would it be to have our own little favorite things party?
I'm totally copying Oprah.
You know the Oprah show I'm talking about...where she shares her favorite things from the past year that cost millions of dollars and everyone in the audience gets one and you immediately hate that you're not there and begin googling how to get a ticket for next year.

So mark your calendars for Thursday, November 19 and we can all share our own favorite things, but I'm thinking ours will be much more affordable. :)
You can share a list of 5-10 of your favorite finds that you would send to your best friends if you could~anything from your favorite lip gloss, chocolate, magazine, cd, home item, blog post, gadget, candle, electronic device, peanut butter, book, jewelry, item from an etsy store, socks, makeup remover, cleaning product...anything as long as it's your favorite, you've personally tried it, you're not trying to make money on it, and no one is paying you to talk about it.
I love recommendations from friends and can't wait to see what y'all will share! :)
I'm making my list already...
feel free to grab a button above and invite anyone.
I hope you have a great weekend~oh, and if you haven't read this, it's so worth it.
my favorite Nienie post so far

Under $10, under an hour projects
Under $10, under an hour projects
Exactly the type of projects I love. I'm going to start a new category on my sidebar with easy peasy projects like these that don't break the bank.
You know the 3 legged tables I'm talking about. I seriously see them at yard sales and Goodwill all of the time, you may have some in your house, you can buy them at Walmart for around $7.
We had 2 that we used as nightstands, and when we graduated to a black Target bedroom set, (someday we may have real furniture!! ) we decided to get rid of the little tables.
I love fall traditions.
We usually go out to the pumpkin patch, and take a hayride, and drink apple cider, and get gorgeous pictures as the sun goes down.
We make donuts and watch Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.
We carve pumpkins.
Hello!
I have to thank you so much for your words and prayers for Sadie's family. I went to try to comfort, uplift, and strengthen, but they did that for me. They know where their perfect daughter is, and they are determined to live their lives so that they will be able to live with her as an eternal family. They are amazing and I was reminded that family, friends, and the gospel of Jesus Christ are really all that matter in this life. The rest is just fluff.

A thought I'd share a few of my thoughts and things I've learned (and am still learning) about my first year of blogging:
Blog what you love, and read blogs that inspire you
My intent with this blog is to take you along our adventure of bringing a 1970's house up to date and show projects that make you think, I could do that!
(along with some pure nonsense, deals, and rambling)
If my blog or anyone else's blog is not uplifting or inspiring you, why are you still reading it? Blog what you love and it will come naturally, and read blogs that you truly enjoy.
It's time for the afters of the Procrastinator's Party!
So, you know that my drawers needed help and I gave myself 2 weeks to finish.(before pics here)
In reality, it only took 2 hours, but it always seems overwhelming before you start, doesn't it?
First, I said buh-bye to the 70's floral contact paper in the drawers:
Hello! What do you think of the new look?
My husband was out of town last week and I had the wild notion to give my blog a makeover to fill the hours after the kids were in bed so I wouldn't think about was that the wind? or someone that was going to break in and kidnap my kids or steal my 20 cans of spray paint...
Anyway, I'm still tweaking some things on here, but I was ready for a change.
I really can't believe it's been 1 year since I decided to take our family blog private and begin 320 Sycamore for my love of home things.
You all have been a huge blessing~whether you have been with me from the beginning or just yesterday, thank you for coming back. I try not to ask myself why you would want to see what this crazy girl is up to next or what she's rambling on about now, but for whatever reason,
thank you.
