Just wanted to send you over to the Dainty Squid's blog for a MungoCrafts giveaway!


Have an awesome day :)

The Good News

My UGGs have finally arrived!  I've been waiting for about two weeks and my black Classic Talls are finally here.  :-D

They're gorgeous and perfect...*sigh*

And now the family is complete...for a few months.

On another lovely note, my homemade Christmas coasters for the in-laws are done.  I'm pretty excited, but I learned a lot and will do quite a bit differently the next time around.

They started out pretty rough-looking.

I used this set of instructions (of course I found the link on ediTORIal) and the results are below. :)

Ready to go!

The only other homemade gifts I really succeeded in making this year (aside from the delicious peanut clusters) were variations of this:

which I found on tumblr.  Here they are:

I employed my Cricut for the one on the right and I just used ink and rubber stamps for the one on the left.  I like the effect of background so I used green tissue paper and purple striped scrapbook paper.

OOOh and you can enter to win a pair of Blowfish shoes here, on The Dainty Squid(Kaylah)'s blog!

Fuzzy Friday

I've decided begin a themed post once per week to help me remember to blog.  There will obviously be pictures of more than just my dog, but she is pretty cute so she'll be showing up the majority of the time, too.

Maybe I just think these are cute because I love when she does things she's not supposed to.  We have reprimanded her a million times for being on furniture and she's just a badass and does it anyway.

Those eyes!

If only Huskies were a little easier to train, Remy would have a sister.

Tooooo cute!

Oh, and Kaelah  (little chief honeybee) is having the sweetest giveaway of the year.  I don't know how she hasn't ripped the packaging completely off and kept it for herself, but she's giving away a 16GB iPad 2!  While you're there entering to win, check out her adorable Bulldogs!

Monday Jonesing

Coolest giveaway ever by Kaelah Bee!  Lomography Fisheye "I love U" camera!  Totally jonesing...

I hardly got through the first chapter of Bound South without being distracted by a brilliant idea.  I'm already up to my elbows in yardwork but I need a rock garden.  I found a bunch of ideas on this website and I feel like it'd be easier to manage than our vegetable garden which is hosting a lovely little celebration of weeds right now.  I mean, they're rocks.  They crush unwanted plants.  I just want to paint a bunch and lay them out so that I can pretend I have time to meditate in a colorful place with my eyes closed.  I'm kidding myself, I have no time to paint rocks.  But I do need to find time to hit up the field across the road and sneak some rocks home to arrange in such a fashion that stops tension in its tracks.  Heck, maybe I'll get one of those speaker rocks so I can blast relaxing nature sounds...Oh, and I need some more solar-powered globe lights (like these).  I'll get some low-maintenance perennials from my mom's next week...Here's what I'm thinking:

Seedum - Stonecrop

Hen & Chicks

Eep!  I need these little guys, too!

Squirrel with Lantern

I need this nail polish, too.
