Birthday to my little sister Sara! She’s 27 today. We just returned from a Memorial Day party at the lake. I’m waiting on J to shower then we’re heading out for Sara’s birthday dinner. I can’t wait to give her her presents. We got her a tray, pitcher, bowls, flatware, serving bowls, plates, and set…

Today my heart hurts for Lisa. She lost her mom this morning. Please say a prayer for her and her family. Lisa, I’m so, so sorry. Please know I’m here for you. xoxo

Oh, and today, five years ago, J and I were at our friend Kevin’s birthday party when we met up, stayed up all night talking, and I decided that was it. I was going to marry this man. Then I did. xoxo

We are 5 inches over for the year on rain. It’s been raining for 3 days straight and they are expecting 3 inches by the end of the weekend. This is all happening in the same place where just a year ago we were suffering from drought conditions and they were ticketing people for being…

Stef got her stuff and liked it all. Yay!! I think it’s just as much fun sending a swap box as receiving. I’m always nervous waiting to see if the receiver got it and liked it. She also posted a pic of the Grow Dammit garden stakes I painted. What you can’t see in the…

Last night I came home to two more packages. First, I received my Spring Craft Swap package! Such talented ladies out there. Here’s the pic (sorry, it’s a little blurry) I received a sweet little felted bunny, a lovely pair of Crystal Charm earrings (I’m beginning to feel like the Imelda Marcos of beaded earrings!),…

Here is a picture of the earrings Hovey sent in my swap box: Click here for a close up. And I couldn’t photograph that pair without showing off all the others I’ve bought from Crystal Charm! Click here for a close up. I just love them all. They’re so pretty and feminine. Hovey does beautiful…
