Do you get crushes in your life? A crush on a color, accent, texture, material, tool? Anything? I find myself falling for certain things in my life. My current crush is on peacock teal. I never admitted to it on the blog (or elsewhere for that matter) so when Tiffany sent me the berry container and pillow case, I couldn't contain my excitement. The berry container is set for our kitchen reveal and the pillow case is going to make an appearance soon. What Tiffany didn't know was that I recently … [Read more...]
a crafting challenge – crepe paper garland
A few weeks ago, a few bloggy friends decided to form a group to support and challenge each other.

An achievement like that deserves personalized cheer shirts for her cheering squad. We headed to Disney last weekend to cheer her on for … [Read more...]
when this blog grows up – a link party
A few of my favorites (Cassie, Ange, among others) have been posting about what their blog will be like when it grows up. I've been blogging for a little over a year.
