Eh...

I'm doing away with Etsy Wednesdays... it was fun but now I don't want it to be an obligation. I'll keep count your blessings Tuesday 'cause you should always take the time to do that.

Count Your Blessings Tuesday #3

I am thankful for:

1. All the compliments I'm getting on my appearance... it's nice to know my efforts are not in vain.

3. Having two more car payments.

4. Freshly mowed lawn... thanks C!

5. T's sense of humor.

6. "Me" time!

Creative Fun

C, S and I went to this place called Pottery Stop... we let our creative juices flow!

With our blank canvases...

S and her awesome pumpkin mug... she is afraid they're going to steal it 'cause it's so awesome.

C and her bowl that matches her new chair! You can't tell but it does have paint on it!

Me and my plate after having fixed my mishap of misspelling "birthday"... thanks S for pointing it out only after my SECOND coat!

The colors look off because they need to be fired first. I can't wait to see what they're going to look like next Monday! S, you missed on a lot of fun!

The photos that don't make it...

to T's blog. This is what my nights look like. I know you're jealous! T put glasses on Mommy and Daddy.... and doggy D just wanted to be teleported somewhere else.

Etsy Find Wednesdays! #3

Falling for fall :) I love fall and love to decorate the house with fall-ish stuff. Here is my favorite fall item for the home and my... not so favorite:

Awesomely Awesome:

This pair of pillow covers from SFOQuilter @ $22.00 for 2 is a classy pick to bring fall in the living room. I love the mod pattern and colors used :) I just have to convince C that this is a necessary purchase! (it's cool that you can take the cover off and it would take up less space to store!)

Awesomely Awful:

This toilet cover from Kimsclassycommodes costs $44 dollars... that alone repels me. Who would pay $44 dollars to cover their toilet in this? Well, maybe my MIL! I never consider the toilet in my "must decorate" for the holidays list... to each his own I guess!

Count Your Blessings Tuesday #2

Today I am grateful for:

1. Being well enough to be at work and not use up more sick days.

2. The patience that God has given me to deal with my child... God knows I need it some days!

3. My husband who continues to be supportive of everything I set out to do.

4. My in-laws who come and relieve us of our parental duties for a few hours AND spoil our child for us.

5. The warm and inviting home that I have despite of it being a mess half the time ;)

6. Life and the time to enjoy it!

Today's picks are just in time for fall... those key items you need for the cool fall weather!

Awesomely Aweful

At $55 dollars you can carry around three flying disks for a pickup frisbee game AND keep warm at the same time. I think what's best about this is the model and the badly placed branches that make her look like she has horns. In any case, if you'd like to purchase this lovely item, check out thebeachcomberstudio.

Awesomely Awesome

A little pricey at $62 dollars but very chic and has been featured in a few magazines. Check out necklush on Etsy!
