HURRY!!!

Hurry on over to The Pink Giraffe's blog because they are graciously having a giveaway for a monogrammed lamp shade. Hurry because they are announcing the winner on March 1st.

I love a monogrammed lamp shade and could think of a place in every room in the house for one of these. This would be perfect in my daughter's room.

This one would be perfect in the kitchen or in my craft nook.

I love the fabric of this one and the color combination is perfect.

Here's another great giveaway that The Preppy Princess is hosting. If you love Lilly Pulitzer you don't want to pass this one up. She's giving away one Lilly mug and a Lilly Mouse Pad. How cute are these? So hurry up and get on over to her website because the drawing is to be held on March 4th.

I just found out about another giveaway for Lilly notecards. Head on over to Preppy Little Dress to enter for a chance to win this set.

Pink Swap

I just participated in a Pink Swap hosted by Kappa Prep. This monogrammed notepaper is one of the things I sent my swap partner. I wish I had purchased a set for me because I love the way it turned out.

I made tags for each package and gave each a sprinkling of glitter. I love glitter!!

Here's everything all wrapped and ready to be put in a gift bag.

A plain gift bag just wouldn't do. I added a tag embellished with glitter to the front of the gift bag.


Swap partner I hope you like everything.

One Down, Two To Go

One kiddie back at school today, two still home sick. It's been crazy around here. Keeping track of which medicine goes to who and at what times they get dispensed, changing bed linens frequently, loads of laundry, Lysol being sprayed constantly throughout the day and lots of comforting are keeping me on my feet. Now hubby has come down with it also. And it was all started by moi.

I hate to admit this, but my Christmas decorations are not packed away yet. I had such good intentions of organizing my decorations and weeding out the ones I don't use anymore. Hubby offered to finish the job for me, but I politely said no thank you because I was afraid his way would include a big dumpster in the driveway for a few days.

I took all the Christmas decorations down and made piles in the living room and dining room. I started sorting and then it hit me - strep throat. Made it through that and then got one nasty cold that stuck around for two loooong weeks. Survived that and then one by one, each kiddie started coming down with a high fever and sore throat. Throat so red, the doctor prescribed Tylenol with codeine for my daughter.

It seems so long since I've been on my blog. I did sneak away to the den a couple of times to peek in on a few of my favorite blogs. Now were on the road to recovery and my big plans will soon be back on track. Hope everyone is healthy at your house.
