Long time no blog!

Ha ha. I'm so clever. Okay...I was having a hard time coming up with a title.

How the heck has everyone been?

I haven't visited any of you in FOREVER! But, I had to stay home from church today because my little Pixie is sick. And since I don't ever do Ribbon Blossoms work on Sunday, I have the best reason to spend my time getting caught up with y'all! I can't wait to get around and get visiting!

Nothing too exciting to report here. At the kids' school we're still on the hunt for a new director to replace our current fabulous one. I can't understand why "Dean of Education" is a more appealing position than "director of a tiny charter school". So it's a really prestigious position, and a lot more money, for a lot less work...so what? I guess that's the risk of hiring someone fabulous, there's always someone else looking to steal them away from you!

Last night had a girls' night out with Tanielle. We did a little shopping (nothing exciting - trust me!) and then headed over to the dollar theatre to see The Proposal. I had seen it over the summer, but she never had, and I was more than willing to see it again. We had a great time, and a little adventure in locating the owner of a cell phone that slid down the theatre floor and crashed into Tanielle's foot.

Spent Friday at my moms getting caught up on DVR'd episodes of SYTYCD that I had missed. Can I just say...I am so proud of Utah? The Salt Lake City auditions were AMAZING! I can't wait to see how many Utahns make it into the top 20. I guarantee Utah will be represented in the finals.

I guess that's about all for now...sorry so boring! But now I'm off to start visiting!

I loved The Proposal too. I would have seen it twice as well.

I hope your little one is feeling better soon!

You're NEVER boring! Hope Pixie is feeling better today! I've been a blogger slacker lately too. I have so much work to do this week, so I'm not sure it will change much until I get a free day at home to just blog hop!

Hope you have a great week!♥

I haven't seen The Proposal either. I have no clue what it's about. Guess I'll have to check it out. I hope your daughter feels better soon. Have fun catching up!

P.S. When you did the post about your daughters cutting their hair for locks of love, I'd mentioned that my daughter was going to do that too. Well, she did, this last weekend!

Yay for girls' night!! We used to have a Dollar Theatre... now we have to suck it up and pay upwards of $9 to go to a movie. I loved The Proposal...it comes out on DVD tomorrow. :)

I thought Utah was AWESOME in auditions. There was one moment in Vegas that I was really really ticked at the judges for letting someone go, but I am excited to see this week's episodes. :)

DWTS is really really boring for me this season. I think Donnie Osmond is pretty good and at the very least, he is entertaining. :) The others I fast forward through. I adore Derek Hough and Mark Ballas (sp?), but I don't care for their partners....I like Melissa Joan Hart, but her dancing is soooo bad to be paired with someone as talented as Mark.....jmo....

Missed your posts like crazy!!! Thanks for all the sweet comments. :)

My daughter loves SYTYCD! I told her she needed to try out when they came to SLC. To scared! Don't blame her.

Have a great day.

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...

Mod Podge to the Rescue

Have you noticed that eggs and nests seem to be a common theme in home decor - especially with people making some decor changes for spring? I've seen some pretty cute stuff! For example - what do you think of these? If you like this look, you can get it at Williams-Sanoma. You'll pay $36 for the eggs, and $68 for 1 glass hurricane. They don't include the greenery! Sheesh! Maybe you could go online and find the whole look, already put together, like this: You'll pay $39 for that teeny one, and if you'd like a larger one - you'll shell out $89! Good thing I'm the Queen of Mod Podge! Remember this beauty that I found at the DI for $5? Well, I gathered up my trusty mod podge, the left over scrap book paper from this project, some plastic eggs that I got for 79 cents at Walmart, and a bag of moss that was around $2, also from Walmart. I mod podged the eggs closed so they wouldn't pop open while I was working with them, then I cut the scrapbook paper into ...
