What would a party be without us BOTH?

Y'all didn't really think we were gonna party seperately did you? Not when we have so much fun TOGETHER! And it's better this way, because it means you have TWO chances to win an awesome Blogiversary giveaway!

One year ago today, Tanielle and I both started blogging. For me, I thought it might be a good way to promote our hairbow busines. But I quickly learned that the true value of my blog was in the wonderful women I've met and the wonderful friends I've made - some who have even become close friends outside of Bloggerville.

I've laughed, cried, been inspired, and received the best comments from some of the smartest, funniest, kindest ladies I've ever known. Thank you all for all of it!

And thank you Tanielle for partying with me, and for being one of the people I've had the most fun with in my life. Ever.



10 things I love about Tanielle
1. I love that she shares a maturity level equivalent to mine (in it's near non-existence!)

2. I love that she always paints my girls fingernails and toenails whenever they come over to visit.

3. I love how she's afraid of EVERYTHING...it makes it especially entertaining for me when we watch vampire shows together!

4. I love her beautiful smile!

5. I love how organized she is. I wish I could be more like her that way!

6. I love her cute handwriting.

7. I love how she takes time for her kids when they need her attention. I've mentioned this before, but I've often seen her stop what she is doing to take time to listen to what they have to say. I am so bad at a that!

8. I love that she shares my passion for NKOTB.

9. I love how she doesn't judge me and my poor housekeeping skills...when she is the domestic goddess of organization and cleanliness!

10. I love that she shares my beliefs and that just as much as we can be silly and immature together, we can have long, serious talks about spiritual things, and she gets me...because it's how she feels too.

I'm so glad we met that first day of Kindergarten for our little boys, who are now going into jr. high next year! Gah! We are not that old, right?

So to celebrate my 1 year blogiversary, and also my wonderful friend Tanielle who shares this blogiversary with me...I have to have a giveaway, right?

How would you like to win a package filled with some of Tanielle's favorite things? The contents will be a surprise. But Tanielle loves things that smell good, things that taste good, and things that are pretty...so I can promise you won't be disappointed! Giveaway ends Feb 1 at 11:59 p.m. MST.

All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment. That's it! And if you'd like a chance to win a package of MY favorite things...well head on over to Tanielle's and party a little with her!
Here's to another fabulous year! Mwah!

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

Friend Makin' Monday and 100th post giveaway!

I just love Mondays! If you've never heard of Friend Makin' Monday , go to Kasey's to read all the rules and join in! I have met some of my best bloggy friends through FMM ! This week's task is to complete the following tag: 5 Senses Tag We are to list 4 things we love, and one thing we dislike, for each sense. Smell Like: 1. Pot roast in the oven! 2. Sunkissed Citrus Scentsy, and Melon Medley from the Walmart knock-off scents! 3. rubbing alcohol (I know, I need help) 4. along those same lines...nail polish and nail polish remover. Dislike: coffee Touch Like: 1. The click, click of the keyboard beneath my fingers! 2. back massage from my husband - he has magic hands! 3. an ice cold soda can on the back of my neck on a hot summer day! 4.Hot showers Dislike: Hot glue on my fingertips! Occupational hazard for me! Sound 1. My baby (okay she's 2 now!) whispering "secrets" in my ear. 2. My kiddo's giggles. 3. My husband's singing. He has a very nice si

Mod Podge Mania!

I am so super excited for our first edition of Mod Podge Mania! I love this stuff, and I LOVE getting new ideas for how to use it...so hopefully this will be a great place for "inspiration" where we can all get some fun new ideas! So here's how it will work. Post about a project on your blog, along with instructions on how you created your mod podge masterpiece! OR you can do a post featuring a project you have seen someone else do, just to pass the idea along. Just make sure you give credit where credit is due! Also, make sure to include a link back to my blog in your post! Next, link up by entering your name and copying the URL to your post into Mr. Linky - he's waiting at the bottom of this post. It would be helpful if you put the name of your project along with your name so people will know what they are coming to look at! (example: Xazmin - decorative eggs) Last, go check out everyone's fabulous projects and let the inspiration begin! You can link up as
