Daisies are still my favorite.  :)

I can not believe...

That fall is just around the corner! It is very hard to imagine, especially since we have been having a bit of a heat wave here in Buffalo. YAY, summer finally arrived here. (It has been a weird summer here)

Anywho, with fall around the corner I am itching to make new ornaments. Here are a couple that are in my shop. These made their debut last fall, but I love them. I bought a glittered tree at Michael's (with a 40% coupon) last year and hung them all over it. I put the pumpkin clusters and kitties underneath.

On another note, I entered my cake place card holders in the Martha Stewart's DIY Wedding Crafts Contest. You can find my entry here. I would love if everyone could give me 5 stars and leave a comment. The contest ends Sept 1st. and will be announced Oct. 15th. I have loved Martha Stewart Weddings ever since I was planning my wedding 12 years ago and saw the daisy themed wedding they did (I still have that magazine). After seeing that article I decided that I would use daisies as my theme. I made all of my favors for my wedding, polymer clay daisy magnets. Please Note: You do have to create an account with Martha Stewart's site to leave a comment or give me 5 stars.

I still can not believe that fall is just around the corner!

What happens?

When you get 2 friends together?

I take TONS of photos of our kids!

Here are just a few.

(yes, I took photos of her other 3 kids and my son...but they were in the pool most of the time)

Today is the LAST day to enter my giveaway. Don't forget to enter, here.

Close to the one I am wearing in this picture when I was spotted last fall.

MckLinky's Weekly Blog Hop - wk3

Welcome to MckLinky's Weekly Blog Hop!!


This week the theme is 3 Things You Did Not Know About Me.

Here are 3 Things You Did Not (or maybe do) Know About Me...

1. I worked full time at the headquarters to a local grocery chain until the day I gave birth to my son 8yrs ago. I was the Office Manager in the Demo Dept. As the Office Manager I billed vendors for demonstrations. Demos are the people who give out product (free food) in the stores.


2. I was introduced to my husband by his brother. I worked with his brother and he is one of my best friends. It was great to go to family functions while I was dating my husband because I also had a friend there. It is still great today. When my brother in law told me about his brother I had a list of criteria that boys had to meet. You see, I had dated some doosies. So my list was that he had to 1. have a job, 2. have some life ambition (a goal), 3. not live at home. Well, he met the first 2, but he lived at home. I was not sold. I met my husband at a softball game 14 yrs ago. (he played on the same softball team as my brother in law) Well, the rest is history. BTW...my husband has 2 brothers and both of them also have red hair. And because last Saturday was my wedding anniversary I am including a photo from my wedding of my husband's family. The brother that introduced me to my husband is the 3rd from the left.
   


3. I love daisies. They were the theme of my wedding after I saw them in a Martha Stewart Weddings magazine. I still have that magazine tucked away in my attic. I also love to take photos of flowers. Here are a couple daisy photos I took this week in my back yard.

BTW...don't forget to enter my giveaway here.

Not Me Monday - wk9

Welcome to my 9th week of Not me! Monday.

This week I did not change around my blog in an attempt to make it look a bit cleaner. Not at all because every time I posted my blog link to facebook it wouldn't pull the photo's I wanted it to. I did not read a TON of code and tutorials and did not rewrite most of my blog code myself. I know I could pay for a new design...I am not frugal. I also do not like writing code at all. Actually, I have a degree in Engineering Science and in college (way back when) I learned how to write code. At the time when I learned how to write code the wild world of the Internet wasn't like it is today, though.


Anywho...


There are now 4 columns, one post column on the left and 3 on the right side (one wide at the top & 2 below that).


I also did not add a navigation bar. I had installed one a few weeks ago with photo buttons I made, but I prefer just text now. It is not driving me insane because that text is underlined and I have no idea on how to make it not underlined. Oh well.

I did not add the blog contest widgets to the bottom of my blog. I have to thank Sara from Subjective Beauty for posting an answer and a tutorial to my question about scroll bars. She ROCKS!! The scroll bar saves soooo much space on my blog. She also has another tutorial on how to add a moving marque scroll bar. Check out her ask sara posts for all the tutorials.

On Saturday I did not host a shower for my friend at her house. I am her only bridesmaid in her July 25th wedding (you can click here to see my bridesmaid dress). I did not make an army of wedding cakes as my present (62 total, but who's counting? Not ME!).I also did not make an army of daisies as favors and description holders for the food.I did not spend 3 hours making the food on Friday. I did not make Chicken Wing Dip, Taco Dip, Chile & Cheese Spirals, GoGo Asiago Dip and Beer Bread. I was not pissed because someone volunteered to bring the tortilla chips & punch bowl showed up 30 minutes late....and didn't even say she was sorry! Oh yeah...the punch bowl was dirty, too. While there I did not get to see the sassy girl (bride to be's daughter) I watched during summers for the past 3 years. This summer she isn't coming to my home because they moved. I do not miss her one bit. *sniff*
After opening presents I did not make this beautiful hat for my friend. I would not make her stand there so I could take photos of her wearing it. She loves me!! =D
