#1 reason to buy from piperlime

The awesome packaging.

My boots arrived, and I think I like the box better than my shoes!

snow days

We've had quite the snow storm here in Atlanta. Weather.com said we had 9 inches! 2 days off from work is always a welcomed event.

love keens

Go check out the lime tag sale over at PiperLime. Up to 50% off! and use the code SMILE at checkout for an additional 20% off!

I just bought myself this late Christmas gift. I've been wanting rain boots for a long time...and I just love these. Not too tall, too shiny, too odd looking, or too expensive (I've been eyeing Hunters for a while now, but can't fork over $100). Maybe I'm just picky, but I'm trusting the good 'ol Keens to do me well. I have 2 pairs of other Keens and love 'em!

monthly calendar series

Head on over to Curiosity Group to partake in their 2011 monthly calendar series. They are kicking off the New Year with a fun and adorably cute little calendar for January. I'm going to put mine together tonight, and then it will be joining me to work tomorrow morning.

Don't forget to check back every month!

Happy New Year!

Using these instructions, and these 8 point stars...

T and I made some of these...

and then hung them on our tree.

They're really fun and fairly easy!

happy weekend!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I think we'll be visiting the newlyweds this weekend and watching a little football. Then we have a little holiday gathering to attend at my Mom's on Sunday.

Here's a printable holiday card from Mufn Inc. to help get a jump start on cards this year.

Happy weekend!!

oh christmas tree

Remember these heart pins that I blogged about a long time ago? That I absolutely loved. and then some sweet lady in Iowa who loves me, sent me some. Well the purl bee has blogged instructions on how to make Christmas tree pins! So so so cute!

our advent calendar

I meant to post this yesterday, but today marks the official countdown to Christmas. and we will be kicking it off with this advent calendar that T's mom made us. Each day we'll add to the tree ending with an angel at the top. I think I might be more excited than Baby G, but hopefully it will become something he loves to do too.

wire letters

After my friends wedding, I'm loving these wire letters. She used 3 T's throughout her reception decor. They're so simple and that's what I love. They aren't too frilly either and can easily add a little fun to the home decor. or Baby G's nursery!

pumpkin creme brulee

After indulging in lots of pumpkin pie this last weekend, I'm still on a pumpkin kick. This pumpkin creme brulee looks delicious and might require me to break out my mini baking torch.
