CRAFT SWAP

Ok, So this is only my second time doing this, but I am definitly going to be making it a tradition.

One of my favorite parts about the holidays is Free People's Craft Swap! Sign up here and you will be paired up with another creative person and you both send eachother gifts for the holiday season. Who knows if you get paired up with me you could get an awesome headband! :) The sign up ends this Friday, so hurry up and get your name in!

Happy Monday, or if you like me and off after Wednsday, then it's really a three day week, so happy Wednesday!

Headbands!!

So, my new love right now are these awesome headbands I have been making for my etsy shop. They are perfect for the winter months, but are oh so cute and won't mess up your hair! I'm working on a few more colors and varieties, so keep your eye out for some new stuff in the shop. In the mean time, check out the new headbands and stationary added below!

Who made your bag?

Introducing MEND - A new handbag line from Invisible Children handmade by Ugandan women who are trying to support their families and provide them with a better life. The website gives a brief video on each individual women who works for MEND. Who wouldn't want to support them?

Great job IC. I am continually impressed with the work you do in Uganda.

Want to learn more about Invisible children, check out their website. Zach and I have been TRI members for about a year now and have been involved in events they do to help stop the fighting in Uganda.

Fall Weekend

This past weekend we definitely celebrated all things fall.

We drove took a trip to St. Louis to visit my family and my brother who drove in from Arkansas. This is a typical photo of the two of us. See the family resemblance?

On saturday Zach and I watched my niece Gabrielle for the afternoon. We had SOO much fun playing in the leaves! Gabrielle could not wait to jump in!

She got some free stickers at Trader Joe's and we were all required to wear them on our noses.

We've both pretty much decided that our first child is almost guaranteed to look like my niece, I mean she already looks like our kid! :)

Sunday was filled with pumkin patches and apple picking. It started raining for a bit, but we didn't let that ruin our fun!

All in all, a great fall weekend!

New Items!

I added a few new items to my Etsy last week! I hope you enjoy!


















Also, in other news, I signed up for my first craft show/holiday market! I'm pretty excited to see how it goes. I'm also thinking about signing up for a month-long holiday market in St. Louis, called the Foundrie. It's a month-long shopping store/event and it's the first week they've decided to do this, so it may be sort of an experiment, but I have about a week to decide. Plus side, it's at Chesterfield Mall, which is like 5 min from my parents house, in a VERY wealthy area, downside: it cost's a hundred bucks...

What should I do?

I'll eat you up, I love you so...

It's fall and I really want to go...

Apple Picking!

When we were younger we used to go

to a farm in eastern Illinois called Eckert's. I remember going there and picking apples, and sometimes pumpkins. And then we would go into the little shop and I would get a straw of honey and suck on it all afternoon.

OH man, I need to find a place on this side of Missouri that has the same atmosphere!

Rosatti's Pizza

So in July, a group of us girls went to Chicago for a fun bachelorette weekend. One night we waited close to 3 hours for the famous Girodano's pizza. And it was totally worth the wait. I swear I have been craving it ever since.

Well, last night we discovered that Kansas City has a substitute for that amazing pizza. Rosati's. Absolutley delicious.

Chicago Deep Dish = Amazing in my mouth!

Try it, you will see!

Golden Delicious

A beautiful set of items that represent the changing of seasons!

Awesome video, awesome band, awesome song.

Boston lost his manhood

Our awesome little pup, Boston, was nuetered this weekend. About a month before he turned two. Why did we wait so long? Because in Kansas City it would have cost almost 3oo bucks. So we eventually decided that it needed to be done and made an appointment in Nevada, Mo. (Zach's hometown). It was about half the price and they took care of hime pretty well.

He has been so tired since his surgery. Sleeping all day and just sitting on the ground staring at us. I can almost hear him sometimes saying "Why did you do this to me?? I thought you loved me?!"

We do Boston, we do. Its for the benefit of us all.

I will leave you with his irresistable face.
