My First Swap!

I have recently become fascinated with blog swaps. I've done a few and they are so much fun! So I've decided to do my own!

I love purses. And wallets. I have a hard time not going to look at purses when I go shopping. SO what would be better than PURSES?! So here we go, Ladies! Your mission is to send a great purse. One that you would actually use. Don't just send your cast offs! Send a wallet, include something you always have in your purse. Lipstick? Notepad? Kitchen sink?! (JUST kidding!!)

You have until October 16th to sign up. (PLEASE sign up!!) I will then announce the partners and the swap date. I really hope this goes well. I have had fun with several swaps. Spread the word too!!

Be sure to grab the button on my sidebar for your blog!

*Note: My amazing fiance has gotten into the whole blog swap too. He's not participating in them, but he is helping me with ideas. In fact, he came up with the idea for THIS one! So, thank you sweetheart!*

Much Love,

Beverage Swap Pics!

I participated in the Beverage Swap from MRM's blog. It was so much fun! We had to send a drink, a cute mug or cup, something with the beverage "theme". My swap partner was Samantha. She emailed me after the partners were announced, to get an idea of what I liked. And boy did she do good!! Here are some pics!

Awesome candle.

Yummy Yummy In My Tummy!

So in the last couple of weeks I've been cooking more. I made some yummy banana nut bread.

Just wanted to post some pics!

What to do with a Naked Wall?

I've never really noticed it before. But with the light of my laptop shining in the dark, it's very prominent.

I have a naked wall. Bright white. Shining in all it's glory. What's a girl to do?! I can't paint it, because we rent. I can't put furniture there, because it's right by my bed. I need some type of wall art.

Any suggestions? I'm open to anything.

Much Love,

Twitter Gone Mad!

I'm not sure if it's Twitter, or Blogger, but my Twitter feed was showing someone else's tweets. And they were NOT nice. Cussing out the wazoo! Has someone hacked into my Twitter?!

Much Love,

Lemons

I just saw this on a message forum I'm a member of...

When life gives you lemons...squeeze them in to your sweet tea
