Snow and Guest Blogging

Snow is beautiful and it makes everything look gorgeous.
We got quite a bit of snow yesterday and it's still sticking around today!
Here's a scene from yesterday:

I'm guest blogging over at Brittany's blog today so check it out here :)
So a special hello and welcome to anyone stopping by from Love Stitched!

To celebrate, I'm sharing my favorite accessories from Brittany's Shop.

I love the fresh colors of fabric she uses in her rosettes!
These are just some of my favorites so check out what else she's got here!

Another Calendar

I know...I did a post about 2011 calendars not too long ago

but since then I have ran into this beauty and must share.

This is Whipup's third annual calendar. You have the choice of ordering the printable pdf or an already printed version from Redbubble. My choice would be the pdf - you get three different versions of the calendar and can print as many as you'd like for just five dollars. Wonderful huh?

The calendar features twelve amazing crafters.

This would be great for my sewing nook to catch a glimpse of some inspiration here and there :)

Hello early Christmas for me! ha

Christmas is Coming!

So I ran into this magazine online - I don't even remember what led me to it but I am so glad whatever it was did. Talk about some serious Holiday Decoration Inspiration.

Check out Gifted Magazine here.

It's put together by Ez of Creature Comforts Blog.

Her blog is amazing and chalk full of tutorials and free printables.

I felt like I hit the jackpot with this find today and just had to share!

Some Etsy Item Loves

The year 2011 is approaching which means....

it's time to find that new pretty calendar!

I know my older sister will appreciate this post: she gets a new calendar every year for Christmas.

This year I think I should join.

Etsy has a wonderful selection. Here are some I've found that I love.

There are so many calendars out there! Obviously these that I have here play different rolls. I think I will get one for my wall and then one planner...but then those little mini calendars for my purse would be cute too. Would 3 calendars be ridiculous? The great thing about this mini one is that it's only six dollars and it comes in pdf format so I can print tons of them - I'm thinking gift ideas? (sisters, mom, mil pretend like you didn't hear that one...) Perhaps that will make 3 calendars more justifiable...perhaps.

What type calendar is your favorite and what should I chose!?

Free Canvas, anyone? Yes, Please!!

I heard about this over at Tatertots and Jello and had to share!

The Canvas People are basically giving away Photo Canvases.

8x10s are free and others are marked down by 50 or so percent.

So thanks to Tatertots and Jello I knew to head on over there and order this on a big canvas:

This is my favorite picture from our wedding!

Check out our photographer Angele Franklin here.

We've been wanting to get this on a big canvas since we got our pictures back

and now is the perfect time!

Hope you are all having a great night!

Kyle still has those kidney stones and they're hurting him tonight :/

Please pray he gets over these soon!
