Wrapping it up...

gosh...i can't believe it's Friday already.

time to wrap up another week.

ever feel like you lose track of what day it is?

okay, here goes another example of my very random mind...

our little Southern Belle Tutu Shoppe

(that's what we call it these days:)...

is booming!

want to know what we'll be doing the next month or so?

making tutus!!!

 all of a sudden we have orders for:

28 Sugarplum tutus

20 Nutcracker Tutus

13 tutus for a local shop

4 flower girl tutu dresses

1 Dalmatian tutu (Halloween costume)

YIKES----66 TuTus!

it's going to be a house full of TULLE:)

moving on...

a few things i've been meaning to write about.

if you have a teen, help out with a youth group, anywhere you influence teens...

make sure they've seen the movie Soul Surfer!

 we've watched it a few times and also have her devotional.

it's about Bethany Hamilton, the surfer who lost her arm to a shark

a few years back.

 what a beautiful christian young lady with an even MORE

beautiful testimony!

one of the Shabby Chicks favorite new TV shows...

The Picker Sisters.

 Yeehaw...it is SO much fun!

2 best friends from the south, opening a home decor store in Los Angeles,

and to fill the store, they hit the road and"pick up" junk...and I do mean JUNK...

take it to LA and with the help of their carpenter, make cool

and VERY unique items to sell in their store.

They meet the funniest characters along the way...

it's just a cute, fun...clean show.

can't beat that now can you?

now, can you say PINTEREST?

oh yes, i waste WAY too much time there I'm sure...

but if you do something with even ONE of the many cool ideas you find there,

you're doing pretty good.

i'm actually thinking of making a blog meme thingy

called "pinterest party" where you link up a blog post of

few favorite photos for the week from pinterest.

what do you think?

if only I knew how to make a blog button for it...oh well!

okay, it's tough to choose but here are a few of mine for this week...

funny...

 this is me:)

sweet...

 

 i soooooo want one of my girls to get married in a barn...

and Maui can be their flower girl! :)

about Faith...

 acorn donuts...glazed donut hole, chocolate frosting on one end with choc. sprinkles and a pretzel stick.  So cute and yummy!

  LOVE the bench and the sweet saying...

 to die for chandelier!!!!

well, that's all she wrote!

i'd love to say i'll be back tomorrow but we all know how that goes so just in case...

have a GREAT weekend!

F is for Fun Friday...Fake Tans, Friends and Funny Stuff...

Fun Friday...

I remember when my girls were at school, they had Fun Friday.

they still had to do school work but there was just a

TINY bit more fun in their day.

so i suggest we have a FUN Friday too, starting with fake tans:)

okay, I am officially THE fake tan QUEEN!

(i knew  was the queen of something:)

don't get me wrong...I've fried my skin in the past...

and while it's still pretty much okay,

I am well aware my day will come!

so now, other than a light tan...

(vitamin D, you know:)

i FAKE it!

FAKE TANS...

my first fake tan was Sudden Tan.

remember that stuff?

i have to laugh when i think of all the times I went around

with streaks and smudges from a BAD fake tan

and smelled really bad!

but NO MORE!!!

because I have discovered an at home airbrush tan by L'Oreal...

that I LOVE!!!!!

airbrush tans can be expensive...

and can smell too...but not this stuff.

it sprays on in any direction, 

doesn't smell bad,

dries VERY quick.

it's WAY cheaper than getting it done at a salon ($10)

and the can lasts about 5 or 6 tans.

last night I gave Jordan a spray tan and today...my turn!

check it out if you need a HEALTHY glow:)

 

FRIENDS...
so, my buddy "AL" keeps dropping by for a visit.
ever have a friend that just wouldn't go away?
it's not like we have a lot in common or anything...
and he's starting to be a pest!
he did let me snap his picture the other day,
although I told him he could have SMILED or something...
but instead he looks grumpy.
what do you think?

i really wish he would just go away
but he says he was here first.
yeah, right.
guess that's why they say WE live in the SWAMP...
because we do:)
 

FUNNY STUFF
i think I'm pretty good at texting...
FOR MY AGE!
there, I said it.
my girls may not agree...
but at least I've never done something like this...


OMG (see...I know some of it)
this poor lady! heeheehee
FUNNY STUFF!

 

I think I'll pass on this restaurant...

 

seriously?????

haha!

that's it for now...

happy FUN Friday:)

A Few Rules of Life...

 Well...maybe not rules but tips.

Or suggestions.

Guess this is just where I'm at these days:)

Tip number one...

don't bother reading further if you're hoping to find some 

terribly intellectual thoughts.

(Haven't spent much time around here, have you?)

Okay, so here we go...

Remember coloring?

I always loved to color.

One of the things I looked forward to was coloring with

my grandchildren.

I'm still looking forward to it...

but now they will probably be much better at it than me:)

So color a picture and give it to someone to make them smile...

like you did when you were 5.

I know it would make me smile:)

Ever heard of tying a string on your finger to remember

to do something?

How about this...

remember to tell someone that you love them:)

Take a nap.

They don't call it "beauty sleep" for nothing!

Spend time with a friend...

Buy some bright, fun rain boots...

and go splash in a puddle

Whipped cream goes with everything...

so the next time someone asks if you want whipped cream on top...

say YES !!!!!!!!!!!

And by the way, if you've never squirted whipped cream 

straight from the can into your mouth, 

you've totally missed out on one of life's greatest treats!

Okay...

admit it.

At some time in your life you were either yelled at for

jumping on the bed...

or maybe you did the yelling.

So today...

jump on the bed.

It's fun...and the same people who say it ruins the mattress

are the same ones who say eating cookie dough will kill you.

Please...how many people do YOU know who died from eating cookie dough???
I know...salmonella...but I survived sneaking dough...and you will too.

So this brings me to the next one...

 EAT THE COOKIE DOUGH!

Go ahead...lick the spoon or the beater:)

You know you want to!!!

And please forgive me for one more food item...

Oh yeah...I believe in that one for sure!

Well, that's it for today.

Another not so brilliant blog post from me!

Looks like I can cross at least one thing off my "to do" list for today.

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!!!!
