Am I the only one having trouble remembering it is September?  I started typing August.  Seriously, this year has flown by.  We wanted to stop in to say thanks to our fantastic sponsors, IHeart Organizing and Samantha Kay Jewelry.

As you already know, Jen is my blog BFF.  Jen and her hubby have created a beautiful home and we’re lucky enough to read about it on a daily basis.  I’m loving their basement remodel, including Jen’s new studio space and a new dressing room, complete with a beautifully stenciled wall.

Talk about love.  Now I’m kinda regretting having white trim in every room.  I’d love to have a wall paper-esque, interesting patterned space.

Samantha Kay Jewelry is a new Etsy shop, but chock full of beautiful accessories.  The Mary Kay Cadillac Necklace is beautiful and simple.

The Lil Jon Necklace is interesting and unique.

How about this Cinderella Necklace?  So pretty.

I really love Samantha’s interesting jewelry designs and creative names.

Two amazing sponsors, two great Etsy shops, and one blogger keep this humble blog running.  Thank you so much for your support and sharing your creative gifts with the world.

Another Friday and two more winners!  First, let’s discuss annual vacations.  We’re jealous of many of you because you get to take warm weather vacations.  We go to Minnesota several times a year to visit my family.  Not very exciting, warm or exotic.

Anywho, the winners of the January Jones Road Trip prints are…

number 10, Alex and number 23, Katie R.  Congratulations!

Helllooo and happy Friday, friends!  Last week, we asked what you do to soak up summer.  Many answered outdoor barbeques, trips to the beach and playing with the kids while they’re home from school.  Our kids aren’t in school yet, and we don’t have many beaches close by, but we do enjoy lounging on a blanket in the back yard, Ben enjoys golfing and we take family trips on the boat.  In fact, Ben’s brother is visiting from Alaska, so we may take a day trip next week, for one last unofficial summer’s end hoorah.

Enough about us, let’s announce the winner.  Random.org chose number 11, Nicole.  Nicole loves the Summer Meadow print and staying out late with the neighbors while the kids play together.  That does sound nice, huh.

Have a fantastic weekend and do something fun.  See you back here on Monday.
