Trick or Treat, Let's have a Giveaway!

The air is cooling, the leaves are turning and the pumpkins are making their way from the patches to our doorsteps. Fall is my favorite season of the year. I love all that fall brings; the rich colors, the savory scents, and the brisk autumn air. As a child I loved dressing up for Halloween and always looked forward to my mom's handmade costumes.

I know my sister (the bride) and I (the nurse) would have loved a personalized treat bag to carry on Halloween night to stash all our loot!

I can't decide which is my favorite; the Black and Orange Bucket Totes, The Spooktacular Eco Totes, or the Classic Black Trick or Treat Tote but one thing is for sure--whether your passing out candy in the front yard or sending your little one off to Trick or Treat they will hold some serious candy!

Since Halloween is right around the corner and we had 60 degree weather here in the Midwest today, I'm feeling like giving away a Classic Black "Trick or Treat" Halloween Tote! Leave a comment with your favorite costume you wore as a kid and I'll draw a winner on Friday.

Custom Decals for one Tangled Chick

I love SITS, I have met some of the most amazing bloggers through those Saucy Girls. Not the least of whom is Rhea, over at Texas Word Tangle. This girl is awesome! She is one of those daily visits that you just can't wait to read. I was honored when she asked me to design a decal for her vehicle around her blog.

Rhea was terrific to work with and was so kind to blog about her custom decal. Through this amazing chick, I met Jen over at Buried With Children and created a custom decal for her van, overflowing with kiddos!

I love custom work, be it vinyl or embroidery! Have an idea? Email me, and let's make your idea reality!

Check out Rhea's mommy-mobile:

Thanks Rhea, for making my job so much fun! Hope you love your decal!

A Sweet, Sweet Man

In my book, my husband has the market cornered on being sweet and thoughtful, he is seriously a wonderful man who gives unconditional support and love. There are many great men out there and we love them for it!

Exhibit A:

{A gift purchased yesterday by a husband for his wife with the following gift message.}

To my lovely wife, I am always thinking of you and you are doing an AMAZING job with our son. I love you more and more every day!

Did your heart not just melt?! Bless this man's heart! I do not personally know this customer, but I sure do think he's a swell guy and she's one lucky mama!

This is what he bought her, I smudged the personalization because this girl deserves a surprise!

Tagged, I'm It!

Thanks to Kappa Prep, I found a great new blogger friend, Nina. Nina tagged me for a little bloggy fun. Check out Nina's blog, she is super cute, preppy, and so talented! Thanks Nina, for the tag, here goes:

7 Wierd/Random Facts About Me:

1. I must wear socks to bed, without them I don't sleep.

2. I L-O-V-E Diet Coke specifically fountain Diet Coke. I don't drink Diet Coke from a can or bottle. I am partial to McDonald's fountain Diet Cokes, they taste better than any other fountain I've found, really. I also am an ice snob. The Great American Cookie Co and Sonic have the best ice. If you could combine their ice with MickyD's Diet Coke, I'd be in heaven.

3. I live in Iowa but have my hair cut in Birmingham, Alabama. Strange, I know. But whenever we go home to Georgia I make a trip to Joel in Birmingham to have my hair cut. I've been with Joel since 1998 and through 4 salons!

4. I hate mouth noises. Odd that I married a dentist. {He does not make mouth noises}

5. I have lots of jeans (into the double digits) but only ever wear 3 pair of them.

6. I hoard pens, markers and good wooden pencils. I love sharpies--colorful ones, clickable ones, fine ones, really any ones.

7. I had my picture taken with Sarah Palin last week.
