Giveaway #3

Giveaway Now Closed 

My hot tea in the afternoon or morning coffee isn't quite complete without my Monogrammed Travel Mug.  I have to be honest, this is one of my favorite things that is somewhat dependent on the weather.  I tend to drink more hot beverages when it is cold and my go-to mug is, of course, my monogrammed mug.  I have a couple of inserts...blue floral with a green monogram and a brown floral with an orange monogram.  I'm a purist.  I like monograms.  I particuarly like the Empire monogram with my initials.  That is exactly what you'll find on my mug.

 If you don't have one of these, you need one. You'll be the coolest mom at dance or soccer practice and especially the coolest mom in the carpool line.  You'll be the hippest chick in class or on your way to work.  Your co-workers will look at you with envy.  That may be a bit extreme, but this mug is pretty rad. Yes.  "Rad".  To use a word from childhood...I am turning 32 tomorrow, you know.

This little gem stays in my purse.  It houses all the necessities.  You may remember this post where I spilled the contents of my silver floral cosmetic bag.  {as an aside, Palmer's CocoButter Lip Balm = still the best!}  This is another of my can't-live-with-out-it items that I know you'll love too!

In honor of the fact that I'll be blowing out 32 candles on Saturday,  I decided to giveaway a few of my favorite things this week {Today, Thursday & Friday to be exact}.  Oprah can do it.  I can too.

Here is how we'll orchestrate the giveaway festivities.....

Got it?   Make Sense?  If not you know where to reach me!  It's not rocket science....it's free stuff!

Enough chatter.  The first "Favorite Things Giveaway" item is something that I use everyday.  Seriously, everyday.  I think my morning would unravel without my Navy & Apple Polka Dot Spa Wrap.  I travel with it.  It is that important.  You'll think so too when you win this giveaway.  Pinkie Swear.

Happy Birthday--Super Late

So, My sister's birthday was LAST Saturday and I am a total slacker and haven't blogged in ages and totally missed blogging about her Birthday. I was with her, so not blogging makes it a little better right?! Here are some photos of my little "seester's" 28th Birthday. We were in Birmingham and ate at Highland Bar & Grill--an adventure in eating including rabbit, beef carpaccio and eggplant.

Happy Birthday Kiki, I love you!

The Birthday Girl

I'm Back!

Holy Cow! We didn't roll into our driveway until 4 o'clock this morning, but we are home safe and sound. I know that there are many travelers who were not able to make it home and will be stranded for days, so I am thankful to have made it in the wee hours of the morning.

A few reminders for this week....

Tomorrow will be the SITSmas giveaway. The SITS girls {The Secret is in the Sauce} are great, check out their website and you'll be addicted too!

Thursday I'll be celebrating the big day with bloggy birthday fun you won't want to miss.

Friday is the last day to place an order at http://www.monogramchick.com/ to gaurantee Christmas delivery, please order now {pretty please?}

I will not be around as much in the next couple of weeks as I try to process and stitch orders (often past o'dark-thirty at night), but I will be lurking and missing y'all and will come back in full force once ALL the orders are shipped.

Until then, I will leave you with some "Preppy Decorating Tips" I found out in cyberspace. Maybe y'all will have time to pull some of these off, because right now I can only dream that the Christmas elves will come give my house some preppy Chirstmas decor!

• Cable-knit cuffs add a soft touch to stockings trimmed with playful belts and a bow
• Tie ribbons to boughs or loop them into a chain for your tree
• The mantel will look nice dressed up with evergreen branches sprinkled with glass balls and mini white trees. Finish the look with swag of twisted ribbons.
• For something different with gift wrapping, skip all the holiday-themed gift wrap and use colorful stripes or cheerful checks. Coordinate the colors and mix as many different patterns as you desire.
• To liven up your window views, string glass ornaments on bright ribbons across the window.
• Balance preppy polka-dots and striped prints with solid-colored balls.
• Create a corduroy stocking: Stuff a store-bought corduroy stocking with paper. Fold a six-inch length of cable-knit fabric over the top of the stocking and affix with hot glue. Attach bows and belts with hot glue.
• To make ribbon chains for the tree: Each loop: layer two equal lengths of coordinated (not matching) ribbon; affix lengths with double-sided tape. Align ends to make loop and attach with double-sided tape.
