Following My Dreams: Thirty-One is in the House!

Did you know that one of my best friends is also a blogger?  It's been great since she moved from the PA/DE area down to Florida last year, her blog posts have helped me to get an extra glimpse into her life :)  She also loves Thirty-One, like me, and recently blogged about it.  Check it out and don't forget to leave her a comment :)

Following My Dreams: Thirty-One is in the House!: If you haven't yet been to a Thirty-One bag party, you are so missing out.  They have all the fun patterns, solids and styles you could ask...

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope that you and your families have a great day planned. We're heading out to go on our camping trip today, but check-in isn't until 3, so we'll have some time in the day to relax. I picked up a little bit of decorations for our cabin at the Christmas Tree shop yesterday, but I'm hoping to see someplace that sells sparklers for the boys on our drive up to Lancaster. Have fun!
