back online & a photo shoot
Boy, I have really missed having internet over the weekend. I had plenty to keep myself busy, but it was such a bummer not being able to post or check my e-mail. It’s such an outlet for me and it was tough not having it. Anyway, we got a new router today and we are […]
Forced Vacation
Well, my internet has been down since last night and it won’t be repaired until Monday. 🙁 I had my mom type a post for me, but I now figured out how to login from my phone. (Thank goodness for iPhones!) I’m supposed to be running a giveaway for a Silhouette Cameo right now, but […]

Here’s what the bathroom looked like when I […]
The Stylish Patina Barn (and giveaway)
I’ve mentioned my friend (picker and sponsors as well), Kelly of Stylish Patina, in the past. She is a gal who has decided to follow her passion for treasure hunting and turn it into a business. Kelly currently sells out of two locations, including The Foundry just outside of Washington, DC. She’s now gone a […]
