Fireplace Transition into Fall
As the beginning of October approaches (and temperatures start to drop), I'm REALLY looking forward to fall - specifically - nights by the fire! A few weeks ago my family was kind enough to help me stock up on firewood, so I should be all set there (for a short...
My Favorite Child
As a parent, you're not supposed to have a favorite child. And if you do, you're certainly not supposed to say it out loud (gasp - much less write it down). Luckily, my "children" aren't able to read, so they'll never know that I've betrayed them this way. I have a...
Tailgate Style Shoot
In preparation of creating the Tailgating Guide for Calligraphy Etc., I'm not gonna lie - I needed a little help. Well, a lot of help, actually. From the prepping of the food to gathering the props in 95 degree heat (thank you Suzanne!), the styling of the shots for...
DIY Turf Tailgate Runner
Fall is here! Well, technically it doesn't feel like it yet since temps are in the 90's, but the arrival of September means that at least it's on the way! Fall is my favorite season - I love everything about it - the arrival of pumpkins, leaves changing color, hot...
Paper Straw Pennants
I love the idea of having a "little something extra" to amp up your decorative paper straws for any occasion... so why not a pennant for football season? It's perfect for other sports themed events too- maybe a baseball baby shower or basketball birthday party? It's...
Stationery Academy 2013
This weekend I had the pleasure of attending the 2013 Stationery Academy in Dallas! I was so blown away by the caliber of the women attending this workshop, as well as those that were leading it. In fact, it was what I would call, "information overload". Seriously. ...
Radioactive Glassware
A few weeks ago, mom and I stumbled upon an estate sale. Most of the stuff was overpriced, so we walked away almost empty-handed, but there were a few items that we had been eying (and of course waiting for the "half price" day to follow). Our first treasure was a...
Freezing Hatch Green Chiles
August is beautiful month. To me it means: Back to school (yay for school supplies!), slightly cooler weather (wishful thinking in Texas, but it DOES mean we're on the road to fall)... and hatch green chiles are in season! I mean, look at these beauties. They're...
10 Days + A Spinal Tumor
This past week and a half has been a complete roller coaster of emotion...it's only been ten days, but it feels like it's been three weeks! I won't say it's been the longest 10 days of my life (that would be too dramatic -and I AM trying to keep things in perspective...
Seed Savvy
Although I *wish* I had a green thumb like my mother, I must admit that I've got a lot to learn... and one trick that my mom taught me early this summer is how to jumpstart seeds before I plant them in the garden. For this "trick", you'll need a few Ziploc plastic...
Medicine Cabinet Cleanout
I've been on a bit of a cleaning kick lately, so when I decided to tackle the medicine cabinet, I had to seek assistance for the "appropriate way" of disposing of medication was these days. When I was kid, mom used to flush them down the toilet, but I think that's...
Back from the ATL
Well, as usual, Atlanta Market this past weekend was a whirlwind! To start my day off right, American Airlines randomly canceled my flight (at 5:45 am for a 9:30 departure), so I was forced to snag another flight and scramble to the airport in less than an hour......
