I am soooo very behind on blogging, as well as just about everything else in my life...so tonight I will try to catch up.

I received my Spring Swap, it was so beautiful...mine will never compare. Problem, I picked it up on the way to the store, my son was driving...I opened it in the car, we shopped all day and all night, he dropped me off, and its still in his car..so I can't post pics till he comes over again, which probably won't be till mid week..but I will as soon as he comes over. Sarah, if you are out there, I cannot find your email address, please contact me!

Secondly, remember this post?My House and What I want it to look like?

Well, read my last line, the disclaimer, carefully....I inserted a disclaimer that if my wanna be house belonged to someone, I apologize and could they come help? Well guess what...it belongs to someone...and she stumbled on my blog...LOL...She has the cutest house and the cutest blog, you must go see it! KattzCottage...LOL...its even a smally cyberspace blog world, who woulda thunk?

Ok....now....remember I keep reminding you of the Pink Diamond Contest at Make Mine Pink???? Well, you have to go find the diamonds,
cause the prizes are just gorgeous! Or, if you are out and about, we are all wearing one of these! Spot the Make Mine Pink member wearing her pin, and you are automatically entered into the drawing, but you must talk to her so she can get your information!

If you lost the link...go !Here to Make Mine Pink for the Diamond details!

And last....but definitely not least....

The Reveal

Well, Lisa and Avalon got their swap gifts from me today, so I can finally post pictures. When I heard little Avalon helped her mom shop for my swap gifts, I just had to include her. Lisa collects Eiffel Towers and her kitchen colors are pink and brown, Avalon likes ballerina's and wants her room done in a French style...so...this is what I sent...the aprons are made with Rachel Ashwell fabric on one side and Michael Miller Eiffel Towers on the other.....this was fun and I am now seriously hooked on swaps!


So here they are with their aprons and the rest of their gifts! Aren't they just the cutest things? (Lisa and Avalon, I mean, not the gifts!)

Lisa is in the process of adopting another child from China! Help me wish her much luck and happiness, and visit her blog and say hi!
