Sleeve Me!

I'm on the search for a stylish, yet sturdy and affordable laptop sleeve for my MacBook Pro for work.  I currently own this cute sleeve for my MB at home, but it's too small for the Pro version.  Any suggestions?  Kinda liking this one from ccommeca.

She Had Me In Cross Stitches!

I adore these adorable and modern cross stitch designs from Grace and Light "Stitching Happiness".

Shiny Paper Earrings

I wrote about this site in another post.  I haven't been by for a visit in a while because, again with the busyness!!  However, I'll admit, I do enjoy catching up on blogs after a few days because you get to scroll down and find so many interesting updates that you've missed out on and you instantly remember why you originally started following that specific blog.

I love this gemstone earring idea.  As a kiddo, I would have totally loved doing this project with my mom.  Of course, back then they would have been stick-ons.  As an adult, I think they're just as fun!  Time to get out all of those magazines I've been saving up and do a little clipping ;)

A Modern Gentleman

Like this. A lot. How many of you ladies out there have a fella who could learn from this?  Not all of them need this.  Some learn well and others are just different in their approach... and need a little assistance.

Anyway, this book is all too stylish in its appearance, which for most gals, honestly, will pick it out just for that ;)

Let It Snow

Hello Friends and Happy 2011!  I've been getting back into the groove on blogging, well, very slowly, but trying ;)  

Remember that page I shared out of a book of my life?  Here are a few pictures from that page.  It's our trip to Whistler, BC.  Such a beautiful place and a wonderful time of year to visit!  It snowed most of the time we were there, and then we were greeted with a warm sun the last two days.  

My dad was the planner and he did an awesome job of putting together our memorable trip including delicious food and activities such as snowmobiling and a sleigh ride.  

If you haven't been, you must go at least once!!

An Email of Desperation

This is an email from my 11-year-old brother to my dad.  I think it's too funny!  Not sure where he got his facts, but it sounds like a pretty good phone deal ;)
