{exhaling}

I'm unwinding after a terribly hectic 2 weeks at work and have been blog hopping tonite -so fun and so many creative people that are so inspiring out there! Let me show you where I went: I first started with a cute site that my sista sent me: Brown Paper Packages--oh very cute ideas on this cute blog! Then I clicked on an idea she liked from a really neat husband and wife team blog: I really need this set up -on the left- that I found at this blog: kevinandamanda.com...i got get my platters and casserole dishes into this arrangement! Off to walmart to check these out on my days off! They also have amazing FREE fonts here! After I downloaded a bunch of free fonts I headed over to: centsational girl- where I saw an amazing office re-do- so inspiring! then I went over to a new blog: Roman and Williams work- and i ga-ga'd over the amazing work these two do- I am looking for decorating inspiration and i think i might start here! So how is that you found me? and landed on my little blog? Does it speak to you? Do you like what Iike? talk to me, I'm so scared to let people know about my blog! Just the other day I looked and saw that I have 17 followers! Wow! It's mostly comprised of people I don't know! How is this? I want to make special mention of my first 17 followers- in fact I think my next blog If i ever have another one, will be called: 17followers! I should run and check if that blog name is taken! teehee! I live for comments! ...15 mins later...the blog address is available- sweet!

{Williams Sonoma Spices}

Doesn't this collection at Williams Sonoma look amazing? They are affordable also. I can't wait to go pick some out and the best thing is that they have a recipe for each spice they sell! Chilies, Salts, Ground Spices, Spice Blend, Curries and Sweets. The Chinese five spice sounds like something I have been looking for! Hello... Saigon Cinnamon???

{fall project #1}

So i just got back from holidays and was deciding on what projects to work on this fall. I always do a purge or organize closets in the fall- why? because it's much cooler!!! But I have most of that done already due to "looking for something" this summer! I have almost finished the main floor and now want to start looking at some products as I shop around and get one of the boys rooms started this fall. I realize I only have so much say and I also realize he will one day move on so I would like to make the most of his room as I can. I really don't want to go too kiddie, I'd rather the room go with the house colors. So I've started looking at the colors in these rooms: What do you think?
