Happy Friday all!!

I hope you’re having a blast this summer! It feels like it’s flying by doesn’t it?? :)

I can’t wait to show off the Features today! Every week you amaze me with your creativity!

You all know I’m a sucker for anything Anthropologie right?? :)
Check out this darling Flower Pillow knockoff by Elise at Fleur D’Elise Design!!
Not only is it adorable – but this is Elise’s FIRST tutorial on her brand new blog. She did a fabulous job!!!

I love the combination of lemon and berries – and this Blackberry Lemon Sour Cream Cake from Niki at Bubblecrumb sounds sooooo yummy!
It looks super easy too!

Check out these Stuffed Peanut Butter Pops from Lil’ Luna! They look so great and are part of her fabulous Lemonade Stand.
(If you haven’t checked out Lil’ Luna you should definitely go. Kristyn is sooooooo talented!!!)

This dresser redo from Jenni at The Roseland Family turned out great!! And I’m loving the blue she chose – it looks so pretty with the way she distressed it!

Sumo from Sumo’s Sweet Stuff has a great tutorial for these darling Strip Baby Blankets!
They look so soft! And super quick to whip up before your next baby shower!

And one last treat for you (I must be hungry today) – take a look at these Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes from Landee See Landee Do!
Um. Yes please.

Thanks so much for linking up to Think Pink Sundays!

If you were featured and would like a button – they’re on the sidebar!

Ok – now for some quick highlights of the week!

Kitten update:
I promise not to turn into a crazy cat lady but I wanted to give those of you who left sweet comments on my Kitten Post an update on how he’s doing.
We’re all adjusting well – though everything takes longer because there is now a kitten in the middle of all of it jumping on things and trying to eat whatever I’m doing. Paper is especially tasty apparently. lol.
Xray is slowly adjusting and now views him as a mild irritant rather than The Worst Thing To Ever Happen To Him.
And yes. He’s still nameless. I think I’m overthinking it. I know I am. We will name him this weekend. We will!!!

Weird Searches of the Week:
So I get a lot of “Toe” Searches. This week we had, “Tattoos on Toes” (um. OUCH) and “toe under the table” (double ouch). And why are people searching for that? It’s a mystery to me. Are there a lot of Toe under the Table accidents?
We also had “flamingo going to school”. We are definitely advocates of higher education for flamingos. We’re having shirts made up. No Flamingo Left Behind.

Movie(s) of the Week:
Apparently we are saving up all our Movie-going for the summer. It’s been crazy! In the last couple of weeks we’ve seen Green Lantern (Hello Ryan Reynolds), Monte Carlo (super cute), Bridesmaids (I think I’m scarred from the Food Poisoning scene) and of course Harry Potter (which I loved). Have we missed anything great? Do you go to movies more during the summer?

Thanks for checking in – I’ll see ya’ll tomorrow evening for the Think Pink Sunday!!!

My To Do List

19
Jul 2011

Beverly

I don’t know about you but my To-Do List is a mile long.

There are soooo many projects that I want to do. I’m thinking about giving up sleeping.
Or at least cutting it down to 2-3 hours a night. That’s enough right? :)

And everytime I read another blog, scroll through Pinterest, or check into Anthro, it grows longer. (Which let’s be honest, is fairly often.)
So I thought I’d share just a TINY FEW of the projects on my list.

I’m really in love with this skirt. The denim paired with the sweet fabric underneath is just too cute!

How cute is this tablecloth?? Kendra from Me and My Insanity created this one and while I love this red, white and blue, I think I’m going to make mine a little more general – so I can use it all summer!

I’m going to Mod Podge some shoes. I’ve been wanting too forever – I even have the shoes. I just can’t decide what to do!
Check out these cool shoes – see why it’s hard to decide??

I’m going to skip paying $298 for this at Drift Away Comforter at Anthro and make a knockoff version.
I’m thinking a nice Burgundy or Olive Green.

This one has been on my list forever. I love papercuts but you all know that I’m not so gifted in that area. So I really want to make this and I keep putting it off.
But I’ll get too it eventually – it’s too cute not to do! Alice is one of my favorite books and these scene is so perfect.
This comes from a fabulous papercut blog Scherenshnitte.
And yes. I have thought of cutting it out with my Silhouette. But that would be cheating. Right?

Someone has stolen all of my potholders. You think I’m joking but I’m not. They have slowly disappeared over time and now I’m resorting to pulling things out of the oven with folded dishtowels.
Which if you’re a bit (ok a lot) clumsy, is a good way to toast some fingers.
I can’t bring myself to buy them. So I need to get busy and make some. TipNut has gathered some fabulous tutorials and put them all in one post. I like these for inspiration.

And of course – what would a To-Do List be without some Anthro Necklaces?? Well. It wouldn’t be MY To-Do List. :)
These have been on my list long enough that the store doesn’t carry them anymore. Fortunately I was wiley and saved the pictures. Woohoo!

So that’s just a little bit of the things that roll around in my head when I should be sleeping. A very little bit. :)

What about you? What’s on your list? Clothes? Jewelry, Stuff for your House? All of those?? :)
