Yea! It is finally Friday! After a very tough week, I thought I would give you a bit of cheer to start a great weekend. Take a little time to write a quick note to a friend, because there is nothing better than to receive a bright note in the mailbox. I have formatted this [...]

It’s time for more of my favorite color palettes. Today, I am going to share two so beautiful they could bring a tear to a glass eye. First is Mango Margarita by caff. It just makes my mouth water when I look at it. So summery – I love mangoes…I love mango margaritas even more! [...]

I purchased this desk at a local antiques mall for $35. I really like the lines of it, and I really need to set up a designated work area in my house for my computer work. I get really distracted when I sit in front of the TV and blog or design or whatever…I can’t [...]
