The accountant took a look at the bottom line and pretty much told me......
no.can.do.
I mean...can you imagine......all of us......mingling around my backyard.....
with pastries being handed around....
wine and chilled Bellini's being served.....
a small jazz band in the corner.....
yup......
it all got thrown out the door.
I even had all the invitations labeled and stamped...
all ready to be picked up by my famous mailman....
and i even had a babysitter all lined up for the wee one's....
but it all came down to....
the bottom line.
I am thankful.
I am thankful....for having a husband that let's me be myself....
that doesn't care that i'm always asking ...and talking....and let's the wheels in my head go
round and round....
he let's me make our home into a place that let's my creativity blossom...
a place where he drinks his beer on white slip covered sofa's.
{i won't mention the feet on my pretty white painted table...}
I am thankful......
i am thankful that i have a sensitive...beautiful ....smart...and pleasure seeking boy named Mason.
I am thankful..
i am thankful to have a beautiful...outgoing....strongwilled....girl named Lola....
i am thankful to have a ..stop you in your tracks.....smiling....loving.....could never do any wrong
little boy named Fin.
I am thankful.
I am also thankful to have you......
you....who tell me i'm normal when i'm pulling my hair out......
you....who listen to me talk nonstop about the little things....
you...who encourage me....
you....who shop with me....
you...and you....and you.
Well......
so we might not be having a huge backyard...wine drinking party......but we can have a little giveaway....
that, we can have.
The details.The scoop. The giveaway.
$150 gift card to Anthro....to buy your own pair of swanky shoe's. {one lucky winner}
$100 package from my little shop...Lola b's {one lucky winner}
$50 restaurant gift card {one lucky winner}
and a surprise little something for someone {oh..it'll be good..}

What a beautiful layout! This reminds me of stepping back in time. The things you have for sale make me want to go exploring in your store, see and touch things if there was a brick and mortar store. I have a feeling I would enjoy creating and searching and exploring with you to find these things or make them.Lovely!

love love love your stuff & hope i win it! themunns at gmail
dang, 700 posts and still another day to go. you'll be reading these for hours, maybe days. i just scanned through 200 and my eyes are sore.
i'll be honest, i've never read your blog before. heard about your giveaway on someone else's blog, posted in order to up their chances at winning(great idea, by the way). the anthro card was the perfect carrot to dangle, so tantalizing i couldn't resist. . .
i just started following blogs and love how a link on one will lead you to another 12 pages and before you know it an hour has passed and nothing on your to-do list is done yet. the short version=glad that i found your blog/shop even if i don't win anything. i added the adventures of you and yours my google reader.

Your family is beautiful! Thanks for the great giveaway. I'm now following you on twitter also.
I adore your site, SO MUCH, that I have now become a follower. I will also be blogging about your incredible giveaway. Thank you so much for doing this! You're great.
*Sidenote - I want some of your muscle relaxer stuff that you are sold out of... Will you be getting some more? Or can you tell me where I can get some? I have an over-worked hubby that would totally appreciate this stuff!! THANK YOU!
I got to your I'm thankful part about your husband and my eyes started welling with tears...then i got to the I'm thankful part about your children and the tears poured. I am so blessed that I too share a family like yours and it makes me emotional every time! Beautifully written. You are truly an incredible inspiration. Thank you.

Wow! I just came across your blog and fell in love. Congratulations on your 300th!
By the way I follow!
I'm a follower now! (I should've done this a while ago since I am a huge fan.) Oh, and I really can relate with you and the friendship lost with the loss of a baby. I've had a lot of friends go through similar circumstances, and although I've tried to be supportive, some of those friends allowed it to cause a rift in between us no matter how I tried. I can totally relate. And I hope and pray that your friendship can be restored as I pray the same for mine...
Fabulous giveaway!
