A Sneak Peak and Some Catching Up!

Still trying to get caught up in life!

It seems like every time I get close to finishing

my to-do list,

a million other new things get tacked on!

I'm sure you can all relate!

I've been working on the photos and pricing

of my online shop items.

I'm really hoping to have them listed

within the next week or so.

I'm sprinkling a sneak peak

throughout this post...

I took on another account

for my marketing design business,

so I've been busy creating, designing, etc.

for them all week.

By the way....

it's for a great little shop here in Parker, CO.

Several shops under one roof...

I'll post some photos soon.

Though I miss having my own physical shop,

I must admit,

I've really enjoyed the last month without it.

If life ever calms down,

I hope to have another one!

My daughter has started back to preschool,

so I technically have 8 hours a week of

free "mommy time".

I am really enjoying that!

I hope you're all having a great week.

We are enjoying Fall weather!

How about you???

GIVEAWAY

Hi everyone!

I'm hosting a giveaway over at my other blog

www.rufflednest.blogspot.com .

Feel free to enter!!!

Thanks!

LOVE this place!

For months, they've been in the process

of building a new IKEA

in Centennial, outside of Denver.

I've always heard about it,

browsed their website,

and seen ads for it in certain magazines...

but I was really quite clueless to how

GREAT this place actually is!

It opened a couple of weeks ago and caused

a major traffic issue in that area of town.

People were literally camped out

awaiting the grand opening

like it was American Idol auditions or something!

I waited 2 weeks

to let the madness die down a bit and

finally took the plunge on Friday night

with my husband and 4-year-old daughter.

Let me just say

that it was quite an experience,

like no other shopping center

I've ever been to before!

The biggest surprise was that

they have FREE childcare for an hour

(an hour and a half if you're an IKEA Family Member)!

Bailey begged us to let her go!

No arguments from us!

She had a blast and I found some great deals!

We ended up buying

a white slipcovered sofa,

3 pendant lights for the kitchen,

a down insert,

a duvet,

a linen laundry bag,

and a hanging, metal/lace cut-out lantern

all for under $700!

UNBELIEVABLE PRICES!

Scroll down

to see the rest of my purchases...

If there's something you've had your eye on

while browsing their website,

but don't have an IKEA store near you,

let me know and

I'll be happy to help you get it!!!

Have a great week y'all!

Run to Anthropologie!

I took a trip to the mall this weekend

and, ofcourse,

had to stop in my favorite store...

I was so excited to find these little beauties

on clearance for $2.95 each!

(originally $10.00 each)

I got lucky and found EIGHT of them!

Just in time to fix up my bathroom!

(By the way...we're not moving.

click here for the latest on my life haha!)

All of the cabinets in my home are golden oak

and I despise them.

I'm going to paint them white

(starting with the master bathroom)

and then, I'll add these!

I wasn't able to find these drawer pulls/knobs online,

but if you have an
Anthropologie store near you,

you're likely to find them!

(Better hurry though!)

We are heading back to Tennessee,
