Twosday Favs 23

The *official* Twosday Favs Button!!
I made this button a while back and just now decided that it would be kinda smart to put it up...I might change it though- still thinking about it!

Favorite11111111.......
My new Scrabble necklaces! They are
SO much fun to make. Here's pretty much
all you need to make them, except the
pretty paper.

I got the bails from Micheals Craft Shop. Real easy to find, and although they are a little big, they are handy and cheaper than buying online sometimes. There are 3 for 3 dollars- sometimes on http://www.etsy.com/ they sell 1 bail for like 12 dollars. I'm not gonna pay that much when I can get 1 for a dollar and not even pay for shipping. :)

This pic. His paw is in the air and his tongue is out. AWWWWW!!!! I am definitely an official cat-lover!

What's up with me July 26th * Blogger of the Month * SURPRISE for you!!!

So to start off my update, I'll show you what I did Sunday Morning:
Ok.... I traced it. :) But it was still fun!

My hollyhocks are blooming!

I tend to them and weed them (sometimes) and water them (a little bit).... :)

The sprinkler was on and was spraying my Tree...and fred

The leaves shimmered with water droplets! It was gorgeous.


Then I happened upon our chest of dress-up on the back porch. They are used for movies made with my friends and plays put on the stage, but they used to be worn out for playing! Me and my sisters would spend hours in these. These are all gunnysax dresses- I love them! They are the best dresses. I didn't realize it until later, but they are hanging up, L to R: Longest to Shortest. :)

And now,
I am pleased to announce the Blogger of the Month!

1. She's sweet
2. She is poetic
3. She is a wonderful photographer

Now, Ladies, I have surprise for you!!!
Raquel and I have been planning this for quite some time now...

So, get ready to participate in our new challenge
In Another Day
Now, here's what this challenge is all about!
The week of July 31st-August 6th is when all participants will start.
During the week, participants will write from a different perspective. That's the most important part of the challenge to understand. So during the week, you'll write like you're a different person! You could pretend like you are a princess stuck in a tower, or a famous singer on tour in Paris, you could be a girl from the 1940's writing in her diary- whatever you want! Your blog has just turned into a creative outlet!

Rules and Regulations:
1. Keep it clean! If your posts have bad words or the like in them, they won't be entered into the contest.
2. Participants have to post at least 3 times during the week challenge to be entered in the giveaway for prizes.
3. Participants will link up their post at Raquel's blog.

Now here are your goodies!

Beth's Polymer Pens is sponsoring one of our prizes! Here are some of her pens:

Aren't they cute! You will be receiving a pen- I don't have a picture of it because it's still in the process of being made. Be sure to give a big thank you to Beth if you drop by her store!

The next prize is from Sweet Little Things 4 U! You will get a scrabble pendant of your choice!
Here is my favorite pendant:

Here are some more of her necklaces.

Be sure to check out her store!

There will be another, more formal post about this closer to the beginning of the challenge.
Have a great day and please excuse the largest post I think I've EVER done!

Twosday Favs 20

Yay! We're to the twentieth Twosday Favs, how exciting.

Favorito Uno.....
My prize from Ashley's 21st Birthday Giveaway!
I loved it, it's 100% amazing! And it wasn't just some boring package-
included when it came was a handwritten note congratulating me for winning, two candies in a vintage little envelope, and a greeting card. The Five Dollar French Market on etsy is so cool. :)

Favorito Dos.....

This Flip SlideHD Video Camera is so awesome. Not exactly the cheapest camcorder around but you're paying for 4 hours recording time and good quality. I know some friends who have Flip's and they're really durable... even with a broken lens (literally, there are cracks all over the lens) it still works beautifully! You can't even see that the lens are broken on any recorded video!

I'm sorry but I have to share this too....

I love scrabble pendants and this one makes me feel two points cooler lol :).

Buy it here on etsy!

Comment Moderation

I'm sorry to say that I have had to enable comment moderation because I got some wierd ones that weren't exactly up to our standards or very pure. In the Bible it says to think of pure and noble things.
Turning to a lighter subject, I found some really cute vintage ads and pictures.
I absolutely adore this coat with the two rows of buttons!


Old Coca-Cola ads are the best!


Don't you love this? I love that vintage housewives wore their hair up!

So I'm not crazy about the actual sweater but the whole vintage look is so sweet.


Vintage jewelry ad! Can it get any better?

Favorite Book

Well my favorite books have been on my mind.. and so has my blog... so I am combining the two!!! It's kind of a slow day today. Alllllllll the looooooooong 24 hours of it. How many seconds is that? Just a second. haha second. Ok i'm officially tired. and kooky right now. Be right back. If my calculations are correct, there are 86,400 seconds in each day. there are more than a thousand minutes!!!
Anyway.....
my favorite books!
this is what I spend my time doing.
click here
and here
also here
and lastly here
ok so yes I love Nancy Drew books :) Mysterious!!! Lately though I've been realizing how... uh... kooky they are. I mean really, who foils an evil group of four men single-handedly (ok not single, the strong and handsome Ned Nickerson saved the day!!!) finds a former queen and her lost Prince grandson, finds a secret clue in a jewel box shaped like a footman (queen's servant) and walks in a fashion show?!?!?! long sentence but hey... I already admitted I am very tired and not very.... writer-istic right now. And my spleling is hrrioble. haha.
Ok so I better be going... look for my first tutorial coming soon!
Your tired writer,
Mary
