sunday is my day of rest!

no diy projects, design work, or laundry, just quality family time and r&r.

i still consider gawking at beautiful interiors to be rest, don’t you?

this stunning interior designed by pappas miron calms my soul!

yesterday i heard about this program, adopt-a-blogger, while browsing on out of the notebook and into the blog blog.

the program originally started by connecting a new food blogger with an experienced food blogger. They recently expanded the program to ALL bloggers!

wouldn’t it be nice to have a mentor in the blogging world, someone that can answer your million questions?

if you are a new blogger (blogging for less than a year) you can sign up here to be adopted. If you are a veteran (blogging for more than a year) go here to read all about it (or maybe even adopt me!).

i signed up to be adopted! now i am just waiting for the perfect veteran to come along. maybe it is you? pretty please.

i think this is so exciting, i can’t wait!

i just might be a little excited for christmas.

i do this every year.

i set up my tree yesterday, lights only.

do you think it is a little early?

i plan on having a homemade christmas this year, decorations and all.

tomorrow night we are going to start making tree ornaments!

i think we will slowly decorate the tree this year, one homemade decoration at a time.

maybe it’s a good thing we are starting so early!

thank goodness for martha stewart and all her great tutorials!

when do you start decorating for christmas?

btw- i’ll post part 2 of my diy bedskirt as soon as i figure out how to properly thread my bobbin. i have done it SO many times before but i guess today was not my day….

i didn’t think i could still love the color yellow after spending a LONG day potty training.

everything about this room speaks perfection.
