Things that make me say Yay!

8.16.2012

Is it Thursday already? I'm so glad.

Do y'all do Groopdealz?  This chevron clutch was on there for $22 yesterday. I love it.  Yay for cute purses.


Get it here.

My sweet friend brought me these yesterday!  Yay!  She makes them and they rock.  I am a happy girl with some cute new hair ties.


And guess what friends? Remember here when I shared that "swings" photo of my son in a contest at Ni Hao Y'all?  I'm not kidding, I WON!  I've never even won a candy bar, much less something that means so much to me.  I am so flattered that Stefanie chose my photo because I am always inspired by her photography.  A great big virtual hug to you Stefanie for making me feel like there might be a shred of talent in this body.  And congrats to her also for making the I Heart Faces top 10 this week. If you want to learn about photography, her blog is a great resource.  Here's my new blog swag...

Ni Hao Yall

I'm reading this book via Christina's recommendation.  


I'm not done yet but I can tell you that this will be one of my all time favorite books.  Amazing story and wonderful writing.  Love love love.  Yay for great books!

Happy Thursday to you.

  2. Congrats to you my friend!! You capture such amazing moments and I am so glad others are seeing that as well! Thanks for sharing her site as well, I am always trying to learn how to be a better photographer. I get the Groopdealz emails as well and they have been featuring some great items. That clutch is very cute! They have also had some great statement necklaces. I haven't broken down and bought anything yet...kicking myself a little for that :) Have a great Thursday!
