Happy Friday!

One of my most favorite things to do is to collect random vintage floral dishes----& use them every day.


My ma-in-law is coming this weekend from Arizona. That means there'll be lots of shopping & lots of eating out. (Two things I'm NOT complaining about!!) The girls are thrilled & all squealy-like this morning.

With the arrival of guests, comes the frantic duty of cleaning house. Ugh. BUT, my super duper best friend Tia is coming over this afternoon to help with that chore. We discovered a really cool idea at the recent MOPS convention that we returned from last week: bartering. And it works out awesome because her gifts & talents & likes are pretty much the opposite of mine. For example: I will help throw her kid's a birthday party & she'll help me with my meal planning. Or, I'll wrap all her Christmas gifts & she'll clean my toilets. (JOKING!....kind of.) Get it? We've also talked about cooking meals for each other a couple nights a week. So, if I'm having spaghetti for dinner one night, I'll cook up a HUGE batch of it & bring it over to her house to share. She gets a night off of cooking & will do the same for me later in the week!

Here's a preview of the tutorial I'll be doing tomorrow! Happy Weekend my little WhiMSy lovers!

UPDATE: Sorry all my tutorial fans, but the tiara tute will be put on hold until late Sunday. My ma-in-law arrived at the Portland airport (4 hours away) & invited the fam to come over HERE to stay for the weekend. Being the spontaneous chik I am--I decided we should go! I'm busy cleaning & packing & wanted to let you know! See you Sunday!

Pretty random post, but I wanted to say "hello!". Because I can.
