Posh.......

When looking back on what I get complemented on wearing the most, there is one thing in common; it came from here...............

Posh Panoply was one of my beloved neighbors when I was in the Crepe Myrtle Shopping Center a few years ago. I miss them terribly, and I am sure they do me, because there was only few times I went in there without walking out with a Zebra Print shopping bag!

Although probably one of the most talked about items in their shop is the large selection of accessories, but  to me, their clothing selections are one of the best in Dothan. 

If ever I have an event I need to get something for, I can trust that Posh Panoply with have just what I need!

They also have a clean crisp sophisticated feel to their store. And if you are wondering; yes, I did walk out with a Zebra Print bag after taking these pics with a super cute dress in it for $37.50!


I love to shop at Posh Panoply and if you have never been, please stop on by to see them.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY COUPON!!!

Here's a good one! 

Can not be combined with Coupon Monday's Coupon! 

NOTE: STORE HOURS MONDAY, MAY 30TH 10-3!!

Stay tuned.......

I've got another Give-Away coming up!! 

Does it even matter....

I love blogging. In fact, I never saw myself as a writer at all until I started blogging. But the more I blog, the more I love it!

I get on these "blog freezes" though, and sometimes it is difficult to get through.

This month has been so super crazy, that even over the last few days I have had Emily's homeroom mom email out things to bring to the End of Year party tomorrow and they are SUPER easy things to sign up for and bring, but I have a little fear in signing up for something after this if you might recall??

All to say, is that I am even slacking on my blogging and then I think, does it even matter?? Even if I blogged every day, no one would probably even read it because they are as busy as you are this time of year!!





So I decided to unload my camera of a few things that have been hanging out on my camera card and just made it to my desk top, based on the simple fact that I am barely at point A before leaving to point B only to end up at point C and simply have had no time for said camera to unload in the process......



Enjoy.....

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

50% Off Coupon!!!

Enjoy! 

As I promised.....

Sort of. I promised a picture LAST weekend. But, life happened. In fact, life has happened a LOT lately. So much life, that last week, I actually forgot to take someone a meal I had signed up for. A meal I signed up TWO weeks prior. A meal that I coordinated ALL the meals for for this person. A meal I had already gone grocery shopping the day before for. A meal I received an email reminder for. A meal I talked about earlier that day with a customer and my employee. A meal that left my mind around 1pm and didn't return until 9:45pm. I have never done that. The couple was very gracious to me. I was not.


Last week, I think that if my head was not permanently attached to my body I would have lost it, but as I showed you above, my mind on the other hand, no such luck.

I was so hoping that this week would be better, but Monday had already started with missing a make up piano lesson and ending with about a gazillion errors in my softball game.

So here is Tuesday with high hopes again for turning this week around and I was phoned at 6:30am with the police at my shop telling me I had damage to my door knob for what attempted to be a brake in. THANKFULLY, it was not our shop and that everything was fine in the other location.

Honestly, I was rather calm when they called, but I was tempted to yell "TO HELL WITH IT ALL!". Isn't that awful to say. I am tempted to backspace this whole paragraph and delete it, but then I just might give you the impression that I ALWAYS think that life is good, or I ALWAYS respond with God you are faithful, or I ALWAYS respond with there must be a good reason I am going through this.

I trust that all the statements above ARE true, but on a realistic point, I am a sinner and sin often and am thankful I do have a Faithful Father that will not just get me through, but has intentions for my good and His glory with it.


So because my mind has had the forecast of cloudy with a chance of insanity, here's hoping for a clear, peaceful rest of the week.....


I leave you with these few details of Miss Emily's room......

Red fabric came from Hancock's. Print came from Fabrics.com. I used less fabric in Emily's room then Jillian's so I justified spending a little more since I LOVED it so much! I still have Pillows to make across the back. I decided to do baskets instead of a bedskirt: A) because I was tired of sewing and B) because we have limited storage in our old home so this was a good option. And C) I think it looks good.

The cork board sheets came from Wal-Mart and I topped them with ribbon from Hobby Lobby. I have intentions of slip covering the desk chair as well....One day.

The unfilled picture frames are from Home Goods, the letter E was from Highland's Antique' Mall, Chest was from a yard sale.

 Artwork by our very own talented Leah and plates were some I had that I had stored away. I think I got them a TJ Maxx. Lamp I think was a Martha Stewart K-mart purchase from our early married years and lamp shade was just picked up recently from Ikea.

Book Shelf is not the greatest and was originally purchased at Ikea for a shop display but made it's home in here for now. Bins I think were from Lowes. They were pink before and sprayed them Red. Bird prints were from a Hospital Gift shop in Mobile, when visiting family on the arrival of my new niece. This only proved to Tim that I can shop anywhere.

I still have a rug to purchase and of course there will be this and that to do as she grows.


That's all for now folks! Happy Tuesday!

Whew! Coupon Monday.....

We have had a FULL weekend! As I type I am cramming down an egg sandwich. I just sent off the fam to the ball fields for Emily's game and thought I would type up a quick post before heading out to my ballgame.


It is that time of year again! I need to move some spring/summer inventory to start making room for Fall 2011! Yep, you heard correctly, Fall will be rolling in soon....so to help you out (and me!) here is Coupon Monday!

Enjoy! 

And to give you an idea of how busy our weekend was, I will leave you with this....

on the way home......

How much it cost ONE WAY!

This afternoon after school........

Details later! 

the life as we know it......

travel with me in "the life as we know it", caught on camera by my handy dandy phone....

I was at the ball fields browsing camera pics and thought I would share. A friend shared hers awhile back and I really thought it funny because the phone catches the everyday; more so than when we carry our camera around our neck for the "special" events. To me these events are quite special..... 

our every day....enjoy :)

my favorite food is sushi..... this is at Kyoto..

I didn't even know this picture existed until I looked through my phone. Apparently, Jillian wanted to show me that putting on make up in the car is dangerous.....

This was taken on a Saturday morning, when Elizabeth always show us ways she can be industrial. Like, trying to set this basket of pine straw and crinkle paper on fire......

Using a pet hair clean up brush......

Our visit to the fair....

I love to take pictures of things I would like to re-create one day. My sister-in-law's brother built this out door room onto their Aunt's home.......

I love it! 

Miss Emily's face drying for her Tin Man costume on our picnic table bench outside......

Me capturing my frustration when boxes are delivered to me like this..........

A visit with my precious niece Camille.......smile....

No, not Mother's, Birth, or Valentine's Day. Just a happy from my girls.......smile again..... I love Reese's, white roses, Burt's Bee's products and nail polish. That was in the basket bought with their own money :)

The only picture taken of Tim's adventure in the hospital with his collapsed lung..... not sure if he even knew I took this picture...

Lizzy can fall asleep any where, any time....

and I love to snap a shot when she does....

 

Touring Christmas light....and in this case, lamp in the front window {Christmas Story}.........

asleep again......

told you I liked sushi.....this is at Mikata...

Leah working on art for Emily's room............

my trip to Ikea....

I took several of these pictures. My husband is an Electrical Engineer and he was out of town when a prong broke on my steamer plug. He walked me through re-wiring another plug by me taking pictures and sending them to him of my step by step work.... you truly learn something new every day! 

A sofa I wanted to buy.... but didn't....

Emily had a project on nailing a pattern design on a tin can. Tim thought it to be productive, in a timely accurate manner, to bring out his nail gun.....Safety attire was worn, no worries...

I have always wanted a cowboy hat....this was sent to Tim for approval.... and I still didn't get it...it wasn't the price, just not sure...should I???

the coffee table I thought about buying.......

The coffee table I bought......

The other day I burnt my hair off..... don't ask.... and yes I have pink tile (AND turquoise) in my bathroom...still....

asleep again....

a chair I want to recover...(slip cover)...message me if you want to throw me a price, I have two of them! 

a rug I am thinking about....pattern to big???? 

Candy sticks from Cracker Barrel...

Asleep again..... this one really cracks me up......

Sending matching sister pictures to out of town customers...

Tim likes eggplant....trying to be creative with it....it was yummy, even our kiddos liked it!

asleep again......

one of the reasons why I appreciate my husband and employees...they can look at a junkie scribbled sketch of what I have in my head......

and do this......






Jillian just won the Artist of the month at Red Elephant.... she had to draw and color an elephant going somewhere...she chose the beach and drew in pen...go Jillian!

a picture of when I felt something warm hit my foot and looked down and realized that my youngest daughter, and I won't name names, missed the WHOLE ground around her when spitting out her sunflower seed shells ....oh, the joys of motherhood....

Well, I think I will just leave you with the image of the nastiness because I've gotta run! Might venture to phone pics more often. What do you think??

Happy Thursday y'all!
