Ready.  Aim.  Fire

It's Christmas time and it's time for giving.  I told you in this post I was planning a giveaway and here it is!  I'm teaming up with the talented Erin from Charles Emerson Designs and giving you something shiny! 

I love a big fun statement piece of jewelry when I have the time to focus on getting myself dressed in the morning.  However, I usually find a favorite piece that goes with everything and wear it day in and day out.  I'm giving you that perfect piece:  The Mabel

How cute is that?  Don't fret, if you aren't the winner you can still purchase it for $18!  Stella & Dot has one very similar for $49! 

Some other things you will see at Charles Emerson Designs,  The Lindsay that she can't even keep in stock!  It comes in three colors and is only...$38!!

I had to share The Ivy.  I KNOW you have seen similar ones at J Crew and a few other stores.  Not one of them had it for $28!!  Also available in 3 colors. 

To enter the giveaway leave a comment for each of the following (that's 3 chances per person!!):

• Head over to Charles Emerson Designs come back and tell me which piece (or pieces!!) you hope Santa brings you.  There are rings, bracelets, & earrings as well!
• "Like" Charles Emerson Designs on Facebook

I'm baaaaccckkkk

Wow! Jan 24th was a long time ago...that was my last blog post. I guess having an infant not to mention a 2 and 4 year old will do that to you! Now I have a big girl pulling up (TODAY!!) and an almost 3 and 5 year old! Yikes.

We've had a busy summer with lots of travel with some not so high points. I've been enjoying my favorite blogs and a little envious that others seem to be able to manage their time better and have a family, complete projects AND blog! But my time will come and I'm just going to do what I can when I can!

However, I have learned something from one of my favorite bloggers, Erin, at Richmond Thrifter. I love her projects, but I also love that she doesn't do that much detail. All I need is a few minutes to read and look at the pretty pictures! There are so many tutorials out there, not every post needs to be long winded. I guess I just felt this way because every blog I read seems to be that way! So, I'm going to try to take a lesson from her. Complete some fun and pretty projects and you can figure out how on your own..or comment or email me!

So here is my welcome back project. I'm so giddy I could just sit and stroke my new high chair!

Here's the before (sanded):

Sneek peek:

One little tweak and I'll post the final picture tomorrow!
