Soiree Day-All Things Santa Claus

Today is all about Santa Claus!! 

♦

First up this adorable Letter to Santa Party by Uncommon.

I love this idea!! And great that they got to do this outside!

Can you believe the chair covers came from the Dollar Tree?!  They simply added marabou fur..how fun!

They also have a free Letter to Santa printable!!

And speaking of the Santa letter, I found this Santa letterhead that I think is pretty cool to respond with or have your Elf on the Shelf bring back one night.

You know I believe the spirit of Santa Claus is alive and well. 

And I think it's our job as adults to make sure it stays that way.  Know what I mean?

Happy Soiree Day!

Project Pink

Today is a special post.  I'm joining Marilyn of The Artsy Girl Connection for Project Pink.  Friday I paid a special pink tribute to one of my grandmothers who had breast cancer and beat it.
{Find the link to it below.}
Today I'd like to honor my mother in law, who has also beat breast cancer.  She's a strong woman!  If she lived closer I'd like to start a little soiree tradition that'd be a smaller version of one of these:

A tradition that I can do and am going to start {yes I should have done it already!} is to send her a card in the mail.  I love getting cards in the mail! And even though it's a simple gesture I know it'll touch her heart.  I'm going to start with this pretty awesome printable...

....it's at Vale Design and is free to download!

Have you posted about breast cancer lately? Have you crafted, baked, cooked, photographed, painted your finger nails, bought some pink goodies or wrote a special 'pink' post recently?  Then link up with us!!

Darling Day-Fashion Finds!

Very low entries for the 150 'Fall'ower Giveaway!! Are you going to do some baking this fall?
Check it out HERE!!

I'm going out on a small limb here and showing you some of my favorite 'fashion' pins recently.  I say going out on a small limb because I've been thinking of adding some fashion content to my blog.  Not sure yet exactly what but I like fashion....I do have a degree in apparel merchandising!  But I"m going to be honest...I'm hiding behind the computer.  Yep I am. Ashley's writing has got me thinking about a lot of stuff and some good blog advice is to just be yourself.  Well the real me likes fashion.

So I'm not sure, but I'm doing a lot of thinking.....

Would fashion content even fit?

Hhhmmm....

Lori and Kori are some inspirations!  And I was invited to Kori's Fashion Friday so here goes!!!
