Or so she says…

I love good bedding. Have you noticed?? If I’m not giving away sheets, pillows, and mattress covers several times a year (from the awesome Malouf Fine Linens), you would know that something is wrong. Terribly wrong. Like, call the hospital and see if I’m okay.

So, staying true to my love-of-nice-bedding-being-featured-on-the-blog, today I’m excited to announce that Linenspa (who, by the way, offers killer deals on Malouf products), will be giving away one of their newest, top-of-the-line products… can you guess what it is? Yes, a mattress (your choice of size!) What?!? And, not just ANY mattress… their most fancy-shcmancy, cushy-tushy, support-you-like-a-true-friend mattress.

If you’re a crafter (and even if you’re not) I’m sure you’ve heard of Silhouette cutting machines … they’re amazing!! I was lucky enough to have the chance to try out a Silhouette Cameo .. and let me just say ‘WOW!’ My mind was blown by all the capabilities of this little machine. It plugs into your PC or Mac® just like a home printer, but instead of printing it uses a small blade to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric and more up to 12″ wide and 10 feet long. And to top it off, it can even register and cut printed materials. The possibilities are literally limitless.

My mind was a little blown, and I wasn’t exactly sure where to start. So, I went to Pinterest and started exploring. Silhouette has a Pinterest page, but that’s only the beginning. There are so many cute projects out there that I’m excited to try.

I’ve actually really enjoyed opening up my Sassy Steals email each day to see the crazy, fun and unique things that are offered. There’s stuff for me, my kids and my home … all in one place!

Who loves Pick Your Plum?!? Um, me. There’s a new deal every single day, and it’s always something super fun.

Christmas will be here before we know it … sounds crazy, I know, when the weather is hot and we’re all thinking more about sunscreen than Santa. However, I’m a big believer in snatching up Christmas gifts as I come across them, regardless of the time of year. I have a gift box I keep in my closet, and I keep a running list of gift ideas for family and friends. I find that makes the Christmas season much less stressful.

Well, I just added this beautiful cookbook from The Gathering of Friends to the top of my gift list! It will make a perfect gift for my mother-in-law and some of the classy ladies in my life who love to entertain. Not only is the cookbook packed full of doable, yet classy recipes and simple centerpiece and tablescape ideas, it also comes complete with a shopping list of everything you’d need to replicate the meals yourself.
