A peek in to my weekend...

Sunday Crafternoon w/ friends @ my House




Celebrating @ Time Market - now serving beer & wine!





Me & Lady C - Quality Time

Have you seen this?

I am not one to promote something so commercial (I don't even know that much about the Amazon Kindle to tell you the truth), but I saw this ad on TV the other night and thought it was super cute. I love all of the stop motion work out there these days. So fun!

So Sad...

@Home Vintage General is closing - read more here.
Liz inspired my first post ever & I look forward to following her on her future adventures.

Today

How I am feeling...and it is only Monday morning. Sigh.

Gift Idea - Grandparents

In case you all are looking for a personalized gift idea - here is one we give every year. I think Grandparents are the toughest to shop for...they don't want anything & honestly, they don't need much. What they seem to love are photos - ones they can show off to their friends & use to brag about their grandkids. So, every year we give little photo albums to each set of grandparents. They love them! I try to give them a sort of "year in review" to see all we have been up to over the past year. I print the photos from our computer at home & just glue them into an album myself. In all the years of doing these, my favorite photo album is from Kolo - in particular this style as it is small, lightweight, reasonably priced. I buy these in bulk and keep them around the house for other projects - going away gifts, birthday albums, etc. So, hope you find some inspiration here & happy gifting!

Getaway

I know we have blogged about Dunton Hot Springs before here as a "summer retreat," but I loved seeing that A Cup of Jo thinks it would make for a great winter vacation spot as well (which it is!). Again, it is mere minutes from Telluride - come visit! I have been - it is amazing. Just saying.
