thanksgiving is behind us, next up: christmas!
it really is my favorite time of the year for so many reasons....
in the weeks following, i'll be focusing on holiday decor, gift ideas and maybe a few diy projects.
how about you? what have you got planned?

this past week has been pretty fruitful, in more ways than one.
rhiannon posted words of worth and encouragement that came at the most perfect moment for me....

new in "the shoppe"...........

a little girl's first birthday printiable photo invite!
i gotta tell ya, since working on the christimas cards, i've really fallen in love with photo cards! quite unexpected but you can expect to see a whole lot more :-)

i thought that this was a really sweet gift idea (pun intended!)

and this cool weather styled shoot is awesome - so cozy!

i have a feeling that this pinterest board will play a prominent role in my holiday decorating this year

share with me - have you come across anything interesting/fun/exciting/beautiful this week?

what's happenin'.....

here's my round-up of lovely/helpful/funny/touching items found on this world wide web this week:

do you have a favorite fall go-to recipe? this one is awesome. and perfect if you need something for an oktoberfest potluck!

i've mentioned maggie's 31 days series before but this post really hit home. if we can't present our businesses professionally, how can we expect others to take us seriously??

how i loved this post and this post. these women truly have a heart for God. seriously, i can't even begin to tell you how they've touched my heart - and not for the first time!

remember the app i mentioned a few weeks ago? sadly, i've had to uninstall it because my computer was draaaaaging....but here's one that hasn't let me down yet. SUPER easy keeping up with my favorite blogs :-)

have you found any links to love this past week? want us to share some love on your link? leave a comment!

what's happenin'

haven't had a whole lotta time on the 'webs this past week......been busy with these:

christmas cards!! my favorite design (so far) with more to come :-)

i saw this super-easy DIY growth chart. love.

and i'm really thinking that this mint-chocolate lip gloss may be part of the christmas gift baskets this year....

really proud of what hubby's been up to lately....

i have fallen in love with this dress but can't find it anywhere.....

considering a membership here....thoughts?

so how 'bout you. find anything good lately?

what's happenin'

 this great big 'ol interweb is full of wonderful stuff, isn't it? but who can keep track of it all?
i thought it might be fun to share some of my favorite links i've found over the past week, catch you up on what i've been doin.....
and maybe you could share some of yours? pretty please?

maggie ALWAYS has the most helpful posts for indie business owners. i'm especially loving this series.

i've been searching for new crockpot recipes. i tried this one (yum) and this one (another yum!). my people loved them both so they get added to the permanent file!

i really, really, really wanna try my hand at these beauties.

i've pinned this more than once (yes, i'm guilty of double - and sometimes even triple - pinning!!!) but never did anything about it until i saw this post. one week into it, i'm feeling less stress and my house and people are thanking me!

and here's my app of the week - SUPER easy to include my iphone pics in blog posts now!!

guess what's new in the shoppe??

personalized note cards! they make me smile :)

happy weekend, y'all!
