Sunday Social

Sunday Social
Linking up with Neely for Sunday Social!  I'm a little late...but I've been sick with horrible allergies and now I can't sleep...so here goes.

1. Favorite thing to do on a rainy day? Read and watch Lifetime movies!
2. Favorite thing to do on a Summer weekend? Do some type of outdoor activity, eat on the patio at a restaurant...especially by the lake!, yard work, take Ally to the dog park.
3. Favorite Spring accessory? Sandals!
4. Favorite way to spend a Winter day? Sit by the fire place with a cinnamon candle going and read magazines or bake!
5. What is your favorite season and why? Spring AND Fall...I don't want to choose!  I love them both because it isn't too hot or too cold.  Fall...I love the smell of fall, the crisp air, the changing of the leaves, and pumpkin candles.  Spring....I love the freshness of everything and daylight savings!
6. Best birthday you ever had? I don't really have a specific year...I have many memories.  Every year growing up, I always had a pool party at our local community pool.  We would cook out, and my Mom would always make her famous brownie "sheet" cake and also order a personalized cake.  We would have ice cream and I remember her always going to several grocery stores to get the gallons of fruit punch.  All of my cousins and friends would come.  When we would get home, we'd always put my all of my presents on the kitchen table and take pictures!  Such good memories!!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn

A Batman Wedding and a $9 Wedding Dress

I was on this blog today and she was talking about how women spend so much money on wedding dresses.  It reminded me of my wedding and then I realized I've never blogged about it!!!  It's already been a year and half and I still haven't even scrapbooked it!!!  Where does the time go? Ok...to the dress.  I knew exactly what I wanted.  I wanted it to be short, satin, and a "pick-up" style dress.  I looked around at David's Bridal and other stores but I just couldn't see spending more than $100 on my dress.  (I've been married before and had the big, fancy wedding - and we see how well that worked out!!)  So this time, I wanted a small wedding and didn't want to spend much.  I walked into Ross one day looking for something else and decided to walk through the dresses to look for a dress for my sis, the MOH.  It was like the clouds opened up and the angels were singing and the sun beamed down on this dress.  You can't really tell from this pic,
