How'd Martha get so smart?

Here's a few cute idea if you signed up to help at your child's class Halloween party.

I'm in charge of the craft.

Children of the Dump

We are excited to announce that

20% of all website orders

from October to December 15th will be going to

FEED THE CHILDREN VALLARTA,

an organization that supports children and families in poverty in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We will be hand delivering our donation along with as many suitcases as we can bring full of school supplies on December 21st. Thanks for all your support!

About this cause:
"Feed the Children Vallarta” and “School of Champions”, previously known as “Children of the Dump” was founded in 1998. Because of increased property values, families and children who have previously been living at and off of the dump are now displaced. This organization is helping these families and many others in Puerto Vallarta with housing, school, meals and child care.

Look what a little paint can do...

Here's my room.
It's so close to finished.
After searching everywhere I settled on this $50 metal outdoor chair.
I am having new cushions made so it feels more indoor-sy but I love it and loved the price!
It's light in color and my kiddies can't ruin it.
If they do, I can re-spray paint it.
I love a good make-over.

Greetings

I have been a hermit the last few weeks.
Held up in my house.
Here's a sneek peak at some of the headbands I'm getting ready for November's Holy Cow.
Have a great day!

It's in the mail right now

I applied for a wholesale account with the company that manufactures Amy Butler's rugs in June or something just so I could afford/justify this rug. I'm finally getting it in October. Isn't it lovely? Can't wait. I needed a new look with my blue walls.

Oh, I also got a new light fixture. I won't go into the details of my crazy 48 hours to get it and install it (thanks mom) in time for a baby shower I was hosting, but its here and up and I love it! It gives off no light at all, but who needs function when you have fashion, right? I'll have to give you a shot of the whole room once the rug is in!

I know, a very self-indulgent week.

Lucy's Turn

Tomorrow is Lucy's turn for surgery.
We will all be praying for this sweet little girl.
Her surgery comes much sooner than expected and might turn into
more than one depending on what the doctors find when they
go into her tiny little heart. We hope and pray for the best.
Feel free to say a little prayer for her if you have a moment in your day.
