To Freeze or Not to Freeze

As mentioned before, I'm in Atlanta. It's cold here. I didn't bring a coat. Or a scarf. Or gloves. It was in the 50s when I left Raleigh this weekend. Good old Jack Frost has come to visit and caught me off guard.

I really thought about packing a coat, but I couldn't fit anything else in my luggage. I mean, a girl has to have at least three outfits for each day on the road. One dressy outfit, one middle-of-the-road kinda dressy outfit for those mornings you wake up and don't feel like dressing up but you still have to look like you made the effort, and the evening outfit (jeans, cool shirt, etc.). There was no room for a coat.

So here's my dilemma. Do I suffer through the rest of the day and tomorrow in the freezing cold, or is it a great excuse to catch a cab to the nearest mall and buy a coat? You tell me.

Oh, and I've got a Macy's coupon for 11% off one item. I could pick this cute little coat up for $129.00, regular price is $220.00...hummmm.....

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
