My Southern Accent

So, Make Mine a Mojito's most recent post reminded me that while in Los Angeles last month, several of my co-workers said every time they hear this commercial, they think of me. I only deal with a lot of them on the phone, so they get to hear me quite often. I hadn't yet seen it, but I have now.

Personally, I don't think my accent is this bad - I mean, I don't sound like Britany or anything...I don't think...do I????

Now y'all know where I got my blog name from. I wasn't kidding. And I'm getting a Flip camera for Christmas, so maybe I'll really let y'all hear what I sound like in 2010 so you can get a chuckle.

    Wendy, this has been my favorite for a LONG time. It really cracks me up!
    I don't think we sound quite like this but almost.

    Haha - this commercial always makes me laugh!

    I didn't think my accent was that bad compared to some I know. Then I heard myself talking on a recording I made at Thanksgiving. I'm definitely southern. My mom says it's gotten more pronounced since I moved to Tennessee.

    Whatever...they're just jealous that they don't have a southern drawl. :)

    I guess that not too many Southerners make their way to the West coast. I have family in Oregon and when I was visiting the last time, every one I ran into was just so fascinated with my Southern accent. LOL

    I've always loved your accent! I wish my southern accent was more like yours. Mine is just twangy!

    I live in Cali right now, but we are southern born and bred. People say that commercial reminds them of me all the time. I tell them that they are not funny!

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.
