Sand in your Toes.

did you miss me?  I was so busy with the Blog Frog pre-launch yesterday.  I hope you’ve joined my community.  I’m giving away a $25 Target card. Enter to win by joining.  We’re going to carry on discussions from my daily features.  And not to miss an opportunity to milk some sympathy….I’ve been sick.  A chest cold has taken over my body.  It won.  I even had to teach Step, Lift and Water today.  But if you join my Blog Frog community, I’ll feel SO much better.  I secretly want to beat Laurie over at Tip Junkie. She’s such a show off.

You know how when you’re sick you want comfort?  Warmth?  Well that’s exactly what you’ll get from my feature today. 

Shell in my Pocket

Sandy Toes…..she’s been such a great follower and commenter to Today’s Creative Blog.  She makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.  So does her home.

I wish I could take a bath RIGHT NOW under this candleleir .  Great way to add style to any room. Or sit in one of these porch chairs with a hot cup of tea……Beautiful.She’s a busy mom who home schools. I love this work area.

Do you think she does her crafty thing while the kids are studying?  She made these silhouettes and shows you how she did it.  That frame is to die for. And she’s thrifty!  I love thrifty.  Who hasn’t seen a few of these around Good Will lately?  Don’t just walk on by…….grab it.Because you can spray paint it!    She is so smart……..that’s probably why she can home school.  How many of you lose track of when your library books are due?  I have to admit I even hate checking them out, because I can never keep track of that darn slip of paper that tells me when to bring it back.  She has the perfect solution.  She made this darling chalkboard and placed it on the basket that holds the library books.  What a concept…..Love it. Here’s just one angle of her laundry room. There are more shots on her blog.  So cute!  It’s energetic….to keep you motivated.  Because if you ask me.  There are way too many steps to laundry.  It’s almost impossible to NOT mess up somewhere. Place in hamper, sort, wash, dry, fold, put away…….it’s never ending. Occasionally she’ll decide something needs a little work.  Like this lamp shade……from boring to….. Original!  She used a placemat.  You can’t let your toile go to waste.  You’ll enjoy her warm heart and simple needs.  She’s a nice writer that makes you feel like you’ve known her forever.  She’ll be tickled pink if you head over and leave her a great comment!  I’ll be tickled even pinker.

Now I know it’s no where near Halloween, but I couldn’t pass up these darling pumpkins.  I must admit I have my mind on a bit of holiday decorating….the Holiday with Matthew Mead kind of decorating. I am still in shock I was asked to be a contributor and part of their blogging panel!  They are announcing their panel over at his blog…..hurry…don’t be late…..they are even giving away some fabulous gifts.  Like this tiered garden stand…..I want that. Head over and see what they’re up to.   Tell them you’re from TCB.  :)
