I was so thrilled to be a part of

Make Mine Pink's Secret Sister Event

I'm excited to announce, I received my Secret Sister Package!! I speak with a happiness in my heart and actual tears in my eyes. My Secret Sister is so amazing, I will never be able to express my absolute delight and excitement I feel! I've been talking for months to my hubby about changing the decor of our home, but hadn't found the inspiration to begin. Thanks to my Secret Sister, and her beautiful gifts, I have a plan implemented.

Carol from "Clutterbug Studio" is my Secret Sister, she created these gorgeous gifts. She is truly a talented artist! Everything she created screams "ME"... I would like to "feature" each beautiful item... I'm such a lucky Lady!!!!

Let me show you how beautiful these gifts were wrapped! With my favorite Robin's Egg Blue Ribbon~ I squealed as I unwrapped each, here they are!

I opened the first box inside there was an organza pouch filled with push pins for the vision board, one even had my initial on it! Plus a Robin's Egg Blue & White votive candle!

A Beautiful French Journal!

The most beautiful embellished bottle with Robin's Egg Blue Glitter inside! With a yummy heart plaque decorated with sweet flowers, glitter and pearl buttons!

An amazing Wall Hook, made from recycled wood work, with a splash of my favorite blue on a distressed hook.. And there's even a beautiful ivory rope to hang it from!

If you believe it couldn't get any better... I would like to show you the most amazing Vision Board, I've ever had the pleasure of seeing... And I own it!!!! The detail is truly a work of art! The vintage frame is so ornate, my Secret Sister added vintage Bark Cloth, sweet blue satin ribbon, a vintage "Best Wishes" greeting card and a push pin with my initial on it!! And if that wasn't enough, she finished it with a beautiful tasseled rope to hang it....You will gasp when you see it!!!

Now you can vision what my home will look like! Thanks to my Awesome Secret Sister! Each gift would bring me a ton of "Ooh's and Ahh's" if I were to discover them in a shop.

The Greeting Card reads~ "The best of wishes are sent to say~ May happiness be yours in every way... Your wishes came true Sweet Secret Sister of mine.. I have such happiness over flowing in every way!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart "Carol" from "ClutterBug Studio"

Show and Tell Monday

Make Mine Pink

Since returning from my buying trip a few weeks ago, I've had a ton of projects that prevented me from posting about my super

duper trip! I'm so excited to show everyone my newest treasures!

My sweet hubby and I had the most wonderful time on this trip, he kept me going when I would complain of my sore tootsies, and achy bones...

His favorite line was.."Suck it up little girl, and keep shopping!"

I have to give him credit, he walked miles, toted humongous pieces of

furniture, haggled with prices, all the while donning a smile on his face.

After all, it wasn't just a buying trip, it was my "Birthday weekend". He treated like a princess, breakfast in bed every morning, then he would spend that time going over the itinerary with me for my goal that day.

It was such a divine trip, I wanted to share with you some of the goodies

my poor hubby had to tote! lol... never once complaining~ They're listed

in my boutique, (under the "Comforts of Home" category)

~Please stop over and take a peek~
