Aaron Rodgers

He rocks my socks.

=D

Hope everyone enjoyed the Super Bowl as much as I did!



Ruff Hewn

My obsession with Ruff Hewn started when I saw their awesome Fall decor line.



My pumpkin is white/cream. I like to put candies in this dish, or put a big chunk of floral foam in it and press in some flowers.

It makes an awesome display.

Then I saw these great leaf plates.

I had to have them.

Awesomely creamy white.

(sigh...)

Of course, I had to have chargers to go underneath those awesome plates.

Actually, you can see that I frequently use them in outdoor dining, as well.

Though, since I've since relocated these chargers indoors, I'm thinking about replacing my outdoor ones with these:

They are pretty inexpensive, and square, just like the outdoor dining table.

....but I'm getting off track, because these chargers are KN, not Ruff Hewn.

;)

Then my obsession started morphing.

I found this auto emergency kit.

Hey, a girl's got to be safe, right?

Then, I saw that they make some of the most comfortable clothes!

Mine is a beige/light brown color.

Actually, I have a great pair of sneaker, too. It's not listed on the website, and I know it's discontinued.

My latest find:

This awesome baking dish.

Now, I have a glass 13x9 dish...but it's nothing in comparison to this one!

And my special four-cheese lasagna looks amazing in it!

Now, I'm definitely not telling you to go out and buy all this stuff! I found most of this stuff at the end of the seasons, so I scored them on Yellow Dot.

I just know that a lot of my followers' hearts skip a beat when they see cottage/country-style.

Plus, I wanted to show you my obsession.

=D

Well....that.....and Fossil jewelry....but I won't even get started on that!

***Though Younkers does pay me (you know...since I work there...), my opinions are solely my own. They do not pay me to advertise or say nice things. Trust me...I would let you know if I think a brand sucks. (cough) Bella Cucina (cough). ***

Green and Gold

Is it sad, that when I'm chopping peppers for supper, I think,

"Hey, those are Packer colors!"

You see, my love for the Pack runs deep.

I remember my dad eating hot peppers each time the Pack scored a touchdown (though I'm not exactly sure why).

I received my amazing "scream at the TV" skills from my ma.

...using green and yellow food dye to draw Packer related pictures in the snow-banks.

I love my Pack.

I do.

When they defeated the Bears for the NFC Championship, my family went crazy.

We teach them young.

;)

I am beyond excited for this year's Super Bowl.

The last time the Packers won a Superbowl was 1997.

I was only 10 years old....

Though I remember it, at 10, you don't really "get" football.

Even if they don't win, I'm just glad they got there, ya know?

Kitchen Color

I think it's about time to take that kitchen color poll off of my header, hey?

The Winner:

Lemon Verbena

Though it will be a bit before I paint the kitchen, it's nice knowing that the color is already picked out!

Thank you so much for your help in picking out a color.

You're opinion is so important to me!

I have a different kitchen painting project that I need to finish. I started it a while back and never got around to finishing it...but I'm hosting a Partylite party at the end of February, so my  house needs to be somewhat finished!

I'll definitely let you know when I start/complete the kitchen painting!

Celebrity Resemblances

During my last email chat with Roeshel from The DIY Showoff, I told her that "I feel like I know a celebrity!" obviously referring to her.

Though she insisted that she's not (so very humble, my dear friend, Roeshel), it finally hit me...

...maybe it's because she so closely resembles a celebrity!

Roeshel from The DIY Showoff:



Sarah Walker from the TV show: Brothers & Sisters:

Soooo gorgeous!

She's one of my favorite characters from the show.

Anyone else see the resemblance?

Or is it just me?

Uncanny....

I think Roeshel is Sarah Walker, and she's just being her usual humble, modest self. Trying to fly under the radar. Well, I'm Roeshel's biggest stalker follower, so of course I would find out her secret!
