Fall Finds/Pretties/Baking Cookies/Swaps/Goodies... WOW!!


Hi girls! I feel like I am SO out of the loop the past week! My lil Gage came down with a fever and thank God it was only a viral infection! Now my oldest is feverish today with the chills! Strep throat is going around here in our city:( Bad timing, with back to school right around the corner! 12 more days till my Gavin goes back... YES, I am COUNTING down the days till I get a bit of a break from the mouth and attitude that the handsome lil' 8 year old son of mine has this summer- sheesh!! Anyone else feelin' my pain?

I got out today for a bit and hit up Michael's... ahhhhh, love! They had several aisles of 70% off decor so I snagged me this adorable tea cup planter; I think I may fill it with faux florals for each season! It was like $4.00!! CUTE!!

This cute beach sign for my bathroom was just under $3.00!
Wish I would have had one of these for my Beachy Giveaway too!


Some Martha Stewart chipboard letters for HALF price- yahoo!

I went to a new BIG Dolllar Tree this week and got these pretty fall flowers for my yellow kitchen crock...


Cute lil scarecrow!
I hate calling them that, cause they're not scary!


Also snagged this lil Welcome sign for the front door for a buck:)

One night this week, I was at my wits end with these lil turkeys!
So I pulled out some colored cookie dough in tubs that Brian has purchases from a fundraiser a couple months back.


They/I had so much fun cutting out different cookie shapes and decorating them with other colored dough, then some frosting and sprinkles!


Gage loved the RAW cookie dough a bit too much...
and help decorate by putting blobs of other colored dough onto our cutouts!


Lil Gagie sprinkling away on his cookie!


The BIG bro Gavin eating his creation!
Yes, despite those big brown eyes, HE IS A TURD!!

So sorry to hear about the strep throat...my daughter's area has been hit too, so far only she has come down with it.

I like your teacup planter and your idea of how to use is sounds excellent.

Enjoy your time away at the lake house.☼
