Here’s What’s Up

Hello Friday, my sweet, sweet friend!! It’s been crazy around these parts lately, and my head is a whirl with activity today, so I’ll just throw it all out there. Here’s what’s up this weekend at Casa Sugarplum.

You know I’m not a frequent hair-washer, but did you know Mr. Sugarplum colors it? (I get some help in the blonde department. Shocker, I know.) Granted I don’t use off-the-shelf box color, since my Nashville bff is a rock-star hairstylist, she keeps me stocked with the good stuff. And even though Mr. Sugarplum does a bang-up job, it doesn’t compare to a professional. In the six years we’ve lived here, I’ve been relying on him and frequent visits with my friend to keep me from looking like a wildebeest. As hard as it is, it’s time to find a local hairstylist. I’ve got an appointment tomorrow with someone new, and I’m bringing these pictures with me. Does anyone do blonde and bangs better than Reese?

My son is single-handedly keeping the healthcare industry in business. Yesterday he had his third x-ray this year…busted foot, sprained thumb and now fractured arm. Next up is the appointment with an orthopedic. Is this just a boy thing??

Since it appears Google isn’t going to come to their senses and keep Picnik around, it’s time to face the inevitable. I’ve been playing around with the different photo-editing sites available, and PicMonkey is by far my favorite. It was created by former Picnik people, so it’s veeeeeery similar. I edited this post and this post completely with PicMonkey. It’s free for now, but I’m sure once they add more features (and Picnik closes for good), they’ll start charging.

I can’t believe we leave for our Canadian adventure one week from today! There is so much I want to take with me, so I’m trying to take my own advice about packing wisely!

Slowly but surely, I’ve been going through our digital pictures and making a family photo book for each year, but ran out of steam around 2009. Snapfish is having a sale on all photo books, so here’s hoping I find time for 2010 and 2011! Use code CelebrateBKS for 50% off until April 15, or Bookit40 for 40% off until April 30.

And lastly, I’d like to welcome my newest sponsors! I’m so honored they want to be part of this blog. If you’re interested in reaching the hottest, most clever readers in blogland, shoot me an email.

What have you got going on this beautiful Spring weekend? Enjoy, lovebugs!

Here’s What’s Up

It’s Friday!! Aaaaaaaw yeah! I am definitely ready for the weekend, how about you? I can’t wait to curl up with my computer and check out all the travel tips you gave me for British Columbia! Thanks so much, eh! (Last time, promise.) My head is awhirl with activity today, so I’ll just get it out there.

Yesterday I was able to meet the talented Pam of Pixelimpress for lunch, and it was so fun to talk with someone who gets the whole online/bloggy friend thing! She’s the creative girl who made my packages so fun for Christmas…her tags and cards are the best.

 Me thinks I need some calling cards now! (For no reason other than to say, “Here’s my calling card. Call me.”)

We have friends from our Nashville days, who now live in Montreal, visiting family in Texas (you follow?) this weekend. I’m beyond excited to see them!

My design ADD has kicked into overdrive, and my head might explode if I don’t duplicate Courtney’s ridiculously amazing frame project immediately!

The frames in my Dining Room are positively begging for brass corners. Nevermind that I’m in the middle of two other room projects.

My mom has been buttering me up to come help her with some house projects. She’s even offering free lunch and gas if I come over Sunday, which naturally has me really worried about what she wants me to do! Of course I’ll go, if only so I can mention it when the time comes to sand my secretary!

This image from Pinterest was my favorite this week. I challenge you to stare at it for 5 seconds without smiling.

And, I’m guest posting at Tiffany’s, from Living Savvy today. She’s got a fun Spraypainter’s Anonymous Series, so go check it out. I promise it’s more than just mindless ramblings.

So that’s what’s up in my head and our house this weekend! Thanks for letting me get it all out. What are you sweet peas up to this weekend?
