If you haven’t entered, go ahead and do so now for next weeks drawing… (all previous comments will be part of next weeks drawing)!!!
And I promise, I will have the kids draw like my last giveaway… we just walked in from THE shower and they were exhausted… as am I!
See you in a week!
If you have no idea what I am talking about – read on!~Okay Girls…
I need a break.
There are so many fun posts swirling around in my head…
Little Sister’s bridal shower is a week away and that calls for big sister to make and assemble a Ladurée style macaron tower! Full of my Parisian macarons of heady flavors…. oh my gosh… wait ’til you see the styling of this shower!!!! Never mind find an outfit to accommodate my new “thicker” figure, buy a gift, screw my head on tight, etc…
The big garden project from last fall needs attention if it’s ever going to be done (though the two inches of SNOW we are supposed to get is not going to help)
I have been a re-decorating fool around the house and have more ideas I am anxious to get out of my brain and into real life….
Fifi’s book signing at Sentimental Gardens in Geneva that Mom is in charge of planning… she is so gracious… I get to “feel” like I am involved!!!
AND, of course, Shop the Shed… oh-my-goodness… if you are even THINKING of coming… I don’t even know what to say… it’s going to be amazing! For our first sale the line was CLEAR down the driveway (IN THE RAIN!) I wouldn’t be surprised if this one stretches around the BLOCK!
The reasons for my much needed pause go on…
THE COMPUTER.”
Mom’s Porch’s “spread”… The Parisienne Farmhouse article is the one just before hers! How cool is that to be in a book right next to yo’ Momma??

I would LOVE a copy of Romantic Prairie Style! I was considering ordering one from you, but we just don’t have the money right now. 🙁
Merci beaucoup for the giveaway, I will be posting about it on my blog!

Wow, that is a lot of stuff to be doing at the moment!! And it all sounds very exciting!! Looking forward to hearing about it after your break (and seeing photo’s of the macaroon tower).
Have fun,
Selina.

I love the busyness Warm Spring weather brings…it helps me remove my extra little “Winter Padding”
Enjoy your time away!

I’m guessing this is for your US readers only – but if you are prepared to post overseas I’d love a chance to win this giveaway. If not, no worries, (gosh that sounds so Aussie!) I’m thinking Mother’s day is coming up and my thoughtful children usually ask me what I would like – this year guess what is on my wish list!
Ann – a faithful follower!
I will miss your posts while you are away, but completely understand reality. I just can’t figure out where you get the energy to do all that you do – especially while you’re pregnant. Maybe you should do a post on THAT! :0)
Count me in on the lovely giveaway. Wishing you the time and energy to get done all that’s on your plate right now. Looking forward to awesome posts and pics when you come back.

Oui-please drop my name in the bucket for Fifi’s book!

Get done all you need/want to get done…as always we’ll be waiting!
You are one busy lady! My sister just threw me the best baby shower. Lots of sweet details. I know you’re going to have so much fun doing that for your sister.
Have a good week. Don’t forget to stop and put your feet up now and then. 🙂
I would love to win a copy of this book for my best friend. I have one of my own, but I would love to have one for her. Thank you for the chance!
you are rocking out the To Do list! 😀 I would definitely love to win a copy and bien sur, je suis une Follower!
I loved the write up on you in Artful Blogging.
I know what you mean about being tickled when they begin to read. I have two bookworms that I’m very proud of.
Your gardening project, how expensive was it to get started? We hope to start a garden this spring.
Enjoy your time off, Angela, if I dare even call it that! Or perhaps enjoy your two weeks away from the computer is more appropriate. I can “hear” the excitement and enthusiasm you have regarding the projects you will engage yourself in during the two-week respite. I will enjoy a brief respite of sorts with a copy of “Romantic Prairie Style” and a cup of hot tea should I be lucky enough to win it! God bless…
We will all be waiting with baited breath for your return! I know you will come back well armed with amazing posts!
I would love to win a copy that book. I need some style!

I’m going to have to try my luck on winning this book for myself!
I received the book I purchased from you and took a peak before giving it to my mother-in-law, and it is beautiful!!! The pages of your home are gorgeous. You have such a talent for decorating. Everything is perfectly in place/symmetrical-great color combinations and truly inspiring. And did you paint all of the backsplash tiles in your kitchen???
