Thanks for the link, {E}!
happy anniversary!
Nine years ago today, at 12 noon, I was standing at the altar to say "I do." I had a wonderful, beautiful wedding, and I have a wonderful, beautiful marriage. I thank God that I not only have the best husband, but he's the best Daddy to our boys. Thank you, {K}, for being exactly what I need. I love you. Happy Anniversary!
almost famous
Garnish, my newest favorite shopping (and idea) website, mentioned me in their idea blog. I tagged them in my post below, but I have more to say about them. Their customer service couldn't be better. I emailed a question about a party favor idea I had, and Suzanne not only wrote back the nicest letter full of ideas, but attached a picture of my idea. She went to the trouble to make one to show me! How many companies do that for their customers?
Garnish is all about presentation. I love a good presentation. I like shopping at the stores in my little hometown because they wrap things up nice and pretty, with tissue paper and lots of ribbon. I can buy a 50 cent shell at The Vintage Flea for {p} and they still take the time to make the bag look pretty. My friend Betsy (hello, Betsy! Time to get a blog.. or a website!) at Paper Appointments does the same thing... cute little bags tied up with cute little ribbon. It feels good knowing that someone takes the time to make something look nice, just for you. And that is what Garnish is all about. Taking something, and giving it a little piece of you before you give it to someone else.
This comes from straight from their website, and sums it up perfectly:
"Garnish is much more than a product, it is the emotion that surrounds what you create with our products. It is running through the grass barefoot or using your good china every day "just because."
Go ahead and check out their site. They aren't paying me or giving me a discount to write any of this. I'm writing it because I believe in sharing when a company goes above and beyond for customer service. And, because I like sharing good ideas and they have a million (well, almost!)of them to share with you.

about boys...
I caught this on a blog from garnish (which has in turn made me think of a million things I could do with the neat, simple packaging). Anyway, it doesn't get much more accurate than these quotations about boys. True, every single one!
A boy is truth with dirt on its face, beauty with a cut on its finger, wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the hope of the future with a frog in its pocket. - Allen Beck
A perfect summer day to a little boy means, a scrape on the knee, mud on his face and collecting bugs in the garden. - Author Unknown
You don't raise heroes; you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes. - Walter Schirra Sr.
Boys are God's way of telling you your house is too neat. - Author Unknown
Boy: a noise with dirt on it. - Author Unknown
