I wanted to take a minute to thank some people for their recent mentions.
First, thank you so so much to Nancy over at Marcus Design for her feature on my home.  I'm totally inspired by her design style and adore her blog.  I don't want to spoil the surprise but I'll be featuring Nancy and some of her many talents in the upcoming days.  If you haven't been over to have a look at her fabulously stylish blog, you must; it's filled with amazing inspiration. 


And thank you to these ladies for the sweet mentions.

 1. Annie and Elizabeth over at The Now Stylebook. These ladies are adorable and I'm thrilled that we have become blogging friends. Filled with fashion, decor and everything chic, The Now is one of my daily 'must reads'.
2. Wendy at Desire to Decorate for the lovely sendoff to her giveaway.  I was thrilled to find out that I was the winner and her sweet message was such a nice surprise.  Wendy's blog is always filled with decor inspiration, great commentary and beautiful photos. 


3. Full House for including a picture of my home and posting a sweet link over to my blog.  Full House was one of the first blogs I started reading and I love the daily feed of beautiful decor.  If you haven't already seen her holiday table post, you must head over and have a look- ridiculously good.


Enjoy your day everyone and happy entering.
I'm hoping to get a big decorating DIY holiday art project done today.

Fingers crossed all around.
