Hi, Leanne!! I missed last week's vlog...so happy I stopped by today. I LOvE your quote of the week idea...genius. Thank you for taking the time to do these. They are so personal and thoughtful and caring and sweet and just what I need.
Kim whatsherface has nothing on you Mama. Seriously. Little glamour goes a long way. Loving the hair. Funny story about the lipstick stain...my husband was Dee Snider from Twisted Sister one halloween and I put the lip stain on him. That stuff stayed on for days. It was hilarious. He kept telling people that his lips were chapped! Loving that quote missy!!
Oh Leanne!! I haven't been by in soooo long and look at you! I love love your vlog. You're such a natural and you look just fab! Love your quote for the week...I'm going to work my way back and watch the rest of them. You are truly inspiring and warm and funny too. What a treat to have my afternoon tea with you. Thank you for making me smile...and thank you for your beautiful comments. They were much needed and always appreciated :)
Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK : Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...
Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again. Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.
Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes" (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . . Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
I struggle with pampering myself, but I do think it's a great thing! This was a wonderful vlog post and just what I needed to get going this week! :-)

Hi Leanne,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed sharing my cup of coffee with you today.
LOVE, LOVE the quote you shared. Oh, so true!
And yes, I loved your beautiful eyes.
Do I find time to pamper myself?
What I do know ... I am going to pretty up my dry feet and freshen up the 2 month old polish on those toes.
Oh, yes! I am going to take time for self care this week.
Thanks for your company today. I enjoyed my visit with you.
xoxo
Helllllloooo Gorgeous!!! LOOK at you!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've lost that pampering thing and need to get that back. Thanks for the reminder.
