Safe To Say

**P.S. There are 3 days left for the CSN gift card giveaway! Enter Here!!**

I think it is clearly safe to say that Capo has adjusted well to his new backyard! :)

He is loving his sunbathing time!

I found him today coming out of the crawl space underneath the house, with his face covered in cobwebs, tail wagging and smiling. He's one happy guy!

I'm sorry for the lack of recipes as of late. With the move, I've done a lot less cooking. But next week, since we're more settled, it's back to the grind.

I've also been busy trying to get a link up going with the list of "fave's". But I CANNOT figure out how to get the button/grab box thing working on my blog. I have the button made, but all the html code junk totally confuses me. Anyone have any good suggestions!?!

Happy Weekend!!!

Exciting News

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!

So, I promised you I'd be back with some exciting news...

Are you ready....

I'm hosting my very first GIVEAWAY!! :)

I was so excited when I was contacted by CSN in order to host a giveaway for a $40 gift card to any of there amazing online stores! They sell some awesome stuff, so you can use it on just about anything... cookware, bakeware, dining room sets, shoes, purses, or bedroom furniture..

A while back, I posted that I was redoing my bedroom in "vintage romantic" - well, if I won, I would use my gift card to purchase this awesome headboard. In fact, I will probably be buying it anyway, even though I can't win! :)

And I have these Le Creuset baking pans, and I use them for everything.. Love them.... You can find these on their website too.

So, here's what you have to do in order for YOU to possibly be a winner! You can get one entry for each of the following below, so pick one or all three... but you must leave a separate comment for each letting me know so I can pick a winner!

1. Leave a comment below telling me what you would buy from CSN stores online!

A Sneak Peek...

We are still trying to sort through the craziness of boxes, but we are in the new place!

I took a few pictures before we started moving in, so you didn't see our messiness... once we get settled, I'll take a few more.

We love it... it's small and quaint, and perfectly us!

We had some amazing friends who helped us pack up our old place in three loads! What troopers. I owe them all a home-cooked meal! It's always kind of awkward moving - everybody sees your whole life! :)

I'll be back soon once I'm all settled in (or at least partly settled) with some REALLY exciting news!!! For now, here's the sneak peek...

My new kitchen. Isn't that stove/oven gorgeous! :)

Our dining room - great for entertaining. I love the arches!

Living room - complete with fireplace. Can't wait to snuggle up!

My amazing new tub, and there are 2 shower heads!

Great little backyard for Capo to play!
