and then share my review...

Do you have any tried and true Pinterest reviews to share??

Elise's California Adventure

Finally after years of friendship Elise was able to come to California!

I decorated her room in a colorful vintage theme.

Painted a milk glass lamp yellow...

Filled a basket with new linens, her favorite snacks, toiletries, and gifts!

We filled our days with crafting

This was a cowl we modified the directions and ended up

with a leg warmer... Oops hahaha

Emilie spend her days crafting with us.

The kitchen table held two sewing machines and all of our supplies,

Off to the side was a 4 foot table filled with vintage sheets and fabric...

Photo op...

My mom's birthday was during Elise's visit and she made my mom

this dish towel..

She also made her homemade cream cheese biscuits and put them

in a glass Poppy jar (my mom's favorite) and brought pear preserves from

Georgia to complete the gift!

My mom LOVED it...

We made dishmats with terry cloth backing for drying dishes...

We took a trip to Sutter's Creek

The Three Amigos

We looked up CRAZY pronunciations

because clearly we say things different in CA than they

do in GA... For the record the correct way to say Top Ramen is:

RAHmen

not RAYmen ... ;)

...and we took a boat ride on the lake...

It was an AWESOME 10 days filled with

FUN.FRIENDS.and FOOD.

Thank you Elise for coming, until next time!

The Happy Day Project

My friend Julie and her friend Jeannett Have created

The Happy Day Project, here is a little info...

This whole use your blog for good thing is fun! So they brainstormed and came up with a little plan. For one week we will spread sunshine unexpectedly. Many of the tasks are easy, lots of them can involve little ones. All of them will be a little ray of light in some one's day. But we also wanted to make it cute. We like cute. So we enlisted super talented friends who donated their time and skill to make printables that go with the day's task.

A peek at next weeks missions:

What's next? We start Monday. Both Jeannett and Julie will be a day ahead so we are able to post about the daily task bright and early in the morning. Each assignment will have many options so you can tailor it to your family, your community, or your schedule. At the end of the week we will celebrate the days that were made just a little bit happier with a big linky party and some super fun surprises. What can you do? Join in! Commit to spending the next couple of days thinking and planning what you are going to do. Even better than that, help us spread the word. Blog, tweet, facebook, pin, sky write, about The Happy Day Project. Lets flood the world with sunshine next week.
