Go buy a cookie....

I'm tired. It's late. I'm full-up. So I'm reading blogs I've been neglecting for eons. And while I know all this, I haven't read one of my best friends blogs in forever. I'd say my best friend, she was my best friend in high school, my roommate in college & beyond... but life is funny. You can't claim a best friend if you aren't in touch for every little thing. And this is not a little thing.

Check it out, read, feel, and buy a cookie. Neal's cookies are truly amazing (and any man that's 6'4" that can bake like that is a real man in my book), you will not be disappointed.... and you'll have done your good deed for the day.

Come on Down!

I'm sitting in my beautiful hotel room in Stuttgart, DE, finally blogging again! Since my last post my life has been so, so, so, um, exciting. So much has happened. I couldn't blog it all if I wanted. My husband, me, my 4 youngest kids, have all moved to Germany. Uh. Moved as in, we are here. I have yet to find the time to actually look for a house. Military life is full of catch-22's.

In the meantime, Stone Accents Studio has also launched it's annual Birthday Bash replete with it's 2nd Annual Next Designer Contest. And, Oh!Em!Gee!, we have 71 contestants. It is beyond exciting. The first round has started, and in honor of the color scheme I've made a little freebie (above) to help get all y'all excited as well.

For even more freebies check out the fantastic mini-kits the Aspiring Designers are busy creating in our Next Designer Gallery. Be sure to leave them some love, they are working hard, under pressure and sooooooooo nervous! Finally, come back on September 6th and VOTE for your favorite Designer.
