The Vintage Pearl Giveaway

First off, I love the Vintage Pearl. All of the jewelry is so beautiful. Unfortunately I haven't been lucky enough to win a giveaway yet, but I am still hoping. This year for Mother's Day I dropped hints like crazy for one of the pieces, but my husband didn't catch on. So I am still waiting for a piece. I might just go ahead and buy one for myself. Maybe to me for the BIG 30. I love a lot of the pieces in the store. So hard to pick just one. For the giveaway she is doing at the moment I would have to pic this necklace. It is so pretty. I would want both kids names on it or maybe one word such as family, believe or something just at inspiring.

A trip to Star Lake, Hoover, AL

last night we went to hoover to meet up with my in-laws for dinner. they have been in las vegas all week for a jewelry show. totally. jealous. of course they posted on gowalla every time they went somewhere fun to eat and such. we decided to meet at the purple onion on 31 for dinner. of course we got there first since they were coming from the airport. since evan grew up in that area he knows of cool places to go. so we decided to kill some time and let the kids get out and run around. well sidney ran around. reese mostly sat. it was a fun outing. there were ducks everywhere. some mallards, some geese too. there were also these ugly ducks with red bumpy faces that looked like their parents were a duck and a rooster. totally. weird. looking. so i thought i would share some of the pics i took of reese enjoying the ducks. enjoy!!!

so I was reading through twitter and a friend posted about a giveaway for handmade recess. her site is so cute and so is this giveaway. I wish I could win one. I haven't ever won a blog giveaway. this is definitely one worth winning and a blog worth following.
