Musings From My Week

Like I said yesterday, this week has been a whirlwind of fun.  Here's a glimpse of some of the things that have kept me busy:

Birthday parties!

Awesome mail.  :)

Almost breaking my leg while standing on a piano bench to reach the tiniest nesting doll off the top shelf... you know, to make this: 
Totally worth it.  ;)

More birthday fun... (Erin's photo)

Buttons!!!  (Will's photo)

Friend time at a soda fountain.

Customizing tough Blythes and hanging out.  :)

Playing Blythes with the best pal ever... (Erin or Will... I don't even know...)

Absolutely great days. (Will's photo)

All in all, I'd say I liked this week.  If you haven't gotten your swap partner, don't be sad.  I promise it is coming.  I finally got through all of my Wednesday emails around 2 am and had to get some sleep.  If you have gotten your partner, please get in contact with them, and feel free to chit chat.  This is gonna be a lot of fun!!!  Happy Saturday!  xoxo Katie

    I love your blog! It's so pretty. I love your outfit posts. I missed the deadline for the craft swap but if you need an extra person, I'm available. If not, I'll catch it the next time around!

    Oh my god the buttons! I can totally relate to that. But I've moved since my last buttons in giant buckets excursion, I must find a new source!

    Alix don't worry, I think I sent her an email the same day, the first day she posted the email, and I haven't heard back yet either.

    We just have to be patient :). I know it's hard, haha. She's just not done yet.

    I'm excited about the swap though, can't wait to get my partner!

    Yes! And, I just cleaned out my spam folder which held lots and lots of missing swap entries, so I will definitely be sending out lots more soon. <3

    I LOVE buttons. I have no idea what I need so many for... But I still keep collecting. My kids like to play with them - I'll make that the excuse!

    Your blog is pretty. Such great photos. Only just found it in the last couple of weeks.

    I've never been in a swap before... what happens? I am too late to be involved - plus I am in Australia...
