Coffee Mug Swap

So I am pretty much a blog slacker...i know {sigh}. I had you fooled by that trend of posts for a steady 2 weeks, right? Well, my true colors have shown themselves.

Anyhoo! Despite my poor consistency with blogging, I decided to participate in a blogger coffee mug swap that was being held (hosted) by Suzel Says. I thought it was a fun idea. I mean everyone loves getting "fun" mail and it was a great way to meet a new friend! 

I was paired with the lovely and stylish Jess, of J's Style, whose blog highlights her thrifting skills and fashion forward outfits each day. I am continually impressed by the fantastic pieces that she finds thrifting and her outfit choices are very inspiring. In the few weeks that I have been following her blog, I have noticed a change in the way that I view my own wardrobe! Thanks for the inspiration, Jess!

Jess sent me this DIY chalkboard mug that was inspired by this post. I loved how personal it was and the special touch of including a box of chalk! It was so sweet and definitely brightened my day.

I have linked up to the fun mug swapping going on over at Suzel Says. There are only a few days left to join in the fun!

Sick of Being Sick

Drats! I was on such a roll with my posts until our family got hit with this allergies-turned-chest congestion-bug. It got all three of us and knocked me on my tush for 3 solid weeks. I was trying everything under the sun to take the edge off the discomfort until last week I gave up and went to see a doctor. I had convinced myself that it was Bronchitis, but thankfully it was just a Sinus infection. But what can I say, I am a wimp when it comes to pain so I have basically been a lump on our couch for the last 3 weeks with no energy or motivation to do anything but veg out on the couch. So there is my excuse reason for lack of posts. And I am sorry that I really have nothing to share with you in this post. I am hoping to get back on the horse with my projects and posts. Right before I got sick, my sister and I issued each other a project challenge to work on. Having given ourself a week to complete our projects, we both failed to meet our completion date, but she is lightyears ahead of me. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product and hoping that I will get to my project this weekend...

Until then, have a wonderful Friday!
