momma gets stuff done
Buuuut…. I am HERE. Check out this fun tute on making your own photo collage! Stacie at Staying Me invited me over to share one of my Christmas Gift tutorials… don’t worry, you haven’t seen it yet. Go check it out and leave Stacie some sweet comments while you’re there! And come back tomorrow… for more printable subway art!
So, my lucky followers, I have a super exciting announcement. CSN Stores has contacted me once again and wants to do another giveaway! How awesome is that? Have you never checked out CSN Stores? Oh my, you are missing out! Especially since summer is on it’s way, hard to believe with all the snow back East, but it will be here in a few months. How awesome would a new wooden swing set be for the backyard? I may have to start scraping up pennies. Little Monkey will be old enough to enjoy it this year. I’m really excited!
So, would you totally love to get your hands on $55 for anything in CSN’s 200+ stores?!? Who wouldn’t right? Here’s what you need to do:
1) Check out CSN’s site, come back and leave a comment on what you would love to have. Please leave the link to the item which you refer. Yes, that means you actually have to go to their site and look. Just don’t forget to come back! =)
2) Follow While He Was Napping and leave a comment stating you do. If you’re just going to “un-follow” after the giveaway, please skip this entry.
Please leave an email address with your comments. If I can’t contact you, a new winner will be selected.
You get up to two chances to enter. This giveaway will be open for 10 days. Giveaway closes Wednesday, February 9th at 11:00pm PST. Winner will be chosen through Random.Org and will be announced by Friday morning. Good Luck! Leave your comments!
Ok, the whole printable mailing list debacle got me thinking. It did bug me that people would be so blatantly disrespectful, but I wasn’t happy with the situation ending the way it did. It kinda felt like I just gave up, which isn’t me. And it totally isn’t fair to those of you who do play by the rules. So, I’m instigating another change. If this doesn’t work, I’ll probably change it again. There’s gotta be something out there that will work. Persistence, right?
I will still do printables. I shoot for one a week or so (Sorry about this week, but the 4shared solution wasn’t sitting right with me).
Just click and save. Enjoy…
These pieces were inspired by the candy Conversation Hearts. All of the sayings are ones that actually appeared on the candies in the past 13 years. Did you know the sayings change from year to year? If so, you’re so much more on top of things than I am. I’d never really noticed. Share the love with some sweet words.
Let’s get to this party! So, lemme see what you got! If you’ve got Valentine’s or love themed projects, link them up here.
I would love for you to become a follower. It’s the little button on the side bar that says “Follow”. =] I would also appreciate any help in spreading the word about Weekend Wander… that’s what the cute little button below is for. If you like what you see and plan on being a regular, I’d love for you to add my name to your link party list (who doesn’t have one of those, right!?!) or my button to your blog, but no pressure.
However, by linking, you are giving me permission to use your photos in a feature of your project. Of course, this feature will include a link back to the original post. Thanks!
This linky list is now closed.
This idea isn’t original, but it’s one of our favorites to do. Ship the kiddos off to the sitter’s and enjoy the evening at home with your sweetheart. I have heard complaints from people that they just can’t see the sense in parting with money for the sitter when they are just staying home. I promise THIS will be soo worth it. If you have the opportunity, arrange for the kids to stay over-night. It’ll be a night to remember. Take a trip to the spa without ever leaving home.
Here’s the How:
1) Arrange for someone to watch the kids. If you can’t find a sitter, you can minimize this date to exclude dinner.
2) Do any shopping you need to do. Get some yummy bubble bath, a facial mask, body scrub, lotion, massage oil, body butter, foot scrub, bath salts, scented rose petals or any other bathy things you want. If you’re doing dinner, get any ingredients you may need. Dinner, however, is not the focus of this date. Go simple.
3) Invite your sweetie to get a little R&R with you. You don’t have to spill the beans on the whole evening, but let your honey know you’ve made plans and you’d like them to join you.
4) The night of your date, set up the bathroom all pretty (maybe even clean it?!?) Candles could add a nice touch. If you have decided to have champagne or sparkling cider set that out in a bucket of ice to chill. Get out the fluffiest, most luxurious towels you have. Pull out the bathrobes. Put a set of clean sheets on the bed. Get real fancy and put chocolates on the pillows and roses in a vase. Get dinner going so that it will be done around the time your sweetie gets home from work.
5) Invite your sweetheart to come in and unwind with a drink (your choice of beverage). Get dinner all set out and enjoy a meal together. Take your time. RELAX!
6) After dinner, lead your lover to the bedroom. Instruct them to disrobe and put on the bathrobe. Go and run a hot bath with all the good stuff. Bring in your sweetie and enjoy a bath together. Take your time and RELAX. Sense a theme yet?
7) After your soak in the tub, take turns giving each other massages. Use the lotion as a moisturizer after your bath. If fairness is an issue, set a time limit. After you are finished, cuddle up and watch a movie or read together. Here it comes: JUST RELAX and enjoy each other and your evening.
If you are interested in purchasing the digital items of this kit, let me know and I’ll make a reserved listing for you in my Etsy Shoppe. It comes complete with detailed instructions, the invitation, and a pamphlet for your spa.
