A few of my favorite "Fall" things...


I'm loving this Fall weather (although the cold rain today put me in a complete funk where I wanted to stay under a blanket all day!)


I love the color of the trees (pic of my backyard tree coming soon!), the chill in the air and all the oranges and browns everywhere.



These are a few of my favorite things this Fall:

International Delight's Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer




I actually get excited about getting out of bed (more so than normal!) to come down and get my cup of coffee with this yummy creamer! You can even print a coupon for it here!

Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Muffin

I'm also LOVING the Pumpkin muffin from Dunkin Donuts and would want one every morning if it wasn't 560 CALORIES!!!!! But it's only here for a short while so enjoy while you can!!!

Aunt Sadie's Autumn Leaves Candle



Read the description and you'll see why I like it:

A symphony from nature: winds gusting while dropped leaves dance. And inside all is calm as Aunt Dot’s pumpkin pie cools. Pumpkin Scented Candle. An Aunt Sadie’s Favorite.

It makes my entire house smell delicious!

LOVING when these two share:

....it's so rare I had to catch it on camera!
And last but not least....LOVING the anticipation of dressing this cutie up for Halloween. And no, she will not be a pirate but something VERY GIRLY!
Imagine that!

What are you guys loving this Fall?

Happy Fall Y'all!

When you are a family of five with the fifth being a "little one" and by little, I mean under 12 months - it doesn't matter if four out of the five want to stay out late or go do something after bedtime....the fifth usually can't hang.


But last night we loaded up our three goblins and went to eat at one of my favorite restaurants


If you don't recognize the canoe BAR, then you haven't been there. It's Swallow at the Hollow and it's unbelievable barbecue - think awesome chopped pork, homemade mac and cheese and butternut squash that's to die for. Anyway, I digress!

Friday night we had big plans to walk Canton street and see the fun scarecrows. Downtown historic Roswell has organizations, schools and local businesses decorate them and place them along the streets. Our plans didn't work out so well friday night when Numero Uno got sick so we took them Saturday night!

So after our delicious dinner, we walked Canton Street with the kiddos and saw some fun scarecrows! We didn't see many because it was FREEZING and we were worried about baby girl!

The sign says "Always a party on Canton Street"


I loved this one for a Hair Salon - Hilites anyone? YES ME PLEASE!

The grays are coming in way too fast!


Are you wondering what Little Man is wearing? It was so cold and he had no coat so I put a shirt of mine on him that just happened to be in the car!

If near the Roswell/Alpharetta area, you should really check out the scarecrows!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Most of you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and everyone is finding ways to give back.
One of the stationery lines I carry (Polka Dot Pear) has a complete Pink Ribbon line which you can check out here. For the most part, each design comes in notecards, enclosure cards, round labels, square labels and notepads. I've picked a few of my favorites for the blog!

For the friend raising money for the Breast Cancer 3-Day


For the mother of three who is a survivor

for the teenager who wants to honor someone

For the grandmother who still believes in writing thank you'sFor the family who's been dealing with this horrible disease

During the month of October, when you place your order with me, I will take 20% off each order from the pink ribbon line so you can use that money and give back however you wish!

Big news for Noteworthy!


Many of you know I have a stationery business selling everything from wedding invitations to calling cards but what you may not know is how expensive advertising is! For my little small business endeavor, a small 1/4 ad in a magazine would be astronomical. Plus, does anyone else feel like all the magazines are going out of business?

I predict computers are the new magazines - as much as I LOVE to get my fresh magazine in the mail...I think it's eventually going to end. I may be wrong - it's just a prediction.

BUT....it's one reason why I've decided to take my advertising online!!! So hop on over to Darby's blog click on the Noteworthy ad and check it out!

To celebrate this exciting new venture, take 20% off your order at checkout by entering the coupon code Darby (this is on top of the already 15% off holiday cards plus free return address AND the already 25% enclosure cards and stickers!) Now THAT'S A DEAL!!!!!

Spread the word! Because we ALL know that word of mouth is the absolute BEST advertising!
