What a hectic Monday...

Monday was so crazy hectic. Errands before work, work for 8 1/2 hours, straight from work to Women's Bible Study. After the study, met with a lady who was placing a Thirty-One order. Stopped by Family Dollar for Pepsi and Junior Mints. Went to Krystal's and picked up a couple of chili dogs. I love those things. Got home and placed the Thirty-One order after I ate. Went to bed with my book and my Junior Mints. Read awhile, watched a couple of episodes of Big Bang Theory and fell asleep listening to a light rain. It was definitely a wild and crazy day.

Today is going to be busy, but more relaxing. I need to run to Hobby Lobby and Dollar Tree (never a chore for me). Sometime this afternoon I have a committee meeting at the church for our new directory. Then a family dinner tonight to celebrate Garret's, my oldest grandson, birthday while he is home on spring break. I can't believe he will be 19. Where have the years gone. 

While I'm out and about I need to get a new vase and flowers like this. I had these for years and they had gotten so used that I need to replace them. The vase cracked and I used the eggs in a church craft. Time to replace it all. I may put it on the kitchen table since I already have Easter in the dining room. 

I need to pick up some more Easter Eggs at Dollar Tree. I have a couple of friends who want one of my egg wreaths. I have to get my out of storage for the front door. 

This popped up in my Facebook today and I remember I never did make one. I'm going to see if I can find some paper and a frame at Hobby Lobby or Dollar Tree today. 

Am I the only one who uses their blog as a shopping and to do list. If I can't remember my plans or what I am wanting to find, all I have to do is pull up my blog and run through it. Hopefully this will remind me to get in the linen cabinet and find the Easter apron Mom made for me years ago.  

This also popped up in my memories from years ago where I was really organized with my Thirty-One business. Which is funny considering I just found this bag yesterday in my stock box. Got it out to start using it for awhile. Just got to get the matching hanging file holder out and fix up my to go bag and I'll feel organized again.

I have got to put this on Facebook today to see what somebody would charge to make me one. This would be perfect for many uses. I don't crochet but to me it look kind of simple. 

Last but definitely not least, my favorite photo I've seen this week. 

Happy Sunday

Fundraiser for a school trip

As you all know, I love Thirty-One and judging by how many consultants we have, I'm not the only one. Right now, my granddaughter Alexis is doing an online party to raise funds for her 8th grade school trip. They are going to Washington, D.C., New York City and Hershey, Pennsylvania. As a Mamaw, I want to do what I can to help her raise money for her trip. 

 If you like Thirty-One and would like to help in her fundraiser, you can visit my site and place an order and have it shipped direct to your house. All orders great or small will be appreciated. Simply follow the link below. I am donating my commission on each sale to help her with her trip expenses.

With spring coming up and summer not far behind, is it time to update your purse for the season? If you do place an order, check out our purse collection. It is the special for the month. Spend $35 and get any purse for 50% OFF! That is a great deal. Here are a few samples of our purses and patterns, but they are offered in a lot more patterns than is posted here.

I love playing around with the personalization on the website. Here's just some samples of the things you can get and customer design in patterns and personalization of your choice. Don't need anything for yourself? What about a end of the year teachers gift? A mother's day present for your mom? A bag for your little sports players? Maybe you have a hubby that loves to hunt or you are looking for something to keep your tablet in. There are so many possibilities for our products. And with each one coming in an assortment of pattern and fabric options, the skies the limit. You can contact me at

MamawsPlace @ Gmail.com if you have questions.

Thank you for taking the time to check out Thirty-One and we appreciate any orders that are placed.

Friday Foto Friends

I love the sky. Always have. Always will. I post a lot of pictures of sunshine and blue skies, unique bursts of sun coming through the clouds. Sunrises and sunsets. But last night the moon was awesome the way the clouds were around it. Didn't have my camera with me so these are from my phone but from now on, my camera is going everywhere I go. They may not be the best in the world but at least I captured it.

Can you believe it?

One month from today is Easter. Seems like just yesterday it was Christmas. I've decorated my table and put a couple of things out, but this week I hope to finish decorating for Easter. I did get a new tablecloth but haven't had a chance to put it on the table yet. I will show it to you in a couple of days. 

Yesterday, I got one of those random Pinterest emails that says "We have found something we think you will like." Well, they nailed it. I not only like it, I love it. I won't need till Christmas but I'm going to start looking for fabric now because I really want it to look as much like this as it can. 

It got me to wondering if there was anything like this for bunnies. I did find one with more than one bunny, but they weren't layered like the tree, but I bet I could still do these bunnies in layers. Except I would want fabric with Easter print.

These are cute too. Just a bunny in the corner.

This one is just too adorable with all the springy fabric cut in strips.

But I think one of my favorites for Easter was the carrots. Love it. 

I guess I see a trip to Joann's Fabrics in my future.

Made me smile...

Looking ahead

I'm just not sure how to dress. I ran out this morning for a quit trip and wore sweat pants and a t-shirt....WITH FLIP FLOPS. Guess the warm weather spoiled me and I just can't decide if it is spring or winter.

I start looking ahead to spring no matter what the weather is. In another couple of months it will be time to think about patio furniture and plants. I want to find another Swedish ivy. Except this time, I have a place to bring it in and sit it during winter. Lost one I had before because we had nowhere to put it in the house. It was HUGE. I want another one.

I want Boston ferns for my front porch. I love those.

I think I want white rockers for my front porch with a small table between them

I want a small patio set for the back porch, but won't need an umbrella.

Several years ago, Thirty-One created this look for an office. I loved it at the time and I love it still, even though you can't get these patterns any more. I really regret not getting them back when they had them.
