Happy Weekend.

I’m heading out early today because I get the keys to my house! Which means that Painting and Moving In can commence starting this afternoon. Woohoo! I’ll be taking Monday and Tuesday off to get a few things settled and some unpacking done. See you Wednesday!

This Weekend:
• paint, paint, and paint some more
• finish packing
• have refrigerator delivered and installed
• have two ceiling fans and one light fixture installed
• MOVE!
• unpack all those boxes that I’ve been so busy packing…
• collapse from exhaustion

Happy Weekend!

Congrats narnia! You were selected via the Random Number Generator. Send me an email with your full name and address and the rest will be history. Thank you to everyone who entered for a chance to win! I loved reading all of your stories and picturing your homes. And an equally ginormous thanks to Holly at Vinyl Wall Art for sponsoring the contest.

Big Smile. Big Thanks.

If I could smile and show this many teeth right now (and not look like I wanted to eat you) I would. Thank you so, so much for all of your congratulations and good wishes! It really does mean the world to me.

Win It: Vinyl Wall Art.

The week immediately following a long weekend is always endlessly long. So what better way to start it off than with a new contest?

Vinyl Wall Art has a great variety of wall decals for both adults and kiddies and I was thrilled when the lovely Holly contacted me about doing her first ever contest! The winner will receive an XX-Large matte black owl decal (15 x 23″). What I love most about this design is that it’s perfect for either a fun corner of your home or a child’s play space.The rules are simple. Leave a comment telling me where you would put the decal if you won. Does your reading nook need updated? Having a baby and need to complete the nursery? You tell me. But do it by noon CST this Thursday, July 10, 2008 because that’s when I’ll choose the lucky winner! (Sorry, but this particular contest is only available to those who live in the United States.)

If you visit vinylwallart.com between now and July 31st you’ll also receive free standard shipping on all orders over $100!

Monday Goodness: Your Life is Beautiful.

I’m verrry slooowly getting back into the groove of life after the long weekend and a nasty intestinal bug that showed up right around my bedtime last night. Blech. That means I’m running on about four hours sleep and I am most definitely an at least eight hours kinda girl.

Over the next few weeks things will be a little hectic and unpredictable here at Design Crush. I close on my house this Wednesday (woohoo!) and will be on “vacation” next Monday and Tuesday to make an attempt at putting some semblance of order to the new abode. But hold tight and I promise to get things back to normal as soon as possible!

Happy {July 4th} Weekend.

I’m mentally crashing with the long weekend just around the bend, so I thought I’d better get this last post in before it slipped my comatose mind. I hope you all have a lovely 4th of July weekend and I’ll see you back here Monday bright and early!

This Weekend:
• buy paint!
• pack
• hang out with E by the pool
• hit up some fireworks with C
• pack some more
• try to unplug from my Macbook
• grill
• yet more packing
• collect things for Goodwill

Dog Days.

This is what I’ve felt like doing ever since waking up this morning! It’s just one of them days. But at least my legs aren’t that hairy…
