I changed my tagline. (LOOK UP!!) What do you think? I went to make business card for Allume because Vistaprint was having a sale and realized I didn’t really have a tagline and the one that was there was WAY too long for a business card. These are the ones I ordered.
Last week I participated in my first Five Minute Friday link-up. Every week you are given 5 minutes to blog about ONE WORD. It was actually kind of fun and I was amazed at what I was able to write in 5 minutes and it was pretty thought provoking as well. Last weeks word was WORSHIP. This weeks word is RED but I haven’t posted about it yet. I probably won’t get to it until last Friday/early Saturday.
One thing that is really neat about the link-up is the community the link-up has built. About 2 hours before the word is released a lot of the bloggers have a twitter party and chat about everything and anything using the hashtag #FMFParty. It’s really interesting to chat with everyone and see what people are talking about that week. It’s also really weird to participate in a twitter party with no set topic.
Earlier this week I posted about some swagbuck codes that will be released later in the month. Make sure to check it out and set your calendars/alarms so you don’t miss them as they are time sensitive!!
You know what store is the best kept secret? The Christmas Tree Shop!! Yes this store is opened YEAR ROUND and it has AWESOME STUFF! We were near it last weekend and decided to stop. We got a TON of things for my sisters wedding. All of their summer stuff was also 50% off. And they actually had very few “Christmas” items. I also got this cute little table for the beach. I saw it at CVS a few weeks ago but it was $12. I was waiting for CVS to put it on clearance but they hadn’t yet. So they missed out and I got it elsewhere for $3!
Tomorrow we are going to meet with the florist about the flowers for my sisters wedding. Then we are going to stop by the cathedral for some of the prayer services they are having. Should be a fund day.
I did finally decide on what we are going to do for the Bachelorette Party. Just waiting for the lady to email me back to see if the date and time I want are available. We’re hoping to do Painting With A Twist. My sister’s been DYING to do it for over a year so might as well do it for her bachelorette party!
We feel we are sort of in limbo right now with the wedding we have stuff to do but it’s still kind of far off. We have tried to go talk to the caterer twice and once she was on vacation and the 2nd time she was out due to a death in the family. Hopefully by next week she’ll be back in the office. Moving on before I bore all my readers with wedding details…
I was looking through my #30Before30 post and I’ve actually now officially completed 5 out of the 30 tasks. Not to bad considering I only started my list in March.
Need some comic relief? I saw this sign in the restroom at school earlier in the week. Apparently people weren’t taught the proper way to flush a toilet or there are a lot of germa-phobes around.

Oh my, I am a handle kicker! HAHAHA That sign made me laugh out loud!!! I don’t think it would dissuade me though, I really refuse to touch those things. Eeew.
I haven’t heard of the five minute friday! That may be just what I need to jump start my creativity.
Also, your business cards are so lovely. What a great idea!
