Little Ivy #3: An Update

If you remember, over a year ago I wrote a post describing my lack of ability to keep ivy plants alive. Well, I'm proud to announce that Little Ivy #3 is doing very well. I have had to cut it back once already and need to again as it is invading my kitchen counter. Let's just hope I haven't jinxed the poor plant by bragging on it!

About a month ago, the ideas for Christmas presents started rolling and I just couldn't stop them! I picked out the perfect fabric for each project; just recently I realized how strange all these fabrics look together without knowing what they will become. I just had to snap a picture!

And the WINNER is....

...HORN HERD MOM, who said "Love your fall cards! Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year..the crunch of falling leaves, pumpkin spiced lattes, getting to wear sweat shirts again!"

Congratulations, Horn Herd Mom!!

Please send me an email (kristen.munson@gmail.com) and let me know two things:
1) Which set of Fall Thank You Cards you would like (the Bouquet set or the Wildflower set)

Now, since I love to try to win things and never do and I know the disappointment of not winning, I'm offering a one-time-use 20% discount at my store to EVERYONE who entered this giveaway contest. You can use this discount now or later and I will make a note of who entered. Just to make sure, though, enter AUTUMN1 in the "notes to seller" when you checkout. The discount is good on your ENTIRE order (excluding shipping). If you choose to take advantage of this offer, I will refund the 20% after receiving the order and payment. Happy shopping at The Littlest Daisy!

As for what I love about fall - it's the coolness in the air, especially since we live in HOT Texas now. I love baking apple pies and peach pudding. I love the crunch of leaves under my feet (I actually picked up a habit from my first college roommate of intentionally crunching through the leaves). I love a hot cup of coffee on a crisp morning. Oh - and I love the birds singing. I think they are happier this time of year, too. I have noticed that their songs seem livelier lately. (Perhaps that's my imagination, but I like the thought of it anyway). I love all the spices associated with fall and I can hardly wait to get baking!!
