{I'm in Nesting Newbies}

I'm am thrilled to finally announce that the 4th issue of Nesting Newbies is out and guess what....I'M IN IT!!! I was contacted a few months ago to be a part of this issue by submitting my Summer Plans in the same fashion that I post my Weekend Plans every Friday {handwritten, drawings, collages, etc}. Of course I jumped at this amazing opportunity and had a blast putting it together! So without further ado ~ here are my Summer Plans...

Thank you Jodi and Lea ~  being a part of your amazing magazine is a complete honor. Looking back at the article I've realized that I had an amazing summer and in 20 days I get to top it off with my trip to Italy. Whoo-hoo!!! Thanks again, the layout looks fantastic!

{Nesting Newbies Magazine: Issue 3}

Well they've done it again, Nesting Newbies Magazine has developed a third issue and it's full of all sorts of goodies and lovely eye candy. I have flipped through the online magazine several times now trying to narrow down all of my favorites {as you know, I can get carried away} and below are the chosen ones {all of the arrows and quotes are mine, not Nesting Newbies}...

I had to include the cover because one of my favorite bloggers AphroChic had her lovely pillows featured on the cover this issue. Congrats Jeanine!!!

I love dips. Taco dip, chili dip, Heluva good french dip (lol), buffalo chicken dip..the list goes on. Next on my list I would like to try this Smokey Chipolte Greek Yogurt Dip - yum!

I just love this idea! There's nothing better than spending the day at the spa - imagine giving {and receiving} these cute little goodie bags filled with chocolates, a gift certificate to return to the spa, nail polish, etc. to all your friends. Just love this {definitely adding to my future wedding party wish list}!!!

Nesting Newbies added a whole section in this issue about Nooks in your home. They included several amazing ideas, but this one by far is my fave. It looks so cozy and intimate - adore it!

Yesterday I said to a friend that I wanted to sell everything in my house and start all over. When I do - I would love to add this grey sofa. I can see using this in a little sitting area in my bedroom...OR in a special nook. What do you think?

So there you have it - if you would like to see more {which I know you do} click here, soak it in, and enjoy!!!

{Nesting Newbies Magazine}

Yesterday one of my favorite bloggers, AphroChic, posted about a new online magazine called Nesting Newbies. I usually don't like to repost an exact story that one of my fellow bloggers posted, but after giving credit to where it's due, this magazine is just way to fab not to share the love. I was immediately drawn to the lovely photography, food/recipes, entertaining tips, and of course their interior decor eye-candy. I could go on and on about how amazing this magazine is - but I will allow you to see and judge for yourself. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do...

So luxe...so fab...right? Be sure to click here to see the entire issue, and here if you would like to join Nesting Newbies' Facebook fan page.
