misc. mon. + LISA LEONARD giveaway

grab the button, write random and link up below.



Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters



1. when parent's text. 


oh my goodness.  if you want a few good laughs you must visit... it's all about parents texting their kids.  here are a few favorites:





2. bieber fever.  
our three year old niece, camryn, is a hoot.  she announced the other day that she has a crush on justin bieber beaver (in her words).  we were laughing about it over dinner and she proclaimed; "justin beaver is not funny.  he's beautiful."  she's three!  

3. a gift for parents.  
noisemakers are heaven sent, if i do say so myself.  we just bought one for sage.  one of the white noise varieties is a honking horn.  are you kidding me?!  since when is a horn white noise?  needless to say, we'll probably be returning this one.  even so, the womb sound helped her to truly sleep like a baby last night.  i told you it was heaven sent.

4. thanks grandma!
my grandparents from CA were just in town and left sage a precious set of knitted goods.  my grandma's hands have been busy!  sage loves to be adorned in the blanket, hat, scarf and jacket.  if you don't look closely, you might mistake her for a big ball of pink yarn.  : )

 

 


5.  the best for last! 
i took a break from giveaways, but when lisa leonard contacted me about doing one, i said absolutely yes in a skinny minute!  her jewelry is simply elegant.  and stunning.   visit my review blog to WIN!

Sage looks so beautiful in her new hat...She is growning so fast! Hope you had a relaxing weekend,sweetie
I love Lisa's designs and I would love to get the "word of the year" necklace. Fingers crossed. Kisses

Jordan said...

Sage is adorable! I would get the "word of the year" necklace or the camera necklace! I love Lisa Leonard's designs, just too expensive for my college girl budget.

Coffee Break Mama said...

Love her in that hat and sweater! Too cute.
I would totally use a LL gift card to get that Through the Lens necklace.

Kelli said...

I love the word of the year necklace...I would absolutely get that.

Kelli said...

I follow and have for a while. Love reading your blog! The texting sounds so funny...I'll have to check that out. I saw a video on You Tube about a 3 year old crying over Justin Bieber (google it). It was so funny and she actually got to meet him. That knitted hat is super adorable.

Kelli said...

I linked to mm...love this linky.

"When parents text" made me laugh! And I love the flower on Sage's knitted hat! So pretty.

Rachel said...

Oh MY goodness, my friend!!! I have to comment on your blog first about your fabulous Miscellany Monday post before I can enter your give-away! Which I love, by the way.

Love Sage's hat. And that she's a fluffy ball of pink.

Not sure about the Bieber thing....I see games at Target about Justin Bieber. Seriously? That's the new game? I guess you're right...it's kind of cute when someone is three. Kind of.

And I CANNOT BELIEVE that a honking car is a quiet item on your noise maker. That's one of those you don't want to bump when turning it off -- or on!

Blessings friend! And now off to do my entries!

Rachel said...

First-- I'd love the WORD of the year pendant. Just because. You know, I like words. :)

Rachel said...

And of course, I follow you. You're awesome. But, more importantly my friend. :)

Rachel said...

And I'm linking up with Miscellany Monday. After all, I've only missed two (or three) since you started in. You might say that I'm a Old Time Miscellany Monday Person. Hall of Famer?

Rachel said...

And, finally, for the 4th entry, I am mentioning this giveaway in today's miscellany monday post. I'm not sure why -- since I'm kind of praying that I win it -- hee hee hee.

Thanks again, Carissa!

Kerri said...

I would buy the Word of the Year necklace!

So, in reflecting on the post I wrote last week, I have selected perception as my Word of the Year for 2011.
Things are going to happen this year.
If I only see the bad in those things, then it is all bad. If I seek to find what is good in it, then there is good.
I can choose my focus.
I can choose the perception I will have in 2011.

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
Philippians 4:8

Michelle (michabella) said...

I love Lisa Leonard! I would love to get the thin sterling cuff and have DANCE engraved in it. It's my word of the year... Dance with God. :)

Lea said...

Now, if Sage doesn't look like a little doll, I don't know who does. Just precious! I could squeeze her!

My DD and DIL were just telling me yesterday and that the toys I have for the Grans just have too many noise makers on them. Since I don't have to listen to them day in and day out, I can stand it, but they neither one can listen to it very long. It does wear thin after a while for sure.

Thanks for being such a fun hostess! Hugs!

Good morning...love your little sagey poo's hat. Ha! I just came up with that. She is a doll. We all have noisemakers in our house. Couldn't live without one. I've never heard of a honking horn as whitenoise, but I bet if you grew up in a big city it certainly would be.

I'm almost finished with your painting. I'll email you the sneak peek as soon as it's done. Hopefully today or tomorrow:)) Have a great one.
