Miscellany Monday

one. license to drive

Sweet Bean's got a new ride, thanks to a Sunday trip to Toys R' Us and one unnecessary, but still greatly appreciated, monetary donation from Gammie. Needless to say, Gillian Grace's new Little Tikes Cozy Coupe is a hit!

On another note---How long does it take and engineer and accountant to put together a children's toy?

Answer: So long, that a 20 month old felt it was time to lend a hand.

two. it's how we ROLL

Just as darkness began to fall yesterday evening, Bret came to me with an idea for playing a practical joke on our friends (and neighbors) who also happen to be some of the biggest Alabama fans around. Apparently their car, with vacant front license plate, was just screaming for a little team spirit!

We've got spirit, yes we do!
Now, thanks to us, they do too!

three. it's springtime

Saturday we ventured across the bay for an arts and crafts festival. Not only was the event jam packed with people, great for the local economy, but it was hotter than blue blazes. Of course this was the day I chose to sport my fully lined Lilly dress and wear my hair down and straightened! Ummmm, miserably uncomfortable party of 1, your table is now ready!!

Despite feeling as though I was going to spontaneously combust at any moment, the heat didn't seem to bother Sweet Bean one bit as she thoroughly enjoyed herself. When we took a respite from the sun underneath a shady shop overhang, Gillian Grace once again became the center of attention as she moved and grooved to the nearby tunes of the jazz band.

four. sweet bean

The name Sweet Bean is a familiar one, to family and loyal readers of this here bliggity blog. And now, I'm pleased to share that sweet bean is now the name of my new design company. My design shop, complete with new name and products is finally up and running! If you're in need of a design, whether it be stationery for a special occasion or a new look for your blog, I'd be glad to help! Just like my little Sweet Bean (and the inspiration behind the name), I hope you'll find my designs simply sweet!

five. yadda yadda yadda

It's Monday and the first week without The Bachelor. What will you watch instead tonight?

Is your team in the NCAA tourney? Who are you cheering for during March Madness? Go Gators!

I hope that your week is off to a wonderful start! Make it a great one, y'all!

Tuesday Tidbits

Well it's Tuesday, but if you're here looking for Home Tour Tuesday, you'll need to swing back by on March 15th, when my partner in crime, Daphne, and I will be back with the next installment of HTT. With two weeks to plan, clean, organize, and snap photos, there's really no reason not to participate in March 14th's: Let's Play!---Show us your playroom and/or craft room.

With things so hectic around our home lately, I honestly don't know which end is up half the time. So for now, the best I can offer is a short-hand version of life with the Webbs---bullet style!

•  I'm loosing it! I have lost it! I cannot remember anything and I constantly find myself searching for something. Just today I thought I'd lost my keys at the eye doctor. Shortly before being reduced to a blubbery teary mess, I found them in the side zippered pocket, exactly where I'd put them! Then upon returning to my car I checked both the console and the glove compartment for my sunglasses only to discover as I glanced in the rearview, that they were resting on top of my head! 

• Sweet Bean is talking more and more these days! As I type, I sit trying to recall all the new words she's thrown our way lately, but it's impossible---there are just too many! Though I do know that bike, outside, and ride are among the most recent additions to her vocabulary. And with her new pink trike, an early Spring gift from Gammie and Grandad (now Pop, courtesy of GG), you can probably see why these words have grown so popular!

 

• Have you tried...

If not, what are you waiting for? Yummy in my tummy!

• The Bachelor went exactly as I {and many others} figured it would, Brad sent Ashley packing! I don't know why, but I have enjoyed this season immensely! Thinking ahead to next week, my money is on Emily. Either that, or Brad's past will catch up with him and he'll leave both woman standing at the alter, so to speak!

• We've been organizing...and organizing...and ORGANIZING! We've given away 9 medium sized moving boxes to Goodwill filled to the brim with only my clothing. But why is it that after filling box after box with clothes I hadn't worn in quite sometime, I suddenly feel like Cinderella with nothing to wear? Where's a Fairy Godmother when you need her? This girl could use some new threads!

• With an impending overhaul of my design blog and tons of major changes afoot,  I thought I'd use Webbisodes to share some of my latest work---Spring holiday photo cards! Take a look, I'd love to help you send thoughts and wishes to family and friends. And stay tuned, as soon as I've got the new shop up and running, you'll be one of the first to know! If you're interested in placing an order, email me at shannonywebb{at}gmail{dot}com, click here,  or visit my design blog for more information.

So how's your week so far? What's on your life's bullet list today?
