Remember that sewing machine I was stoked to get? Well it came Wednesday. No excitement what so ever. It was tiny. And when I say tiny, I mean tiny! *Cue tears.* On another note, I had been obsessing over the new mini Keurig coffee makers. After I placed a bid on one of ebay, my dad made an amazing point- "The coffee maker has nothing to do with the taste of the coffee. The taste of the coffee is in the coffee beans you buy. Go buy a $10 dollar Walmart coffee maker, and a flavored coffee." Hmm... gotta give it to you Dad. Brilliant. So, Thursday evening, Nanny Mal & I set off to Walmart, tiny sewing machine + return slip in hand. After getting my twenty three dollar in-store credit card, I headed to the home selection! Sure enough, I found a coffee maker for under ten bucks, which now sits happily on my counter tops. In the cabinet above sits caramel drizzle, vanilla, and cinnamon spice pre-ground coffee. To.Die.For! All that was the same price as my sewing machine plus shipping and handling. Shoulda known that I couldn't get a standard size sewing machine for twenty-ish bucks. Oh well, lesson learned.
coffee maker: Rival (walmart)- coffee mug: walmart- coffee-walmart
Last week I won a give away hosted by Danielle From "Framed Frosting". It was a $35 dollar store credit to BeautifulCov- where I selected two different color pillow covers. Yesterday I received them in the mail! So excited!! I opened a package to find two red-chevron envelope pillow covers, and two brown& white paisley print envelope pillow covers! My initial thought was to give them away as gifts. But after seeing the amaaazing quality, I will keep them for my own home! Go check out BeautifulCov by Danielle on Etsy!! Danielle Covington, the creator of BeautifulCov was such a doll to work with! Always quick to respond to my emails and she sent my package Tuesday- got it Friday!
The main reason I am doing a post today about recent updates is to inform all of you "tweeters" that I have created a Twitter strictly for my blogging purposes (giveaways, following others, etc. ) Before I started this blog, I deleted my personal Facebook & Twitter to remove myself from hurtful drama going on in my life. It was an excellent & life changing choice I do not regret what so ever. I have had so much worry about joining thw Twitter world once more. But I am, fully for blogging purposes! I have followed a handful of blogs, but if I missed you, leave a comment telling me you followed me on Twitter and I will follow you back! I also opened a Hello Cotton account. I am very unsure of how to use this website. I thought it would be self-explanatory. If any other users of Hello Cotton would like to offer me help/advise on using this site, please email me at dashofsouthern@yahoo.com !!
Hmm.. what else is new...
My mom got a Mini Cooper S! Cute, right??
Tim McGraw's new song, Trucl Yeah, is the bomb. It makes me want to go back to driving my Ford F250 instead of searching for a convertible Volkswagon Beetle...
Craig Morgan's song "Corn Star" from his "This Ole Boy" album is pretty great too...!
I finally saw "21 Jump Street" - two comments on that one
1) HAHAHAHAHA!
2) Channing, marry me? Love you Tyler ;)
Have a wonderful Saturday!
Enjoy the coffee for now and keep saving up for that sewing machine.
