Linky Love!

I still haven't finished Shelby's 12 month post or finished the last party post yet {her birthday was only a week and a half ago, so I guess it's not that bad, right?!}, so in the meantime I thought I'd share a few fun links with you. :)

--click here {HERE} for a personalized Halloween treat bag
This is what Shelby will be carrying on Halloween this year. :) I was originally going to order one from Pottery Barn Kids for her, but I didn't love any of them enough to spend the money. Plus, I never have good look with their monogramming. So I kept looking. Then I found Personalization Mall's treat bags, which I thought were super cute...and very reasonably priced, especially considering the price included monogramming. And the best part is they're on sale now! :)

--click {HERE} a free & fun fall printable {pictured below on the right-hand side of the shelf}
I think I originally came across this when I saw it mentioned on Blue Eyed Bride, but I just love it!
--click {HERE} for a post that really spoke to me on frienships
I will try not to go into whole lot of detail about this because I could totally dedicate an entire post to this topic}. I've mentioned {HERE} before that making new friends can be hard for me. I think it's one of those things that definitely gets harder as you get older, and it's also hard if you are at stay-at-home-mama. When you're working, you're around people all the time. But when you stay home, it's easy to start to feel isolated and alone..even though you're really not. And it's especially hard when you have to pick up and move every few years. I'm so thankful that we still have a great deal of time left here in Biloxi b/c I really feel like I am starting to find my niche here, and it's such a good feeling. Perhaps I'll share more on this later once I get caught up on the ole blog..

--click {HERE} for a tutorial on a super cute DIY fall wreath
I found the tutorial from Kate over at Barefoot Daydreams, and I also saw this wreath on Bless Our Nest recently. So cute! I plan to attempt this soon, but I'm sure mine won't turn out nearly as cute as these ladies' did!

Okay, I think that's enough random links & thoughts for one day...hopefully I'll be back later this week with Shelby's 12 month post and/or the rest of the birthday pictures! We'll see! ;)
