*Jeep Commercial*

This commercial made me laugh. I thought I would share it with those of you that read this. I am still laughing from watching it.

Don't forget to take time to vote today. You are required to get paid time off work if you want to vote. Most polling places are open at 7am and polls close at 8pm. This link to the Secretary Of State's office will give you information on where to vote and what you need to register if you haven't. Happy voting!

I had a wonderful birthday and anniversary today. I celebrated last weekend and I still have at least one more dinner coming my way. HERE are pictures from my birthday celebrations. Take a look if you want.

It's been a whole two years since our beautiful wedding on the beaches of Florida. And the weather was great today…and is only getting better in the next couple of days! I can't believe it's been two years. It seems like just yesterday. It's been the best two years and I couldn't ask for anything more!

Wow! When I started this I though I was going to have a hard time finding things I wanted…that certainly wasn't the case. I will add more things as I think of them. After my birthday I will make a Christmas list and will put things I didn't get from this list on that one.

We went to a friend's birthday party this past weekend and some how I managed to either get a bee sting or a spider bite while we were at the bar…inside….in October. Now this could only happen to me. It's just something people wouldn't really be surprised to hear. But man, did it hurt. Paige made me carry around a glass of ice water with my finger in it. Just a strange little story I thought I would share.

I just added a new card set for fall. Get them while leaves are still on the ground and falling from the trees or save them for next year!

It can be ordered at SimplyWhimsical.com under the seasonal card sets. Take a look!

I have put some purses on sale on SimplyWhimsical.com. I only have a few up there right now, but more are in the making. I am only selling one of each at the moment. So if you want one that is for sale, buy it now! I will be adding different fabrics and new purses as I get them finished!

Also, look for new card sets in the next couple days!

Last weekend we went to a wedding for our friends Ben and Trisha. It was a beautiful ceremony and lots of fun was had by all. Here are a couple pictures.

Congratulations Ben and Trisha Fisher!

I am a little behind in writing in here. A couple weekends ago we went to Bayfield to hang out on his dad's boat. Paige, her boyfriend, Brian and her friend, Paul came with.

HERE is the gallery of the pictures from the trip. We went to Sand Island and looked at the sea caves and took a mile walk to the lighthouse on the island. It was a lot of fun. The weather started getting bad, so we only made it to one lighthouse. We also went to Madeline Island one day and walked around. We had lots of fun there. And of course, we did lots of eating at great places with wonderful food.

The last day we were there, we were at the marina and this little guy showed up.

Yes, that is a porcupine. He was so cute. I never realized how funny they are. They are not very graceful, that's for sure.

We also stayed in a beautiful cabin right by the marina. We sat on the porch in the mornings and looked at the lake and had breakfast. What a great weekend!

SimplyWhimsical.com has made it's first sale yesterday! I am very excited about it! Hopefully this will be the beginning of a HUGE chain of orders.
