So Much Prettier Than A Trophy

I know I have blogged about Sew Girlie before...they solved my problem when I was trying to find scrapbook covers with a preppy monogrammed twist. Sew Girlie hosted a contest..how would you use one of their monogrammed buckets. Well I won!

My bucket arrived yesterday, and I simply adore it! I can't show you mine, because I had her put my name on it. And in case you were wondering what I plan to do with my monogrammed bucket.

I always wonder where to put our guests/party favors when we have people over. So I had our bucket customized with a chocolate brown and cream fabric and our last name in celadon green. It will sit by the door and keep our happies organized until the last guest leaves.

I also want to say thank you to all of your for your prayers and emails about my mother. She is hanging in there. I was given the all clear to travel so next week I will be back in my beloved Texas and able to go with mother to the Lyme specialist. I am so thankful that I can finally feel useful.
