Some Incentive

We have collected so many shoes over the past few weeks that I just can't believe it! I stopped counting since the last *box* we received this week. I am happy to say that by the time our shoe drive is over (July 24), we should have some wonderful shoes to send to Soles4Souls. But, I am sad to say that we are only receiving shoes from our wonderful co-workers (exception - my sis; thanks Linds!). So come on family! Get it together, friends! We need your help more than anything, and are just asking for one pair of shoes to go toward a really great cause. You know you have a pair (or two) just sitting in your closet collecting dust...

To offer a bit of incentive, I am offering to design a set of 2 custom Chelsea Davis Designs notepads to the first friend/family member to give us 5 pairs of shoes for our shoe drive! That's right - any way you want them: Honey-do list, Notes from the Bride to Be, The 'Smith' Family -- you name it! Just get us the shoes and the cute and custom notepads are all yours!

Today feels like Friday to me because I am off of work for the next four days - YIPPEE! Troy has to work, unfortunately, but that leaves a full day for me to do the million things I need to do. First, I am going to go over to a gem of a paper store -- a haven -- to spend hours looking at all of the wonderful products they have, then I am going to the newly-opened Paper Source for more paper perusing, then it's lunch with Troy at one of my faves - Grand Lux Cafe. After that, I have a haircut, pedicure, and some shopping to do before we meet some family for dinner and then head out for a movie date :) It sounds like a lot (cuz it is) but doesn't it all sound so fun?! I am really looking forward to the day, so much so that I will be at the paper store by 8am! :)

We head to the coast on Saturday morning (weather permitting) for some time on the Texas coast, sipping adult beverages and lazily passing the time. We wish everyone a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend!! Somewhere in between the BBQ and the fireworks, take a moment to give thanks for our freedoms, our independence, and the men and women who have, continue to, and will one day serve to protect those freedoms.
