And so the summer closes....

Well, its been one of those summers... family, family vacations, training a young barrel horse, catching a fugitive, vbs, puppies, new website and business overhaul, bbqs, baptisms, and kids.
Yowza. Maybe one of these days I'll sit down and blog it all, but in lieu of that I think I'll post my favorite websites. Its like a web roll, but not my friends, just websites I love for one reason or another.

Drum roll please!!!

1. fuglyblog.com A snarky commentary on horse abuse, training, poor breeding practices, etc. all rolled together with a liberal coating of cuss words. It's full of mindless drones all agreeing with her, but I still seem to like it and check it every day!

2. knock-offwood.com Ever loved a Pottery Barn coffee table but choked at the price? Ana White has seriously awesome plans for every furniture piece in existence. I have a few marked to build at some point.

3. unhappyhipsters.com Just so funny. And smug. thank you to JoanE Kimball for adding this sarcastic delight to my life.

4. sewmamasew.com always great for a little sewing inspiration

5. howaboutorange.com this is an awesome website dedicated to inspiring and bizarre creativity. She will take you all over the "interwebs" in search of the fun, creative, and graphically pleasing.

6. heatherbailey.typepad.com I visit this one every so often when I need a shot of color and cute

7. cakewrecks.com this site makes me laugh out loud. I even snorted Diet Coke once. It happens.

8. starfall.com they are teaching LB how to read. Parenting is really so difficult.

9. etsy.com Really what else is there to say? HOURS wasted here, trolling for sewing ideas. If you've never been to etsy, you should really question if you are a human.

10. shabbyapple.com for when I need a cocktail dress. or a smoking jacket. or a sense of style.

So have fun wasting your good years on these sites. I always do!
