Flavors to Follow: Somewhere Over The Rainbow

…Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true


I have dreams of learning new things at work, growing this blog with possible sponsorship, starting an etsy shop with accessories and sewn goodies, improving in my photography, learning new recipes each month, finishing our basement, trying to eat healthy and workout while traveling, being the best wife/friend/daughter/sister-in-law/co-worker/blogger/stranger I can be, starting a family (eventually), all of this and trying to get enough sleep each night.  Those dreams are somewhere… somewhere over the rainbow right?  😉

This week’s flavors to follow idea, as well as some of the links, were actually sent to me by sweet Erin from Slipcover Your Life.  If you love cross-stitch, you must check out her shop!  I’ve been so busy dreaming that I’ve been scrambling for ideas for this feature lately, so I was so happy when Erin sent me an email with this wonderful idea.  I hope this colorful collage brings happiness to your weekend!  🙂

If you guys have any ideas of things you’d love to see in this friday feature, please don’t hesitate to let me know through comments, email, twitter, whatever!  It could be anything from puppies to the color turquoise to lace to stars!

Have a wonderful weekend lovelies!  See you next week from Canada, eh?

    Aww! I so wish I would have seen that wedding cake about six years ago! I had a rainbow theme wedding back in 2005, and although my cake was lovely, that one would have been perfect.

    What a wonderful post Sandy!! I haven’t seen a rainbow for a while here.. which means there hasn’t been rain for weeks. At least not during the day. We need some.. everything looks brown.. well, not really, but not at green as usual.

    I’m excited to see your etsy shop. I really need to open up mine soon, but need to get motivated… again. ha ha.

    I hope you’re enjoying the rest of your Sunday. Hmmmm it’s probably already Monday where you are.. it’s 6:45pm here in Hawaii! much love girlie.

    xx Love & Aloha
